The minister was preaching |
|
And the crowd was standing near |
|
The congregation was singing a tune |
|
In a voice that was loud and clear |
|
You know the crowd that stood around him |
|
They were crying, I could plainly see |
|
For the song that they sang was touching |
|
They were singing 'Nearer My God To Thee' |
|
O, nearer my God to Thee, nearer, nearer to Thee |
|
We kept on singing, nearer my God, nearer my God to Thee |
|
Oh Lord, we kept on singing nearer |
|
Nearer my God, nearer, nearer to Thee |
|
They kept on singing, nearer my, my God, nearer my God to Thee |
|
Oh yes, nearer, nearer |
|
Songs have a feeling |
|
There's a story in every song we sing |
|
Songs that are known to lift heavy burdens |
|
If all of our troubles, to God we oughta bring |
|
And if we are Christians we ought not to be ashamed |
|
To lift our voices, admire Jesus' name |
|
We ought to be able to sing, nearer, nearer my God to Thee |
|
Oh help me Lord, lift our voices and sing, nearer, nearer, nearer yes |
|
Nearer, I want to get nearer to Thee |
|
When I get lonely I can sing, nearer |
|
Nearer my God to Thee, yes I can |
|
I just bow down and say nearer and nearer, nearer |
|
Nearer my God to Thee, nearer, nearer my God to Thee |
