[00:02.79]Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
[00:13.11]E'en though it be a cross that raiseth me,
[00:23.67]Still all my song shall be,
[00:29.22]Nearer, my God, to Thee.
[00:34.87]Nearer, my God, to Thee,
[00:40.28]Nearer to Thee!
[00:46.12]Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down,
[00:56.73]Darkness be over me, my rest a stone.
[01:07.63]Yet in my dreams I'd be
[01:13.05]Nearer, my God to Thee.
[01:18.58]Nearer, my God, to Thee,
[01:24.04]Nearer to Thee!
[01:30.04]There let the way appear, steps unto heav'n;
[01:40.18]All that Thou sendest me, in mercy given;
[01:51.14]Angels to beckon me
[01:56.45]Nearer, my God, to Thee.
[02:01.92]Nearer, my God, to Thee,
[02:07.47]Nearer to Thee!
[02:13.21]Then, with my waking thoughts bright with Thy praise,
[02:23.88]Out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise;
[02:34.40]So by my woes to be
[02:39.83]Nearer, my God, to Thee.
[02:45.27]Nearer, my God, to Thee,
[02:50.65]Nearer to Thee!
[02:56.46]Or, if on joyful wing cleaving the sky,
[03:06.66]Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I'll fly,
[03:17.26]Still all my song shall be,
[03:22.72]Nearer, my God, to Thee.
[03:28.27]Nearer, my God, to Thee,
[03:33.57]Nearer to Thee!
[03:39.66]
