Nearer, my God, to thee!
Words: Sarah Adams, 1841
Tune: Bethany
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, my God, to thee,
nearer to thee!
There let the way appear, steps unto heav'n;
all that thou sendest me, in mercy given;
angels to beckon me nearer, my God, to thee.
Nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer to thee!
Then, with my waking thoughts bright with thy praise,
out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise;
so by my woes to be nearer, my God, to thee.
Nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer to thee!
Selah.
