The minister was preaching
and the crowd was standing near
The congregation was singing a tune
in a voice that was loud and clear

You know the crowd stood around him
they were crying, I could plainly see
For the song that they sang was touching
they were singing:
Nearer my God to thee
O, nearer my good to thee, nearer, nearer to thee

We kept on singing: nearer my Lord to thee

Songs have a feeling
there is a story in every song we sing
Songs that are known to lift heave burdens
if all of our troubles, god we all _____

And if we Christians we ought not to be ashamed
to lift our voices in our Jesus´ his name
We ought to be able to sing, nearer my God to thee

Lift our voices and sing, nearer, nearer

I want to get nearer to thee
When I got lonely I can sing nearer my God to thee
I just bow down and say nearer to thee
Nearer my God to thee
