Good-will Songs

|: Nearer, my God, to thee, :|| Nearer to thee.

2 Though like a wanderer,
Daylight all gone,
Darkness be over me,

My rest a stone,
Yet in my dreams I'd be
|: Nearer, my God, to thee, :||
Nearer to thee.

3 There let the way appear,
Steps up to heaven;
All that thou sendest me

In mercy given:
Angels to beckon me,

: Nearer, my God, to thee, :||
Nearer to thee.

4 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 to thee.

Adams.

I O God, O Spirit, Light of all that live,

Who dost on them that sit in darkness shine!
The darkness ever with the light doth strive;
Yet pour on us again thy beams divine.

2 O Breath from out the Eternal Silence! blow
Softly upon our spirits' barren ground;

The precious fullness of our God bestow,
That fruits of faith, love, reverence may abound.

3 O Fountain! that dost unexhausted flow

To quench the thirst that seeks thy waters clear!
O God, O Spirit, Life of life! flow now

Into the quiet hearts which seek thee here.

Anon.

Tersteegen.

Here, our willing foot-steps meet - ing, Ev'ry heart to heaven as - pires;

From the Fount of glo ry beam-ing, Light celestial cheers our eyes,

I worship thee.
