Nearer my God to Thee

G  C  G  D    
G           C            G           D
Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee,
Em             C           G      D    G
Even though it be a cross that raiseth me,
Em           C              Em         D
Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee,
G          C           G   D     G
Nearer my God to Thee, nearer to Thee.


G                  C       G             D
Though, like the wanderer, the sun gone down,
Em           C       G    D     G 
Darkness be over me, my rest a stone,
Em         C              Em         D
Yet in my dreams I'd be, Nearer, my God, to Thee,
G          C           G      D   G
Nearer my God to Thee, nearer to Thee.


G             C                G              D
Then, with my waking thoughts bright with Thy praise,
Em         C            G     D     G 
Out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise,
Em       C           Em         D 
So by my woes to be, Nearer, my God, to Thee,
G          C            G     D    G 
Nearer my God to Thee, nearer to Thee.



G           C               G          D
There in my Father’s home, safe and at rest,
Em           C              G    D     G 
There in my Savior’s love, perfectly blest;
Em        C          Em         D 
Age after age to be, Nearer my God to Thee,
G          C           G    D    G 
Nearer my God to Thee, nearer to Thee.
