Текст песни BUY Vocal Point - Nearer, My God, to Thee

(DEO ADJUVANTE NON TIMENDUM
IN PERPETUUM
DIRIGE NOS DOMINE
AD AUGUSTA PER ANGUSTA
SIC ITUR AD ASTRA
EXCELSIOR)

IN ARTICULO MORTIS
CAELITUS MIHI VIRES

Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
Even 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

Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!

EXCELSIOR

Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down,
Darkness be over me, my rest a stone.

EXCELSIOR

Angels to beckon me nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!

EXCELSIOR

Or if on joyful wing, cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upwards I fly.
