[G][C]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Nearer, [D]my [C]God, to
Thee, [G]nearer to [D]Thee!
[G]E'en [D]though it [C]be
a cross [D]that [G]rai[D]se'[G]th me,
[C]Sti[G]ll all my[C]
[G]song shall be,
[C]Nearer, my [D]God, to Thee.
[G]Nearer, [D]my God[C], to Thee,
[G]Nearer [D]to The[G]e!

[Verse 2]
Though [D]like the [C]wanderer,
[G]the sun gone [D]down,
[G]Darkness [D]be ove[C]r me, my [G]res[D]t a stone.
[G]Yet in [C]my dre[G]ams I'd be
Nearer, [C]my God to Thee.
Nearer, [G]my [D]God, to Thee,

[Verse 3]
Nearer to Thee! There let the way appear,
[G]steps unto heav'n;
All that Thou sendest me,
in mercy given;
[D]Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee.
[C]Nearer, my God, to Thee,
[D]Nearer to [G]Thee!

[Verse 4]
[C][G][C][D]
[G]Then, with my[D]
[C]wak[G]ing tho[D]ughts
bright with Thy praise, Out of my stony
[G]griefs Bethel I'll [Eb]raise[Ab];
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to Thee.
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!

[Verse 5]
Or, if on [Db]joyful
wing [Ab]cleaving the sky,
[Eb]Sun,[Ab] moon,[Eb] and stars
[Db]forgot, upwa[Ab]rd I'll [Eb]fly,[Ab]
Still [Db]all my s[Ab]ong shall be,
Nearer, [Db]my God, to Thee.
[Eb]Nearer, my God, to Thee,
[Ab]Nearer to Thee!
There in my Father's home,
[Eb]safe and at rest,
There in my Savior's [Db]love,
perfectly blest;
Age after age to be,
[Ab]Nearer [Eb]my God to Thee.[Ab]
[Eb]Nearer, my [Db]God, to Thee,
[Ab]Nearer [Eb]to Thee[Ab]!
