    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 Though like the wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone, Yet in my dreams Id be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee Nearer to Thee There let the way appear, Steps unto heavn, All that thou sendest me, In mercy givn, Angels to beckon me, Nearer, my God to thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee Then with my waking thoughts Bright with thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Bethel Ill raise, So by my woes to be Nearer, my God to thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee Or if, on joyful sing 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.

    To Helen Helen, thy beauty is to me Like those Nicean barks of yore That gently, o'er a perfumed sea, The weary, way-worn wanderer bore To his own native shore. On desperate seas long wont to roam, Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face, Thy Naiad airs have brought me home To the glory that was Greece, And the grandeur that was Rome. Lo, in yon brilliant window-niche How statue-like I see thee stand, The agate lamp within thy hand, Ah Psyche, from the regions which Are Holy Land.
