Nearer, My God, to Thee
In articulo mortis
caelitus mihi vires
Nearer my God to thee
nearer to thee,
e'en though it be a cross
that raiseth me.
There let the way appear
steps unto Heav'n
all that thou sendest me
in mercy giv'n.
Excelsior, excelsior, excelior, excelsior...
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.
Excelsior, excelsior, excelior, excelsior...
Angels to beckon me
nearer my God to thee
nearer my God to thee
nearer to thee!
Oohhh!
Or if on joyful wing
cleaving the sky!
Sun, moon and stars forgot
upward i fly.
Dirige nos domine
ad augusta per angusta
sic itural astra
Excelsior!

Dirige nos domine
ad augusta per angusta
sic itural astra
Excelsior!
