Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee;
E'en though 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.
Nearer to Thee;
E'en though 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.

Though, like a wanderer,
The sun gone down,
Darkness comes over me,
My rest a stone;
Yet in my dreams I'd be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.

There let me see the sight,
An open heaven;
All that Thou sendest me,
In mercy given;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, 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, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.

I love it!
Amazing!
Glory be to God!
I love you guys, I appreciate you... for posting this hymnal along with the lyrics (notes/etc) and the piano/guitar were great accompaniment. Since my guitar was in bad shape. I miss it....
Thank you so much! May God bless you in return! Love, Grace
P.S. My friends were afraid to sing this song because they said that its a death/funeral song. But not so for us true believers in Christ, Philippians 1:21 For me to live is Christ and to die is gain. HalleluYAH!

This is a song of all time. Right from my days as a teenager it has blessed me. Indeed it ministers intimacy and gives me a blessed assurance that God is nearer than I can imagine.

This a song that boost my fellowship with the Creator of things. It is one of the hymns that readily comes to my mind during personal interaction with my Maker.

Most highest song to me. It gives me strengthening, encouragement. Let the good Lord be on the highest. Love You Jesus, forgive me of my weakness, my Lord.

Beautiful. I was thinking about these times entering closer nearer when life's "little" difficulties press in. The comments are lovely. I did not know what hymn was played on the Titanic. I do not know why I fear approaching Him, the exposing light, because each time; {{"His presence of love comforts, strengthens and brings hope"}]
Chicago, Illinois, United States
As I draw near to God, He draws near to me. There is a nearness that every believer has with Him day by day, but when "the sun goes down, and darkness comes over me" there is a nearness of God that is.... I don't know the word. His nearness with His presence of light exposes me, but at the same time, His nearness with His presence of love comforts, strengthens and brings hope with dreams of His will in Christ.
