On this the 100th anniversary of the Titanic sinking I thought it appropriate to watch this and now I'm sobbing after having seen the footage and photographs accompanied by this most beautiful version of this lovely hymn as performed by Andre Rieu and his orchestra. For all those souls lost that night: Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord and may perpetual light shine upon them, may they rest in peace. Amen.
if you don,t cry when you listen to this, you don,t have feelings because this song means so much, and in your minds eye you see the titanic going down as you listen and you think of all the people who died that horrible night in 1912, so if you don,t get a tear in your eye when you listen to this you either don,t have feelings or you are a very strong person if you can keep from feeling like you want to cry
I remember the last time I saw andre rieu here in columbus, they did this and by the time he was done, there wasn,t a dry eye in the house, and I,m no exception, I cried like a baby, I knew a survivor of the disaster, he worked for my family for many years till his death when I was ten, thank you for posting this, one of the best renditions I have ever heard
"Gentlemen, it has been a privilege playing with you tonight." Here is one of the most beautiful performances of this precious hymn. Thank you +miclu2011 for sharing!
It`s one of the greatest hyms ever and when I hear the melody I could cry because of all the people,who are there on ground of the sea with the "Titanic"! RIP
Very moving! And how thoughtful of Andre to include that gracious tribute to the courageous band of the Titanic whose incredible fortitude was exemplary and way beyond the call of duty. We can only admire such bravery in the face of the horrific and certain end that awaited them.
A horrific tragedy! If the musicians onboard really played (as shown in the movie), then God bless their souls and give them peace for the comfort they tried to bring to their fellow passengers.... R. I. P...
...hearing this song makes great sadness in me...each time it was sang one soul i knew went to heaven...one piece of our soul and heart taken by the Lord...
thank you so much for posting this, so beautiful, and so right for the 100th anniversary of the titanic disaster as a tribute to the victims of the disaster who died that terrible night, and may the victims of the disaster rest peacefully in the arms of god
I watched the film at the cinema 8 times before buying the video and it was and still is incredible and movingly poignant and also melancholy in its sadness !!!
Van egy keresztény ének : aminek ez a zenéje ,nagyon szeretem meg hallgatni ,de időnként el játszani is ! Közelebb - közelebb Uram hozzád : itt is ahogy egyre nagyobb volt a veszély a sülyedő hajón ,az emberek egyre közelebb kerültek az Istenhez ! Köszönöm .
Não há palavras que possam descrever a emoção dos últimos momentos naquele navio, quando algumas pessoas, sabendo que estavam às portas da eternidade, se reuniram para entoar ao som da orquestra este hino tão comovente, que nos leva às lágrimas.
În imnologia baptistă această cântate spune: Mai aproape Doamne către Tine, pe care eu în biserică am învăţat-o cu 78 de ani în urmă. Îmi place această interpretare a formaţiei Andre Rieu care este de excepţie!!!
I understand that their were independent men who never had met each other before yet were in the Titanic's band decided rather than leave the ship to save themselves they went down with the ship playing Nearer My God to Thee. God bless all who perished..
as I sit here listening to this, the tears are running down my face because I have just been told of the death of my only cousin and the last living relative my brother and I had, and we are alone now except for my sister in laws family, one of my favorite hymns, thank you for posting
I remember mr goldsmith telling my brother and I even though we were too young to really understand that he was five years old when the titanic went down, he and his mother were put in a lifeboat but his father was not allowed, and when the ship started to go down, his mother pulled him down into her lap and covered his head so he would not see his fathers fate( his father went down on the titanic), he didn,t realize his father wasn,t coming back till they arrived in new york
Lyrics: 0:07, Nearer, my God to thee, nearer to thee, E'n though it be a cross, that raiseth me, Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God to thee, Nearer, my God to thee, nearer to thee. 1:07 Though, like the Wanderer, the sun gone down, Darkness be over me, my rest like a stone. Yet in my dreams I'll be, Nearer my God to thee, Nearer my God to thee, nearer to thee. 2:14 Then with my walking thoughts, bright with thy praise, Out of thy Stony grief, bethel I shall praise. Then with my woes to be, Nearer my God to thee, Nearer my God to thee, nearer to thee.
If people thik, that this hymn is all about the Titanic, it isn´t correct. In my native country of Greenland, this hymn is sung, everytime, there is a funeral. So, when I went to see the Titanic movie, I cried, when this hymn was played over the soundtrack, with the heart-breaking scenes of people about to die..
The same situation in my country, Hungary. This song has been translated into hungarian long time ago and often sung in funerals. When my father died this was one of the songs that were sung in his funeral.
It was appropriate.. The hymm is about feeling close to god. The people still on deck knew they had pretty much zero chance of survival. I guess it was the band saying screw it.. Time to make our peace and meet our maker. This is coming from an agnostic
Ujuani68 You mentioned that your native country is Greenland. I always thought that it was called Kalaallit Nunaat, and that it was an autonomous region under the Danish Crown?
Are you sure I've seen a photograph of her under construction in Belfast beside her sister Olympic. Each dock has the ship's name signposted, Titanic's reads "White Star, Royal Mail Steamer, Titanic." That being said if you read the UK board of trade report it is titled as report of the "loss of the Steam Ship Titanic" and in the report she is sometimes referred to as SS Titanic, and often simply as "The teamer Titanic."
Og se, jeg er med jer alle dage indtil verdens ende. (Mattæus 28,20) Alle vore dage tilhører Kristus. Ikke bare de dage, som hegnes af datoerne for vor fødsel og død.Endog de af vore dage, vi aldrig selv får at se, tilhører ham. Så vide perspektiver ligger der i ordene, at han er med sit folk alle dage.
There has always been questions about what was played as the Titanic went down. It may have been the Bethany version that was played. W\Get a copy of "A Night To Remember" to see what it may have been.
My husband's grand father helped to build the Titanic and should have sailed on it as a stoker, but unfortunately or fortunately he missed the boat by minutes only with other stokers who had gone for a drink waiting for the boat to take off, but a steward would not let them on saying that they were stowaways, grand father was killed whilst building another ship on Harland and Wolfe's dockside!
I thought it was the RMS Titanic not the SS Titanic, but anyway all in all a lovely song and my heart goes to the life lost and there family's, but also to the people that lived. in there hard time to get over such an event.
did he/she ever tell you any stories about it and if so can you tell me it (i like to hear old stories from old people ) and its so true every time i hear this song i want to cry i dont think your old i mean the guy that worked for you (i dont mind if you dont want to say anything)
On lunch she was Steam Ship Titanic, the lifeboats has SS Titanic on them, but on her maiden voyage she was designated to carry the Royal Mail and could be called Royal Mail Steamer Titanic...

