A classic devotional hymn expressing deep desire to draw nearer to God even through trials.

Nearer my God to Thee
Nearer to Thee
Een though 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

Though like the wanderer
The sun gone down
Darkness be over me
My rest a stone
Yet in my dreams Id be
Nearer my God to Thee
Nearer my God to Thee
Nearer to Thee

There let the way appear
Steps unto heaven
All that Thou sendest me
In mercy given
Angels to beckon me
Nearer my God to Thee
Nearer my God to Thee
Nearer to Thee
