Nearer My God to Thee Songtext
von Nathan Drake

Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer to Thee
Even 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 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 God, to Thee
Nearer my God to Thee, nearer to Thee


There in my Father′s home
Safe and at rest
There in my Savior's love
Perfectly blest
Age after age to be
Nearer my God to Thee
Nearer my God to Thee, nearer to Thee
