Lyrics

[00:02.79] Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
[00:13.11] E'en though it be a cross that raiseth me,
[00:23.67] Still all my song shall be,
[00:29.22] Nearer, my God, to Thee.
[00:34.87] Nearer, my God, to Thee,
[00:40.28] Nearer to Thee!
[00:46.12] Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down,
[00:56.73] Darkness be over me, my rest a stone.
[01:07.63] Yet in my dreams I'd be
[01:13.05] Nearer, my God to Thee.
[01:18.58] Nearer, my God, to Thee,
[01:24.04] Nearer to Thee!
[01:30.04] There let the way appear, steps unto heav'n;
[01:40.18] All that Thou sendest me, in mercy given;
[01:51.14] Angels to beckon me
[01:56.45] Nearer, my God, to Thee.
[02:01.92] Nearer, my God, to Thee,
[02:07.47] Nearer to Thee!
[02:13.21] Then, with my waking thoughts bright with Thy praise,
[02:23.88] Out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise;
[02:34.40] So by my woes to be
[02:39.83] Nearer, my God, to Thee.
[02:45.27] Nearer, my God, to Thee,
[02:50.65] Nearer to Thee!
[02:56.46] Or, if on joyful wing cleaving the sky,
[03:06.66] Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I'll fly,
[03:17.26] Still all my song shall be,
[03:22.72] Nearer, my God, to Thee.
[03:28.27] Nearer, my God, to Thee,
[03:33.57] Nearer to Thee!
[03:39.66]
