[Verse 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!

[Verse 2]
Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down
Darkness be over me, my rest a stone;
Yet all my dreams shall be nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
