Nearer to Thee

Author: Jessie H. Brown Hymnal: Pearls of Praise #89 (1893) First Line: Back from the Long Ago Refrain First Line: Still all my song shall be Lyrics: 1 Back from the Long Ago, Distant and dim, Breathing a warning low, Comes a sweet hymn; Fraught with my childhood dreams, Is it for me; Sacred and tender seems, “Nearer to thee; “Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee.” 2 Oft in an hour of bliss, Comes the refrain, Biding me find in this, Heavenly gain; Even in my griefs I say: Father, I flee Out of this clouded way, Nearer to thee; “So by my woes to be, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee.” 3 Thus let me daily rise Nearer thy throne, Nearer the lasting prize Kept for thine own; E’en when Death’s heralds come, Lord, may they be Angels to lead me home, Nearer to thee; “Angels to beckon me, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee.” Scripture: Colossians 1:20 Tune Title: [Back from the Long Ago]
