Lyrics by Sarah F. Adams 1841, music by Lowell Mason. Looking for a CD? You can find one at https://acapeldridge.com/ Lyrics: 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, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee! Though like a 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. Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee! Or, if on joyful wing cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I fly, Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee. Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee! Lyrics by Francis of Assisi (1225) Music by Geistliche Kirchengesang (1623) This song is a part of my newest album, Whatever is Worthy of Praise, which is available at acapeldridge.com.
