G          C
[tab]G         D
Nearer to Thee

G              C
E'en though it be a cross

G    D7      G
That raiseth me

G     C      G
Still all my song would be

Nearer, my God, to Thee

Nearer my God to Thee, nearer to Thee
[Verse 2]
G                C
Though, like the wanderer

    G        D
The sun gone down

G           C
Darkness be over me

G       D7 G
My rest a  stone

G   C     G   
Yet in my dreams I'd be

G          C       D7
Nearer, my God, to Thee

Nearer my God to Thee, nearer to Thee

G                   C
There let the way appear

      G     D
Steps up to heaven

G             C
All that Thou sendest me

G  D7    G
In mercy given

G         C      G
Angels to beckon me

G          C       D7
Nearer, my God, to Thee

[verse 4]

Then, with my waking thoughts

       G        D
Bright with Thy praise

G               C
Out of my stony griefs

G      D7   G
Bethel I'll raise

G        C       G
So by my woes to be

G          C       D7
Nearer, my God, to Thee

G         C            G   D7    G
Nearer my God to Thee, nearer to Thee
[verse 5]
G                C
Or, if on joyful wing

G            D
Cleaving the sky

G                       C
Sun, moon, and stars forgot

G       D7 G
Upwards I  fly

G            C          G
Still all my song shall be

G          C       D7
Nearer, my God, to Thee

G         C            G   D7    G
Nearer my God to Thee, nearer to Thee
