Page 106 - 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 to Thee!
Page 102 - THOU art the Way :— to thee alone From sin and death we flee; And he who would the Father seek. Must seek him, Lord, by thee.
