About this book
Nearer to thee, sacred song for voice and piano
Author: Sidwell, George
Year: 1907
[Verse 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. [Verse 2] Though, like the wanderer, / The sun gone down, / Darkness comes over me / My rest s stone; / Yet in my dreams I’d be / Nearer, my God, to Thee, / Nearer to Thee. [Verse 3] Then let my way appear / Steps unto Heaven, / All that Thou sendest me / In mercy given, / Angels to beckon me / Nearer, my God, to Thee, / Nearer to Thee. [Verse 4] Then, with my waking thoughts / Bright with Thy praise, / Out of my stony griefs / Bethel I’ll raise; / So by my woes to be / Nearer, my God, to Thee, / Nearer to Thee.
