Nearer, My God, to You

sung to the tune of Nearer, My God, to Thee (Bethany)

Nearer, my God, to You, nearer to You,
Though it may be a cross that brings me through.
Still, I will sing anew: nearer, my God, to You.
Nearer, my God, to You. Nearer to You.

Though like a wanderer left on my own,
Night setting over me, dangers unknown.
Still, grateful if I grew nearer, my God, to You.
Nearer, my God, to You. Nearer to You.

Now let the way appear, steps up above;
All that You give to me, You give in love.
Angels will guide me through, nearer, my God, to You.
Nearer, my God, to You. Nearer to You.

Then, waking with my thoughts bright with Your praise,
Out of my stony grief, worship I’ll raise.
Passing through moments blue, nearer, my God, to You.
Nearer, my God, to You. Nearer to You.

And, when on joyful wing kissing the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I’ll fly.
Still singing as I do, nearer, my God, to You.
Nearer, my God, to You. Nearer to You.

Nearer My God to You H

Nearer, My God, to You
