Nearer To Thee Lyrics - Specialty Profiles: Sam Cooke & The Soul Stirrers - Sam Cooke

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 that 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 God to Thee, nearer, nearer to Thee 

We kept on singing, nearer my God, nearer my God to Thee 

Oh Lord, we kept on singing nearer 

Nearer my God, nearer, nearer to Thee 

They kept on singing, nearer my, my God, nearer my God to Thee 

Oh yes, nearer, nearer

Songs have a feeling 

There's a story in every song we sing 

Songs that are known to lift heavy burdens 

If all of our troubles, to God we oughta bring 

And if we are Christians we ought not to be ashamed 

To lift our voices, admire Jesus' name 

We ought to be able to sing, nearer, nearer my God to Thee 

Oh help me Lord, lift our voices and sing, nearer, nearer, nearer yes

Nearer, I want to get nearer to Thee 

When I get lonely I can sing, nearer 

Nearer my God to Thee, yes I can 

I just bow down and say nearer and nearer, nearer 

Nearer my God to Thee, nearer, nearer my God to Thee
