543. Nearer, My God, to Thee
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!
2 There let the way appear,
Steps unto heav'n;
All that Thou sendest me,
In mercy giv'n;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee!
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
3 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!
