[Verse 1]
In the stillness of the night, I draw near,
To feel Your presence closer than before.
With each whisper of Your name, fears disappear,
I long to rest within Your boundless love.
[Pre-Chorus]
Higher than the mountains, deeper than the sea,
Your grace calls me upward, nearer unto Thee.
[Chorus]
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thy heart,
Let every step I take bring me where You are.
Through trials and triumphs, through joy and despair,
I seek Your holy light; keep me in Your care.
[Verse 2]
When life’s storms rage fierce and shadows fall,
Your steady hand guides me through it all.
Though the road is steep and weary grows my soul,
Each climb brings me closer to my goal.
[Pre-Chorus]
Higher than the mountains, deeper than the sea,
Your grace calls me upward, nearer unto Thee.
[Chorus]
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thy heart,
Let every step I take bring me where You are.
Through trials and triumphs, through joy and despair,
I seek Your holy light; keep me in Your care.
[Bridge]
Even if the path winds long and hard to tread,
Your promises sustain me as I climb ahead.
The angels’ song will meet me at that golden shore,
Where distance fades away, and we’ll part no more.
[Verse 3]
From the depths of earth to heaven's glorious height,
Your mercy lifts my spirit into flight.
Every breath I breathe declares this truth divine:
My soul belongs to You—forever Thine.
[Pre-Chorus]
Higher than the mountains, deeper than the sea,
Your grace calls me upward, nearer unto Thee.
[Chorus]
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thy heart,
Let every step I take bring me where You are.
Through trials and triumphs, through joy and despair,
I seek Your holy light; keep me in Your care.
[Outro]
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer with each prayer,
Until eternity, I’ll dwell with You there.
No storm or trial can break this bond so deep,
Forever I’ll sing: Nearer, my God, to Thee.
