Adams / Mason 1841?

*

G          CNearer, my God, to Thee
G         DNearer to Thee
G              CE'en though it be a cross
G    D7      GThat raiseth me
G     C      GStill all my song would be
G          C       D7Nearer, my God, to Thee
G         C            G   D7    GNearer my God to Thee, nearer to Thee

G                CThough, like the wanderer
    G        DThe sun gone down
G           CDarkness be over me
G       D7 GMy rest a  stone
G   C     G   Yet in my dreams I'd be
G          C       D7Nearer, my God, to Thee
G         C     G   D7    GNearer to Thee, nearer to Thee


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

Or, if on joyful wing
Cleaving the sky
Sun, moon, and stars forgot
Upwards I fly
Still all my song shall be
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee
