GROW

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, my God, to Thee
Nearer to Thee!

​

Though 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!

​

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, my God, to Thee
Nearer to Thee!
