  1. 1Nearer, my God, to Thee,
  2. Nearer to Thee!
  3. E'en though it be a cross
  4. That raiseth me,
  5. Still all my song shall be,
  6. Nearer, my God, to Thee,
  7. Nearer, my God, to Thee,
  8. Nearer to Thee!
  9. 2Though like the wanderer,
  10. The sun gone down,
  11. Darkness be over me,
  12. My rest a stone,
  13. Yet in my dreams I'd be,
  14. Nearer, my God, to Thee,
  15. Nearer, my God, to Thee,
  16. Nearer to Thee!
  17. 3There let my way appear
  18. Steps unto heav'n;
  19. All that Thou sendest me
  20. In mercy giv'n;
  21. Angels to beckon me
  22. Nearer, my God, to Thee,
  23. Nearer, my God, to Thee,
  24. Nearer to Thee!
  25. 4Then with my waking thoughts
  26. Bright with Thy praise,
  27. Out of my stony griefs
  28. Bethel I'll raise;
  29. So by my woes to be
  30. Nearer, my God, to Thee,
  31. Nearer, my God, to Thee,
  32. Nearer to Thee!
  33. 5Or if on joyful wing,
  34. Cleaving the sky,
  35. Sun, moon and stars forgot,
  36. Upward I fly;
  37. Still all my song shall be,
  38. Nearer, my God, to Thee,
  39. Nearer, my God, to Thee,
  40. Nearer to Thee!
  41. 6A-men.
