Nearer, my God, to thee

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!

Deep in thy sacred heart, let me abide

Thou who hast bled for me, sorrowed and died.

Sweet shall my weeping be, grief surely leading me,

Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee!
