Author: Sarah Flower Adams; Erhardt Friedrich Wunderlich Hymnal: Voices Together #658 (2020) Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.4 Scripture: Mark 8:34 Lyrics: 1 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! 2 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, nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee! 3 There let the way appear steps unto heav’n; all that thou sendest me in mercy giv’n; angels to beckon me nearer, my God, to thee, nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee! 4 Then, with my waking thoughts bright with thy praise, out of my stony griefs, Bethel I’ll raise; so by my woes to be nearer, my God, to thee, nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee! 5 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! 1 Näher, mein Gott, zu dir, näher zu dir! Drückt mich auch Kummer hier, drohet man mir, soll doch trotz Kreuz und Pein, dies meine Losung sein: Näher, mein Gott, zu dir! Näher zu dir! 2 Bricht mir, wie Jakob dort, Nacht auch herein, find ich zum Ruheort nur einen Stein, ist auch im Traume hier mein Sehnen für und für: … 3 Geht auch die schmale Bahn aufwärts gar steil, führt sie doch himmelan zu unserm Heil.

Schließt dann mein Pilgerlauf, schwing ich mich freudig auf, … Topics: Comfort; Darkness and Light; Discipleship; Funeral / Memorial Service; Heaven; Protection Languages: German Tune Title: BETHANY

O 'tis not in grief to harm me, While Thy love is left to me; O 'twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmixed with Thee.
