Text and translations
English text
1 Nearer, my God, to Thee, |
3 There let my way appear |
4 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.
|valign="baseline" width=33.333333333333%| 5 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.
