‘Nearer, My God, To Thee’ is already a powerful hymn. But 800 musicians take it to a whole other level as they worship together virtually.
James Stevens is credited with the original arrangement and Latin lyrics for this song. And as you listen to these words, you will be reminded that no matter what trouble you face, God is always by our side.
"In articulo mortis (At the moment of death)
Caelitus mihi vires (My strength is from heaven)
Deo adjuvante non timendum (God helping, nothing should be feared)
In perpetuum (For ever)"