Beautiful Welsh Hymn. Every time I listen to it brings tears to my eyes. May all the souls who parish on that night onboard the Titanic rest in peace.
Oh my god! Hearing this as a mournful solemn french horn group solo is one of the most Beatiful ways I've ever heard this incredible hymn. Thank you.
God bless the people, who were on this ship!!! RIP
Look up "John Harper Titanic Hero."
This is indeed really splendid,what a wonderful rendition it is.Thank you
Very moving! And how thoughtful of Andre to include that gracious tribute to the courageous band of the Titanic whose incredible fortitude was exemplary and way beyond the call of duty. We can only admire such bravery in the face of the horrific and certain end that awaited them.

wonderful music and video :)
My great great great aunt died supposedly on the titanic listening to this
The truly beautiful part starts at 1:06
Lyrics:
0:07,
Nearer, my God to thee, nearer to thee,
E'n though it be a cross, that raiseth me,
Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God to thee,
Nearer, my God to thee, nearer to thee.
1:07
Though, like the Wanderer, the sun gone down,
Darkness be over me, my rest like a stone.
Yet in my dreams I'll be, Nearer my God to thee,
Nearer my God to thee, nearer to thee.
2:14
Then with my walking thoughts, bright with thy praise,
Out of thy Stony grief, bethel I shall praise.
Then with my woes to be, Nearer my God to thee,
Nearer my God to thee, nearer to thee.
Gentlemen, it has been a privilege playing with you tonight

@miclu2011 - You're so welcome, miclu. Anyone who does such a lovely job SHOULD be lauded! ~0;-D
I hope this is the last sounds that I hear as I die and my soul leaves my body as I meet the Lord God.

Our mortal lives are but a moment, a brief interlude, from our birth to our passage into the ternal life and the welcoming arms of our Creator.
