tennessee ernie ford - nearer my god to thee lyrics
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.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, my god, to thee, nearer to thee!
3.there let the way appear, steps unto heaven;
all that thou sendest me, in mercy given;
angels to beckon me
nearer, my god, to thee;
nearer, my god, to thee, nearer to thee!
4.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!
5.or if, on joyful wing cleaving the sky,
sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward i fly,
still all my song shall be,
nearer, my god, to thee;
nearer, my god, to thee, nearer to thee!
