Nearer, My God, to Thee (Arr. James L. Stevens)

In articulo mortis
Caelitus mihi vires
Deo adjuvante non timendum
In perpetuum
Dirige nos domine
Ad augusta per angusta
Sic itur ad astra
Excelsior
In articulo mortis
Caelitus mihi vires
Deo adjuvante non timendum
In perpetuum
Dirige nos domine
Ad augusta per angusta
Sic itur ad astra
Excelsior
Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I'll fly.
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 excelsior 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 excelsior excelsior
Angels to beckon me nearer, my God, to Thee.
Nearer, my God to Thee, nearer to Thee.
Excelsior excelsior excelsior excelsior excelsior excelsior excelsior excelsior
Or, if on joyful wing cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I'll fly.
Excelsior!

Nearer, My God, to Thee (Arr. James L. Stevens)

In the article of death
From Heaven I get my strength
With God's help there is nothing to fear
For eternity
Guide us, Lord
To the heights through the hardships
Such is the way to the stars
Ever upward
In the article of death
From Heaven I get my strength
With God's help there is nothing to fear
For eternity
Guide us, Lord
To the heights through the hardships
Such is the way to the stars
Ever upward
Sun, moon, and stars forgotten, upward I'll fly.
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 giv'n;
Ever upward, ever upward, ever upward, ever upward
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;
Ever upward, ever upward, ever upward, ever upward
Angels to beckon me nearer, my God, to Thee.
Nearer, my God to Thee, nearer to Thee.
Ever upward, ever upward, ever upward, ever upward, ever upward, ever upward, ever upward, ever upward
Or, if on cheerful wing cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgotten, upward I'll fly.
Ever upward!
