Nearer my God to Thee nearer to Thee In though it be a cross that raiseth me Still all my songs shall be nearer my God to Thee Nearer my God to Thee nearer to Thee (Though like a wanderer the sun comes down Darkness be over me my rest a stone Yet in my dreams I'd be nearer my God to Thee Nearer my God to Thee nearer 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 Thee
