��Sarah Flower Adams (1S05-1S4S).
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 to thee !
Though, like the wanderer,
The sun gone down.
Darkness be over me.
My rest a stone ;
Yet in my dreams I'd be
Nearer, my God, to thee.
Nearer to thee !
��There let the way appear
Steps unto heaven ;
All that thou send'st to mc,
In mercy given ;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to thee.
Nearer to thee !
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 to thee !
