Nearer, O God, to Thee

Author: W. W. How Hymnal: Gloria Deo #118 (1901) Lyrics: 1 Nearer, O God, to Thee, Hear Thou our pray’r; E’en tho’ a heavy cross, Fainting we bear; Still all our pray’r shall be, Nearer to Thee, Nearer, O God, to Thee; Nearer to Thee. 2 If, where they led the Lord, We, too, are borne; Planting our steps in His; Weary and worn; There let us ever be; Nearer to Thee; Nearer, O God, to Thee; Nearer to Thee. 3 And when Thou, Lord, once more, Glorious shalt come; Oh, for a dwelling place In Thy bright home; Thro’ all eternity! Nearer to Thee; Nearer, O God, to Thee; Nearer to Thee. Topics: Aspiration Languages: English Tune Title: HOW

Author: William W. How Hymnal: Laudes Domini #313 (1890) First Line: Nearer, O God, to thee! Lyrics: 1 Nearer, O God, to thee! Hear thou our prayer; Ev'n though a heavy cross Fainting we bear, Still all our prayer shall be Nearer, O God, to thee, Nearer to thee! 2 If, where they led the Lord, We too are borne, Planting our steps in his, Weary and worn; There even let us be Nearer, O God, to thee, Nearer to thee! 3 If thou the cup of pain Givest to drink, Let not the trembling lip From the draught shrink; So by our woes to be Nearer, O God, to thee, Nearer to thee! 4 Though the great battle rage Hotly around, Still where our Captain fights Let us be found; Through toils and strife to be Nearer, O God, to thee, Nearer to thee!
