Nearer my God to thee

Muziek: L.Mason

 

Nearer my God to thee, nearer to thee,

Ev’n though it be a cross, that raised me.

Still al my song shall be, nearer my God to thee,

Nearer my God to thee, nearer to thee.

 

Tough like the wanderer, daylight all gone,

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.

 

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 d to thee,

Nearer my God to thee, nearer to thee.

 

Or if on joyful wing, cleaving the sky,

Sun, moon and stars forgot, upward I’ll fly.

Still all my song shall be, nearer my God to thee,

Nearer my God to thee, nearer to thee.
