doxology - nearer, my god, to thee lyrics

Loading...

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
still all my song 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
angels to beckon me, nearer my god to thee
nearer my god to thee, nearer to thee

or if, on joyful wing, cleaving the sky
sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward i fly

latin translations (background voices):

in articulo mortis — at the moment of death
caelitus mihi vires — my strength is from heaven
deo adjuvante non timendem — god helping, nothing should be feared in perpetum — forever

dirige nos domine — direct us, o lord
ad augusta per angusta — to high places by narrow road sic itur per christum — such is the path through christ
excelsior — ever upward
