Anne Murray Singing Nearer my god to thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee Een though it be a cross that raiseth me, Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee. Refrain: 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 Id be nearer, my God, to Thee. There let the way appear, steps unto Heavn; All that Thou sendest me, in mercy givn; Angels to beckon me nearer, my God, to Thee. Then, with my waking thoughts bright with Thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Bethel Ill raise; So by my woes to be nearer, my God, to Thee. Or, if on joyful wing cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward Ill fly, Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee. There in my Fathers home, safe and at rest, There in my Saviors love, perfectly blest; Age after age to be nearer, my God, to Thee.
