Tip: "G" tricks are to bring out melody. Could use G D(or D7) G C 
     in place of G G9 "G92" C. Or G . . C for easier way.


   G      G9   G92 C               G               D
1  Near---er,  my  God, to Thee,   nearer to       Thee!
2  Though like the wanderer,       the sun gone    down,
3  There  let  the way appear,     steps unto heav'n;
4  Then,  with my  waking thoughts bright with Thy praise,
5  Or,    if   on  joyful wing     cleaving the    sky,
6  There  in   my  Father's home,  safe and at     rest,

   G     G9     G92  C              G      D7      G
1  E'en  though it   be a cross     that   raiseth me,
2  Dark--ness   be   over me,       my     rest a  stone.
3  All   that   Thou sendest me,    in     mercy   given;
4  Out   of     my   stony griefs   Bethel I'll    raise;
5  Sun,  moon,  and  stars forgot,  upward I'll    fly,
6  There in     my   Savior's love, perfectly      blest;


   G*    C   G*        G     G*      C   G*      G  D
1  Still all my song   shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee.
2  Yet   in  my dreams I'd   be, nearer, my God, to Thee.
3  Ang---els to beck---on    me, nearer, my God, to Thee.
4  So    by  my woes   to    be, nearer, my God, to Thee.
5  Still all my song   shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee.
6  Age   af--ter age   to    be, nearer my God to Thee.

    G    D7  G  C             G   D7    G
1-6 Near-er, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
