Author: Thomas H. Troeger; Sarah Flower Adams Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #606 (1995) Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.6.4 Scripture: Matthew 16:24 First Line: Nearer, my God to you, nearer to you Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to you, nearer to you. I'll bear the cross as Christ calls me to do and pray each day anew: Nearer my God, to you, nearer my God, to you, nearer to you. 2 When I am wandering as Jacob did, and in the deepest night the path is hid, my dreams will bring me, too, Nearer my God, to you, nearer my God, to you, nearer to you. 3 Let Jacob's ladder fill the sky above, and angels carry down the faith and love to keep this goal in view: Nearer my God, to you, nearer my God, to you, nearer to you. 4 Then, waking from the night to morning air by Bethel's stone, I'll know you hear my prayer, and how my yearning grew: Nearer my God, to you, nearer my God, to you, nearer to you.

Drückt mich auch Kummer hier, drohet man mir, soll doch trotz Kreuz und Pein, dies meine Losung sein: Näher, mein Gott, zu dir! Näher zu dir! 2 Bricht mir, wie Jakob dort, Nacht auch herein, find ich zum Ruheort nur einen Stein, ist auch im Traume hier mein Sehnen für und für: … 3 Geht auch die schmale Bahn aufwärts gar steil, führt sie doch himmelan zu unserm Heil. Engel, so licht und schön, winken aus selgen Höhn. … 4 Ist dann die Nacht vorbei, leuchtet die Sonn, weih ich mich dir aufs Neu vor deinem Thron, baue mein Bethel dir und jauchz mit Freuden hier: … 5 Ist mir auch ganz verhüllt dein Weg allhier, wird nur mein Wunsch erfüllt: näher zu dir! Schließt dann mein Pilgerlauf, schwing ich mich freudig auf, … Topics: Comfort; Darkness and Light; Discipleship; Funeral / Memorial Service; Heaven; Protection Languages: German Tune Title: BETHANY

Jesus, Thou art all compassion, Pure, unbounded love Thou art; Visit us with Thy salvation; Enter every trembling heart. 2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit Into every troubled breast! Let us all in Thee inherit; Let us find the promised rest. Take away the love of sinning; Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as its beginning, Set our hearts at liberty. 3 Come, Almighty to deliver, Let us all Thy life receive; Suddenly return and never, Nevermore Thy temples leave. Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as Thy hosts above, Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy perfect love. 4 Finish, then, Thy new creation; Pure and spotless let us be. Let us see Thy great salvation Perfectly restored in Thee: Changed from glory into glory, Till in heaven we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise.
