Текст песни Nearer, My God, to Thee (Arr. James L. Stevens) - BYU Vocal Point feat. BYU Men's Chorus

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!
