Nearer, my God to Thee
Nearer to Theel
E'en tough it be
A cross that raiseth me

Still all my song would be
Nearer, my God to Thee

Though like 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

With my working thouts
Bright with Thy Praise
Out of my story griefs Bethel I'll raise

So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God to Thee

Or if on joyful wing
Cleaving the sky
Sun, moon, and stars
Forgot upwards I fly

Still all my song
Shall be nearer my God, to Thee
Nearer, my God to Thee
Nearer to Theel
