1. Near - er, my God, to Thee, Near - er to Thee:
2. Tho' like a wan - der - er. Day - light all gone,
3. There let the way ap - pear Steps up to heav'n;
4. Then, with my wak - ing tho'ts Bright with Thy praise,
E'en though it be cross That rais - eth me;
Dark - ness be o - ver me. My rest a stone;
All that Thou send - est me. In mer - cy giv'n;
Out of my ston - y griefs, Beth el I'll raise;
ff
Still all my song shall be, Near - er, my God, to Thee,
Yet in my dreams I'd be Near - er, my God, to Thee,
An - gels to beck - on me Near - er, my God, to Thee,
So by my woes to be Near - er, my God, to Thee,

Near - er, my God, to Thee, Near - er to Thee,
