Nearer My God To Thee

	  		

G          C                           G         D 
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee 
G              C                      G    D7      G 
E'en though it be a cross, that raiseth me 
G     C      G                        G          C       D7 
Still all my song would be, nearer, my God, to Thee 
G         C            G   D7    G 
Nearer my God to Thee, nearer to Thee 

G                C                             G        D  
Though, like the wanderer, the sun gone down 
G           C                    G       D7 G 
Darkness be over me, my rest a  stone 
G   C     G                        G          C       D7 
Yet in my dreams I'd be, nearer, my God, to Thee 
G         C     G   D7    G 
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee 

G                C                             G        D 
There let the way appear, steps up to heaven 
G           C                    G       D7 G 
All that Thou sendest me, in mercy given 
G   C     G                        G          C       D7 
Angels to beckon me, nearer, my God, to Thee 
G         C     G   D7    G 
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee 


G                C                             G        D 
Then, with my waking thoughts, bright with Thy praise 
G           C                    G       D7 G 
Out of my stony grifes, bethel I'll raise 
G   C     G                        G          C       D7 
So by my woes to be, nearer, my God, to Thee 
G         C     G   D7    G 
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee 

G               C                          G        D 
Or, if on joyful wing, cleaving the sky 
G           C                    G       D7 G 
Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upwards I fly 
G   C     G                        G          C       D7 
Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee 
G         C     G   D7    G 
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee
