*♣ Nearer My God To Thee - Anne Murray ♣*  


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. 
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. 
There let the way appear,
Steps unto heaven
All that Thou sendest me,
In mercy given
Angels to beckon 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 to 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 I fly
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to thee!









이성가는 개인적으로 저희 친할머니께서 생전에 좋아하셨던 성가입니다.. 
저도 개인적으로 좋아하는 성가이고요.. 
그동안 냉담으로 성당 미사에도 참석하지 않았었는데.. 
오늘은 조금이나마 용서 받는 기분으로 고해성사를 보고 그동안의 냉담의 마침표를 찍으며.. 
부모님과의 약속과 제자신과의 약속을 지키며..미사를 드리는 도중에.. 
성가를 부르다가 문득 이 성가를 생각하게 되어 올립니다..
