39. Nearer, My God, to Thee
“Peace to him…that is near, saith the Lord.” Isaiah 57:19
Text: Sarah F. Adams; Music: Lowell Mason; Key of G major
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
E’en tho’ 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!
There let the way appear, steps unto heav’n
All that Thou sendest me, in mercy giv’n
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee!
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
Then with my waking tho’ts, 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!
