The Convention Hymnal Title of Hymn 55: Nearer My God, to Thee by Mrs. Sarah F. Adams

1 Nearer, my God, to Thee,
    Nearer to Thee!
E'en though it be a cross
    That raiseth me;
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
    Nearer to Thee!
 
2 Tho' like the wanderer,
    The sun gone down,
Darkness comes over me,
    My rest a stone;
Yet in my dreams I'd be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
    Nearer to Thee!
 
3 There let the way appear,
    Steps unto heaven;
All that Thou sendest me,
    In mercy giv'n;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
    Nearer to Thee!
 
4 Or, if on joyful wing
    Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
    Upward I fly,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
    Nearer to Thee.
Mrs. Sarah F. Adams
