Go Back

Nearer My God to Thee

Words & Music by Sarah Fuller Adams, Lowell Mason

Lyrics:

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 my God to thee
Nearer to thee

This song mixes old excerpts of religious verses, as well as Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus (a 1922 hymn by Helen Lemmel and Harry Clarke), sung in a medley. Nearer My God to Thee is a song of 1840 by Sarah Fuller Adams and Lowell Mason. In these performances, released for the first time in 1994, we can hear J.D. Sumner doing his special endings for Elvis. At the end of this song in particular, we can hear Elvis saying, "I was singing bass, but he covered me up. He wind me up."
