About Me

My photo
I am Miss Pancake Taylor. I have come from very far away to take care of my family Craig and Zita and Niamh and Emmet. Sometimes I have helpers; my friends the Blackthorn-Badgers. They are very old Scotsmen. I am very glad to meet you.

 Nearer My God to Thee

    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 to Thee!

    Though like the wanderer,
    The sun gone down,
    Darkness be over me,
    My rest a stone;
    Yet in my dreams I'd be
    Nearer, my God, to Thee,
    Nearer to Thee!

    There let the way appear
    Steps unto Heaven,
    All that Thou send'st me
    In mercy given;
    Angels to beckon me
    Nearer, my God, to Thee,
    Nearer to Thee!

    Than, with my waking thoughts
    Bright with Thy praise,
    Out of my stony griefs,
    Bethel I'll raise;
    So by my woes to be
    Nearer, my God, to Thee,
    Nearer to Thee!
