Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
Nearer my God, to thee, Nearer to thee!
E'en though it be a cross that raiseth me;
Still all my song shall be
Nearer my God to thee!
Nearer my God to thee, Nearer to thee.
VERSE 2
Deep in thy sacred heart let me abide:
Thou that has bled for me, sorrowed and died.
Sweet shall my weeping be,
Grief surely leading me!
Nearer my God to thee, Nearer to thee.
VERSE 3
Friends may depart from me, Night may come down;
Clouds of adversity darken and frown;
Still through my tears I'll see
Hope gently leading me!
Nearer my God to thee, Nearer to thee.
