Edenian — Nearer My Love to Thee lyrics

Lyrics

Nearer, my Love, to thee,
Nearer, my Love, to thee!
Even tho' it be a cross
That raiseth me,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my Love, to thee,
Nearer, my Love, to thee,
Nearer to thee!
Tho' like a wanderer,
The sun gone down,
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone,
Yet in my dreams I’d be Nearer, my Love, to thee,
Nearer, my Love, to thee,
Nearer to thee.
There let the way appear
Steps unto heaven;
All that thou sendest me In mercy given;
Angels to beckon me Nearer, my Love, to thee,
Nearer, my Love, 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 Love, to thee,
Nearer, my Love, to thee,
Nearer to thee.
Or if on joyful wing
Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
Upwards I fly.
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my Love, to thee,
Nearer, my Love, to thee,
Nearer to thee!
