Description

Nearer my God to Thee is a TTBB Male Choir arrangement of the traditional tune by Lowell Mason with piano accompaniment. The lyrics by Sarah F. Adams were loosely based on Genesis 28:11–19, the story of Jacob’s dream. In 1912, survivors of the Titanic recounted that this is what the ship’s band played as they knew they were dying. But when you sing the lyrics of the hymn, you’ll find that it’s not so much about dying, as it is about living and new life through the power of the cross.

Nearer My God to Thee
=====================
arr. John van Gulik

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 my God to Thee, nearer to Thee.

There let the way appear, steps unto Heav’n
All that Thou sendest me, in mercy giv’n.
Angels to beckon me,
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.
Yet in my dreams I’d be,
Nearer my God to Thee.
Nearer my God to Thee, nearer to Thee.
