[Verse]
HAis deeds were never published for the pubElic
The things he did were never done for shAow
His name was never printed in the paEper
UB7ntil about two days aEgo
AHe only filed a short form for his taExes
No one asked him how he felt about the wAar
He always had a good word for his neigEhbor
Now hB7is good words won't be heard anyEmore
[Chorus]
And thrDough the rain I heard the choir sinAging Nearer my God to Thee
ThDrough the mist I saw some children cryAing
And I feElt nearer my God to ThAee
[Verse]
AHis table was never full of plEenty
His silverware was never the real thiAng
But the tears on the faces of his faEmily
Were jB7ust as real as if he were a kiEng
TAhe preacher said he'd always been a good mEan
But preachers love to throw that phrase aroAund
But the tears I tasted gave his words new meEaning
Watching oB7ld friends puttin' daddy in the groEund
[Chorus]
And thrDough the rain I heard the choir sinAging Nearer my God to Thee
TDhrough the mist I saw some children cryAing
And I feElt nearer my God to ThAee
