Near er, my God, to Thee, Near er to Thee.

2. Though, like a wanderer, 4. Then, with my waking thoughts

The sun gone down, Bright with Thy praise,
Darkness comes over me, Out of my stony griefs
My rest a stone; Bethel I’ll raise,
Yet in my dreams I’d be So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee. Nearer to Thee.

3. There let me see the sight,

An open 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.
