Nearer My God To Thee

The day springs hope a new
 shelter through the flames of resistance
 although tempted I remain strong
 in my dreams I plea
 nearer my God to thee
 through the weight of resistance
 under every circumstance

 to stand tall in the twilight of the hour
 keep me safe through waking thoughts
 out of my stormy grief thy parting ways
 through comfort and love left exposed
