1.	Nearer, my God, to Thee, 
	Nearer to Thee! 
	E'en tho' 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.	There let the way appear, 
	Steps unto heav'n; 
	All that Thou sendest me, 
	In mercy giv'n; 
	Angels to beckon me 
	Nearer, my God, to Thee! 
	Nearer, my God, to Thee, 
	Nearer to Thee! 

3.	Then, with my waking tho'ts 
	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!
