Nearer, my God, to thee....

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!

2. 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!

3. 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!

4. 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!

5. 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!

Two Great Blogs!

Sarah, at http://www.inlightofthetruth.blogspot.com/ has given us some of her favorite passages from "Power of a Praying Wife". Look under the Book Notes category on her blog. She has a very encouraging "memory verse" meme going on right now. Also,Kelli at http://www.javamama.wordpress.com/ . She is also a wife and mom who is trying to live for God every day. So, go on over and read for awhile, you'll be glad you did!

In the past few days, I have tried to visit some other blogs than what I normally do. The blogging world has been such a blessing to me, I will try to post more blogs that I find helpful and encouraging. Have a great day!

Love and Prayers,
Julie
