Nearer my God the thee
Bethany. 8s and 4s
#585 in the good old songs

Nearer my God, to Thee,
nearer to Thee;
Even though it be a cross
that raiseth me;
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer my God to Thee.

D.S-- 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'
Near to Thee.

There let the way appear
Steps unto heaven;
All that Thou sendest me
In mercy given;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.

Then, with my waking thoughts,
Bright with Thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs,
Bethels I'll raise;
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.

Notable Quote: "There appears the greatest encouragement of obtaining full and universal LIBERTY OF CONSCIENCE that ever has since the first rise of the man of sin" From the circular letter of the Warren Association written by Elder Isaac Backus in September 1776. Although there was optimism many more struggles ensued before the 1st amendment was added to the new Constitution.
