|
Nearer, nearer |
|
The minister was preaching |
|
And the crowd was standing near |
|
The congregation sang in a tune |
|
In the hall, it was loud and clear |
|
All of the crowd that stood all around him |
|
They were crying as I could plainly see |
|
Oh, the songs that they sang was so touching |
|
They were singing to my God to Thee |
|
Nearer my God to thee |
|
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee |
|
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee |
|
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee |
|
Kept on singing |
|
Nearer my God to Thee |
|
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee |
|
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee |
|
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee |
|
Sometimes, I like to be in company |
|
But when I get out, I like to stay out for long |
|
Song is the only thing that can control me, Lord |
|
When I know trouble, trouble's about to come |
|
I fall down on my knees and call God late at night |
|
And I know He'll make my, my burdens alright |
|
I tell him, Lord, I have a desire to be |
|
Nearer, nearer my God to Thee, Alleluia |
|
Nearer my God to Thee |
|
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee |
|
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee |
|
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee |
|
Nearer my God to Thee |
|
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee |
|
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee |
|
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee |
|
I remember I was a little boy |
|
Mother still used to [Incomprehensible] |
|
I used to wonder what my mother was doing, have mercy, Lord |
|
I stepped out one morning found mother all folded up |
|
And mother had to rise up, she was looking towards the sky |
|
And I saw the tears as they fell down my mothers eyes |
|
And I can still hear the song mother was singing |
|
Nearer my God to Thee |
|
Nearer my God to Thee |
|
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee |
|
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee |
|
Nearer to Thee |
