Something for Thee.

TUNE: "Nearer, my God, to thee."
Something, my God, for thee, Something for thee : Each setting sun may bring Something for thee ; Some trial meekly borne May bring some wanderer home, In thy dear name 'tis done, Dear Lord for thee.
Something, my God, for thee, Something for thee : That to thy throne may rise As incense free. Uplifted eyes with tears, And faith unstained by fears, Hail joy, and light from thee, Dear Lord, from thee.
Something, my God, for thee, Something for thee ; For love that thou hast given, Even to me. My heart allegiance brings, And upward plumes her wings, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee.
There angel's songs we'll join, Nearer to thee : No more in sorrow pine, Ever with thee : Forever there at home, No more we exiles roam, But raise our songs to thee, Dear Lord, to thee. H. S. GURNEY.
