Nearer, My God, to Thee (Arr. James L. Stevens) Lyrics by BYU Vocal Point

2014

(Intro):
In articulo mortis
Caelitus mihi vires
(Verse 1):
Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer to thee!
E'en though it be a cross
That raiseth me
(Verse 2):
There let the way appear, (In articulo mortis caelitus mihi vires)
Steps unto heav'n; (Deo adjuvante non timendum in perpetuum)
All that thou sendest me, (Dirige nos domine ad augusta per angusta)
In mercy giv'n; (Sic itur ad astra excelsior)
(Pre-chorus):
Excelsior, excelsior
Excelsior, excelsior
(Chorus):
Still all my song shall be
Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer, my God, to thee, (Dirige nos domine ad augusta per angusta)
Nearer to thee! (Sic itur ad astra excelsior)
(Verse 3):
Though like the wanderer, (In articulo mortis caelitus mihi vires)
The sun gone down, (Deo adjuvante non timendum in perpetuum)
Darkness be over me, (Dirige nos domine ad augusta per angusta)
My rest a stone, (Sic itur ad astra excelsior)
(Pre-chorus):
Excelsior, excelsior
Excelsior, excelsior
(Chorus):
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee, (Dirige nos domine ad augusta per angusta)
Nearer to Thee. (Sic itur ad astra excelsior)
(Bridge):
Excelsior, (excelsior)
Excelsior, (excelsior)
Excelsior, (excelsior)
(Verse 4):
Or if, on joyful wing (In articulo mortis caelitus mihi vires)
Cleaving the sky, (Deo adjuvante non timendum in perpetuum)
Sun, moon, and stars forgot, (Dirige nos domine ad augusta per angusta)
Upward I fly (Sic itur ad astra excelsior)
(Outro):
Dirige nos domine
Ad augusta per angusta
Sic itur ad astra
Excelsior
