Scripture Reference: 

    And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep. And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it. (Genesis 28:11-12)

1. 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!

2. There let my 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!

3. 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!

4. Though like the 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,
    Nearer, my God, to Thee,
    Nearer to Thee!

5. 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!

1. Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
    O what a foretaste of glory divine!
    Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
    Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

Refrain:

This is my story, this is my song,

Praising my Savior all the day long;

This is my story, this is my song

Praising my Savior all the day long.

2. Perfect submission, perfect delight,
    Visions of rapture burst on my sight!
    Angels descending, bring from above
    Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

3. Perfect submission, all is at rest,
    I in my Savior am happy and blest;
    Watching and waiting, looking above,
    Fill‵d with His goodness, lost in His love.
