Nearer My God to Thee (A Cappella)

In articulo mortis
Caelitus mihi vires

Nearer my God, to Thee
(Oo...)

Nearer to Thee
(Oo...)
E'en though it be a cross
(Oo...)
That raiseth me.
(Oo...)
There let the way appear
(In articulo mortis caelitus mihi vires.)

Steps unto heaven
(Deo adjuvante non timendum in perpetuum.)
All that Thou sendest me
(Dirige nos Domine ad augusta per angusta.)
In mercy given
(Sic itur ad astra excelsior,)
(excelsior, excelsior,)
(excelsior, excelsi-)
Still all my song shall be
Nearer my God, to Thee

Nearer, my God, to Thee
(Dirige nos Domine ad augusta per angusta.)

Nearer to Thee.
(Sic itur ad astra excelsior!)
Though like the wanderer
(In articulo mortis caelitus mihi vires.)

The sun gone down
(Deo adjuvante non timendum in perpetuum.)
Darkness be over me
(Dirige nos Domine ad augusta per angusta.)
My rest a stone
(Sic itur ad astra excelsior,)
(excelsior, excelsior,)
(excelsior, excelsi-)
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee

Nearer, my God, to Thee
(Dirige nos Domine ad augusta per angusta.)

Nearer to Thee.
(Sic itur ad astra excelsior!)
(excelsior, excelsior,)
(excelsior, excelsior,)
(excelsior, excelsior,)
Or if on joyful wing
(In articulo mortis caelitus mihi vires.)
Cleaving the sky
(Deo adjuvante non timendum in perpetuum.)
Sun, moon, and stars forgot
(Dirige nos Domine ad augusta per angusta.)
Upward I fly.
(Sic itur ad astra excelsior.)
(Dirige nos Domine ad augusta per angusta.)
(Sic itur ad astra excelsior!)
