The original lyrics to the hymn are as follows: Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee! E'en though it be a cross that raiseth me; Still all my song shall be nearer, my God, to Thee, Chorus: Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee! Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down, Darkness be over me, my rest a stone; Yet in my dreams I'd be nearer, my God, to Thee, Chorus There let the way appear steps unto heav'n; All that Thou sendest me in mercy giv'n; Angels to beckon me nearer, my God, to Thee, Chorus Then with my waking thoughts bright with Thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise; So by my woes to be nearer, my God, to Thee, Chorus Or if on joyful wing, cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upwards I fly, Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee, A sixth verse was later added to the hymn by Ed­ward H. Bick­er­steth, Jr. as follows: There in my Father's home, safe and at rest, There in my Savior's love, perfectly blest; Age after age to be, nearer my God to Thee. Chorus "Nearer, My God, to Thee" is also associated with the sinking of the RMS Titanic, as some survivors later reported that the ship's string ensemble played the hymn as the vessel sank. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Subscribe to André Rieu's YouTube channel at:    / andrerieutv   Or follow André Rieu at:   / andrerieu     / andrerieu   https://plus.google.com/+andrerieu - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - © 2013 -- André Rieu Productions | www.andrerieu.com
