How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found; Was blind, but now I see. 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear, The hour I first believed! Through many dangers, toils, and snares I have already come; 'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. 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, (2x) Nearer to Thee. Though like the wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone, Yet in my dreams I'd be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, (2x) Nearer to Thee! There let the way appear Steps unto heaven; All that Thou send'st to me In mercy given; Angels to beckon me, Nearer, my God, to Thee, (2x) Nearer to Thee! Then with my waking thoughts Bright with They praise, Out of my stony griefs, Bethel I'll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to Thee, (2x) Nearer to Thee Or if on joyful wing Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon and stars forget, Upward I fly, Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, (2x) Nearer to Thee! |
