Nearer, my God, to Thee

1
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.
2
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.
3
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.
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, my God, to Thee,
  Nearer to Thee.

I've come to love old hymnals - this is one of my favorites that moves me. I don't care much for the new age rock and roll hip hop of the new emerging style churches, so I find myself always searching for the Spiritual songs of old, as part of the remnant church in these last days.

God bless you for putting this together, and I'll see you in the air, soon!

I was at a memorial set up two days after a siege in Sydney where people were held and killed. It was near Christmas and the Salvation Army Band were playing this hymn instead of normal carols. No one was talking (and there was a big crowd as you can imagine) and the atmosphere was amazingly peaceful and comforting. I was trying to keep my crying under control.

Thank you Karen Bryant of Decatur Georgia yes it is comforting to me also. I'm playing it tonight as I've had a wonderful day but still an un rest and stress from not knowing how this whole pandemic will end. I miss church and the fellowship thereof. Also, my parents who are two states away have been cooped up for so long. I can't travel to see them due to Crossing state lines being a risk. Pray for this to end well and for encouragement to come to the body of Christ especially because we are the salt of the earth and if we lose our flavor, well , let's just don't lose our flavor! In Jesus name amen.
