🎸 Intro: 

C          F
Nearer, my God, to thee!
C          G7
Nearer, to thee!
C              F          C    G7      C
E'en though it be a cross that raiseth me
C     F      C
still all my song shall be
C   F       C       G7
nearer, my God, to thee
C          F             C   G7    C
nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!



🎸 Verse 1:
C               F         C            G7
Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down
C           F        C   G7    C
darkness be over me, my rest a stone;
C   F     C
yet in my dreams I'd be
C   F       C       G7
nearer, my God, to thee
C          F             C   G7    C
nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

🎸 Verse 2:
C             F           C          G7
There let the way appear, steps unto heaven;
C             F           C  G7    C
all that thou sendest me, in mercy giv'n;
C F    C
angels to beckon me
C   F       C       G7
nearer, my God, to thee
C          F             C   G7    C
nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

🎸 Verse 3:
C             F               C               G7
Then, with my waking thoughts bright with thy praise
C         F            C       G7  C
out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise;
C  F     C
so by my woes to be
   F       C       G7
nearer, my God, to thee
C          F             C   G7    C
nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

🎸 Outro 4: 
C         F           C            G7
Or if, on joyful wing cleaving the sky
C            F             C       G7   C
caught up to meet my king, swiftly I'll fly
C     F      C
still all my song shall be
C   F       C       G7
nearer, my God, to thee
C          F             C   G7    C
nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!
