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 to thee.Slide3
2. Though like the wanderer,the sun gone down,
darkness be over me,
my rest a stone;
yet in my dreams I'd be
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer to thee! Slide4
3. There let my way appearSteps unto Heaven;All that thou
sendest
me
In mercy given;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God. to thee,
Nearer to thee.Slide5
4. Then with my waking thoughtsBright with thy praise,
Out of my stony
griefs
Bethel I'll raise;
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee.Slide6
They rise and needs will haveMy dear Lord made away;A murderer they saved,
The Prince of life they
slay
,
Yet cheerful He to suffering goes,
That He His foes from thence might free.Slide7
In life, no house, no homeMy Lord on earth might have;
In death no friendly tomb
But what a stranger gave.
What may I say? Heav'n was His home;
But mine the tomb wherein He lay.Slide8
5. Or if on joyful wing,Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon and stars forgot,
Upward I fly,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee
.
