NEARER, MY GOD, TO THEE (lyrics)
Music by Sarah Adams, Lowell Mason, James L Stevens
Original Latin lyrics and arrangement by James L Stevens
In articulo mortis (At the moment of death)
Caelitus mihi vires (My strength is from heaven)
Deo adjuvante non timendum (God helping, nothing should be feared)
In perpetuum (For ever)
Dirige nos domine (Direct us, O Lord)
Ad augusta per angusta (To high places by narrow roads)
Sic itur ad astra (Such is the path to the stars)
Excelsior (Ever upward)
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 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,
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!
SPECIAL THANKS: McKay Crockett, Cody Phillips, and especially to the 800 musicians from 55 countries* who participated in this worldwide collaboration! We couldn’t have done this without you!

James did an AMAZING orchestration of his work and with a little help the orchestra premiered this version of the piece in 2018. Thanks to an amazing team of technicians, musicians, and dreamers we have what might be the most EPIC hymn arrangement on the planet. THANK YOU! Thank you for letting Lyceum be a part of it.

Imagine a choir not 800 strong, but tens of millions strong (and more!), all directed and performed by many of the greatest musicians of all time, in a perfect setting and passion to get it just right. If that doesn't give you some goosebumps I doubt you're imagining it strong enough.

@@marius-9333 While this song is inherently religious in nature, it has everything to do with the performance and it is not solely about religion at all. No music is solely about religion. Music is meant to invoke feelings in the heart, whatever they may be. Non-religious people can find this song beautiful, because it is beautiful. It doesnt have to be about religion only. The performance and the beauty of the song matter just as much to some people, if not more as they are what exemplify the song. Everything does not revolve around religion.

I'm so honored and grateful to be a part of this journey. James Stevens created a beautiful masterpiece beyond anyone's imagination ... including myself. During the year of pandemic, the world has become stressed and lost hope in what each day can "positively" bring them. Even today, I can only imagine and feel for the people of Beirut and the disaster that occurred there a few days ago ... and other disasters in peoples' lives. But if we hold onto something good, a positive light will come of it. The positive light today and hopefully for days to come ... even years from now, is the new release of "Nearer, My God, to Thee." This song brought together 800 individuals from 55 countries, to take a moment to put their world on hold and learn something that not only inspired a new spirit within themselves, but once put together, hopefully will inspire the world that there is a new bright light to give hope in a world of darkness. You don't have to be religious to be inspired by the efforts of 800 individuals, all worldly distancing, all from different cultures and backgrounds, working together to bring a moment of peace to your lives. I know that all the times I've heard this song before, it has brought peace and comfort into my life. Today's release brings more in-dept & lasting peace. I encourage the world to take a moment and listen to this new version. If you like it, please share with your family & friends. Thank you again to James Stevens and everyone that coordinated this effort.

R.I.P to Mr. Wallace Hartley who played it to the final moments of the R.M.S Titanic. You will be remembered forever with this song.

When Jesus Christ was born the angels were singing, so the people who are singing here seems to be angels. Who are praising God.

The first thought that came to my mind at the end of the video was "What computer did they render that on?" :)

Agree. A lot of work to put this together technically, and also mix the audio to sound so blended, crisp, etc.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to participate in this project especially since all of my performances for the semester were cancelled. I performed this live in 2018 with Lyceum Philharmonic, and it was a neat experience to perform again virtually. :)

The music, the voices, the build-up, the modulation, it's all just perfect.

I am truly in awe! The first time hearing this version brought the Spirit with such deep and strong feelings of gratitude for our Savior, Jesus Christ, and for all of those that put this inspiring hymn arrangement together for the benefit of the entire world. The second time brought even a greater sense of gratitude. May God bless this video to inspire multitudes of people to turn to our Lord and Redeemer, Jesus Christ.

Outstanding performance of a well loved hymn. Beautiful. And the entire project done via contactless digital means. The pandemic sweeping the earth has its attendant blessings : this is one of them.
