Mississippi John Hurt - Rediscovered

Nearer My God to Thee

Oh, nearer my God to thee
Oh, nearer to thee
Nearer my God to thee
Nearer to thee

Nearer my God, oh nearer my God
Yeah-yes, nearer to thee

Though like a wanderer, oh, the sun goeth down
Darkness be over me, my restin' stone
Oh, yet in my dreams I'll be nearer, my God
Oh, near, yes, nearer to thee

Though like a wanderer, oh, the sun goeth down
Darkness be over me, my restin' stone
Oh, angels to beckon me nearer, my God
Oh, nearer my God to thee, yes, nearer to thee
