Today I'd like to share one of my favorite favorite hymns. Nearer My God to Thee has long been my favorite hymn for many reasons. I remember my mother and brother, Camilo, singing it when I was little, I have played it many times on the violin and piano with friends, and each time it grows sweeter. The words are so poignant and should be the prayer of all God's children. Plus the tune name is Bethany : ) So it's special that way too. May it bless you today as we all strive to be nearer to Him.
Title: Nearer My God to Thee
Arranged by: The Piano Guys
Genre: Sacred Instrumental
Performed by: Steven Sharp Nelson
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!
Though like the wanderer,
The sun go 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!
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!
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!
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!
