Nearer My God To Thee.

For you i bring an inspiring arrangement of the old hymn that offers new life and meaning to the message. Beautiful arrangement. You are listening to the BYU Vocal Point and Men's Chorus. As we move from this earthly life we have a new life wit God. This same sentiment is felt in the energy and anticipation of the musical arrangement. As my late sweetheart Marcia has passed, I think of her with this music and the energy she experienced in her passing. No music would properly express that moment. Here is a quote about the performance.

James Stevens's arrangement of this Christian hymn creates a feeling that is less about peace and more about the struggles in life that bring us closer to God.

Though many, as I may have a different faith than BYU, God voice is heard through music. May it speak to your heart as it has spoken to mine. Below is the Latin and English translation.

LATIN TEXT:

In articulo mortis
Caelitus mihi vires
Deo adjuvante non timendum
In perpetuum
Dirige nos domine
Ad augusta per angusta
Sic itur ad astra
Excelsior

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

At the moment of death
My strength is from heaven
God helping, nothing should be feared
For ever
Direct us, O Lord
To high places by narrow roads
Such is the path to the stars
Ever upward
