Lyrics Nearer, My God, to Thee (Arr. J. Stevens) - BYU Vocal Point feat. BYU Men's Chorus

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 heaven
All that Thou sendest me
In mercy given

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

Excelsior!

Nearer my God to Thee
Steps unto heaven
All that Thou sendest me
In mercy given
