Nearer, My God, to Thee (Arr. James L. Stevens)

In articulo mortis
 Caelitus mihi vires
 Nearer, my God, to Thee
 Nearer to Thee
 E'en though it be a cross
 That raiseth me
 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)
 (Excelsior, excelsior, excelsior)
 (Excelsior) 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)
 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)
 (Excelsior, excelsior, excelsior)
 (Excelsior) 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)
 (Excelsior, excelsior, excelsior)
 (Excelsior, excelsior, excelsior)
 Ooh (excelsior, excelsior)
 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 (sic itur ad astra, excelsior)
 Fly (dirige nos, Domine, ad augusta per angusta)
 (Sic itur ad astra) excelsior
