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. |

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. |

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.

Thank you, Ana Lara, for sharing with us the history of this text. I have loved this hymn for most of my life, and there is something about the singing of it that brings me a great amount of comfort. It came to me this morning, as we are all sheltering in place in the middle of this pandemic. I am praying for everyone who is suffering at this time. May the peace of God that passes all understanding strengthen and uplift all our hearts.

I've always loved the tune of this song and the words are truer than true. I remember it in the movie Titanic as those poor souls were preparing to die the band played Nearer My God to Thee
