G= do; 4/4

MAKIN DEKAT TUHAN KEPADAMU
Walaupun saliblah mengangkatku
Inilah laguku dekat kepadaMu
Makin dekat Tuhan kepadaMu

Berbantal batu pun ku mau rebah
Bagai musafir yang lunglai lelah
Asal di mimpiku dekat kepadaMu
Makin dekat Tuhan kepadaMu

Buatlah tanggaMu tampak jelas
Dan para malakMu yang bergegas
Mengimbau diriku dekat kepadaMu
Makin dekat Tuhan kepadaMu

Batu deritaku kan kubentuk
Menjadi Betelku kokoh teguh
Jiwaku berseru dekat kepadaMu
Makin dekat Tuhan kepadaMu

Nearer my God to Thee nearer to Thee
Even 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

Though like a wanderer the sun gone down
Darkness be over me, my rest a stone
Yet in my dream`s I`d be
Nearer my God to Thee
Nearer my God to Thee nearer to Thee

There let the way appear steps unto heav`n
All that Thou sendest me in mercy giv`n
Angels to beck on me
Nearer my God to Thee
Nearer my God to Thee nearer to Thee

Then with my waking thoughts,
Bright with Thy praise
Out of my stony griefs, Bethel I`ll raise
So by my woes be
Nearer my God to Thee
Nearer my God to Thee nearer to Thee

Or if on joyful wing, cleaving the sky
Sun moon and stars forgot, upward fly
Still on my song shall be
Nearer my God to Thee
Nearer my God to Thee nearer to Thee
