Lyrics from Relief Society Song Book, 1919, no. 39
1. Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! E’en tho’ it be across That raiseth me; Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 2. Tho’ like the wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone, Yet in my dreams I’d be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 3. There let the way appear, Steps unto heav’n; All that Thou sendest me, In mercy giv’n; Angels to beckon me, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 4. Or if, on joyful wing, Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forget, Upward I fly; Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee!
