1 Near -er, my God, to Thee, Near-er to Thee!
2 There let the Way ap-pear, Steps un-to heav'n;
3 Then with my wak-ing thoughts Bright with Thy praise,
G D Em C G D G
1 E'en though it be a cross That rais-eth me;
2 All that thou send-est me, In mer-cy giv'n;
3 out of my ston-y griefs Beth-el I'll raise;
G C G Bm C G D
1 Still all my song shall be, Near-er, my God, to Thee!
2 An -gels to beck-on me Near-er, my God, to Thee!
3 So by my woes to be Near-er, my God, to Thee!
