Nearer My God To Thee

Nearer, nearer

The minister was preaching
And the crowd was standing near
The congregation sang in a tune
In a voice so loud and clear

All of the crowd that stood all around me
They were crying as I could plainly see
Oh, the songs that they sang was so touching
They were singing nearer my God to Thee

Nearer my God to thee
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee

Kept on singing
Nearer my God to Thee
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee

Sometimes, I like to be in company
Then again I like to be all alone
Song is the only thing that can console me, Lord
When I know trouble, trouble's about to come

I fall down on my knees and call God late at night
And I know He'll make my, my burdens alright
I tell him, Lord, I have a desire to be
Nearer, nearer my God to Thee, Alleluia

Nearer my God to Thee
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee

Nearer my God to Thee
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee

I remember when I was a little boy
Mother used to steal off all alone
I used to wonder what my mother was doing, have mercy, Lord one morning
I stepped out and found mother with folded arms

And mother had her eyes up, she was looking up towards the sky
And I saw the tears as they fell down my mothers eyes
And I can still hear the song mother was singing
Nearer my God to Thee

Nearer my God to Thee
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee
Nearer to Thee
