The sun gone down,
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone;
Yet in my dreams I'd be
Nearer, my God, to Thee.”

Alike they’re needful to the flower;
And joys and tears alike are sent
To give the soul fit nourishment.
As comes to me or cloud or sun,
Father! thy will, not mine, be done.”

To peace.”

That raiseth me,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee!
Nearer to Thee!”
