<poem>
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.
 
2. 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.
 
3. There let the way appear
Steps unto heaven;
All that thou sendest me
In mercy given;
Angels to beckon me,
Nearer, my God, to Thee.
 
4. Or if on joyful wing
Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
Upward I fly,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee.
