Lyrics:
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,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee!
Still all my song shall be
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee!
Amen.

Christ the lord is risen hallelujah hallelujah mormon tabernacle choir is great. Praise our lord. I can listen to this all day. God bless choir and everyone .
Proud to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Music brings joy into my heart. I love this hymn so much. It will be played again and again and again at my funeral.
Even if we would close our eyes... the SOUND cleans and purifies our Spirit !
No doubts... God loves all these singers - His humble sons !
I am a Member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
I hope that everyone is having a strong positive blessed Sunday -And know that Heavenly Father & Our Savior Jesus Christ is always with us , for they will help us through many trials, troubles that we are , have been dealing with , unsure of how to handle them
And for Heavenly Father will forgive you of your sins in Our Saviors Name -- In the name of Jesus Christ AMEN...
You all have such beautiful singing voices, the sound of God himself.
Amen
Thank you I felt the Spirit when I read that
yes the band onboard the titanic played this song as they were sinking. my mother talked about it and sang the song that was written about the disaster. it is a most beautiful song.
This is a gift of God: to experience the sacred amidst the commonplace - to taste heaven in our daily bread, a new heaven and a new earth in a mouthful of water, joy in the ache of our muscle or the sweat of our brows.
Praise God for the wonderful song.
"Nearer, My God, to Thee" is one of my favorites !!!!!! Thank you so very much Mormon Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square for this message of hope to all believers. Gratefully, Robert S.J. Hu May 1, 2020.
I've never really cared for the other version of this song, I don't know how to describe it except for sounding more- tense. This version feels as peaceful as the hymn is supposed to be.
♡♡♡♡ SO SAD MAKES ♡♡♡♡
YOU CRY BUT
BUT LETS YOU
KNOW HOW
CLOSE YOU ARE
TO SEEING HIM
I LOVE THIS . . .
How wonderful!
Very touching..His name be praise.
. “ Enduring Faith “
From thy riven side which flowed, the love of a father,
who chose not to abandon his wayward flock,
but rather sacrifice his own to save.
Did he not leave the ninety nine to go in search of the lost one?
And great was the rejoicing when the soul thought forever lost stepped through the gates after all!
“ because He lives”
I'm agnostic...but I swear...if there was ever anything that could make me convert to Christianity, it'd be liturgical music. I don't know what the presence of Christ, or god, or whatever, would feel like, but these musical pieces fill me with what I can only describe as awe. It's like seeing the grand canyon but with my ears.
Glad you like the music. We invite you to listen and feel the Spirit of God.
Music is a gift from God. You can feel Him through it. Keep looking further into it. We (Christians) and Christ loves you, brother!
I would say, the spirit feels like true peace and comfort, follow that feeling onto a path that makes you the happiest, and thank you for sharing:)
What a marvelous description of listening to this hymn and choir. I've been to the Grand Canyon and I know exactly what you're saying and feeling. Don't look now but you're feeling the gentle Spirit!
God finds us in all kinds of different ways. I get closest to the divine through music, too. It’s my most frequent channel for prayer, faith, healing, and hope.
I know someone who passed away close away looking down with God and my family minding me
wunderschön!!
gorgeous!
Love the MTC!!!!
Absolutely
Please, do we have other anglican hymns as well
The Titanic was deemed unsinkable! At the last second before Titanic's Maiden Voyage, a woman decided not to board Her. when asked why? she replied that they were flying her in the face of God. so in those early hours in 1912, it didn't matter if you were rich, or poor. 1,500 people lost their lives. don't wait till it's too late. Seek the true God in life while you can. that's what's important.
My mother passed away on August 14th, 2017 and was laid to rest on August 19th, 2017. When my dad and I were sitting down with the pastor, this is the only hymn I could think of. It's a beautiful song, unfortunately not being trained vocalists, we didn't really do the song justice. Of course when I hear this song it now makes me cry......miss you mom.
Im sure she appreciated the efforts🤍
We sang the song at my dad's funeral I couldn't little busy crying, and we added it to the tomb stone also. Sorry for your lost
Be calm dear.
may her soul rest in peace
I'm sorry. Memory Eternal..
I’ve been going through a hard time recently, this song makes me feel the spirit so powerfully and fills me with such hope. Everything is going to be ok
I’m in the same situation as you and feel the same way. Thanks for your comment 🙏🏻
I hope you have started to feel peace in your life, one step at a time friend 🤍
Yes❤❤
I'm here in 2022 at age 25, and I already know this song must be played at my funeral. A soul-lifting and a song of hope.
Me too
me too, but for me in spanish , im from mexico
A little advice from an old man: 1, Do everything! 2. Worry about nothing.
3. Dance and laugh every day. 4. Keep yourself alive until retirement age: it's the most unimaginable freedom.
Brings tears to my eyes.
'Gentlemen, it was a great privilege playing with you all. Goodluck.'
That scene still makes me cry😢
One of the most beautiful hymns ever written. A very moving piece. It brings me to tears.
RIP to all the souls we lost onboard R.M.S. Titanic, 110 years ago. May you all rest in peace and go with God.
For all the people who died during the WTC bombing, my parents, grandparents and brother. RIP.
Oh my!! God bless your precious heart ❤️, and your dear family!!
This song brings me some comfort in my struggles with mental health...
I understand
When my time reaches to return home, I pray the angels to welcome me with this masterpiece 😢🥺🥺
One of the most beautiful & moving Christian hymns I've ever heard --!!
Listening to this choir make me feel safe and secure. Thank you all.
Sounds like a lullaby to me. 🙂
Those french horns....just simply majestic
My Dad died this morning in Cebu, Philippines! He lived a great life, served the Lord to the best of his abilities especially as a Patriarch and a Sealer! I am so sad that I can't go to pay my last respects, yet the knowledge of the gospel truly helps my soul to calm down!
May he rest in peace as he await a joyous resurrection
He would be proud of you my friend.
They played this song at my Grandmothers funeral per her request in her will. Still brings tears to my eyes.
I wish everyone can hear this with open hearts, whether you believe in God or not. It is beatiful, soothing and uplifting. Why do some of you have to add hate. We have freedom of religion. What is wrong with live and let live. Truly...why do you have to be so negative. I don't search you out to hurt you. There is beauty everywhere, why can't you see it and be content. I am so frustrated.
yg
Heavens angels must sound like this! Totally makes you closer to God with these amazing voices in praise to Him! Just so beautiful!!
There are those that by knowing the what this hymn is and has done for generations that have past and for generations to come,who were and will be cosoled- in the face of Today's world condition of despaired humanity; may only be convinced that faith in God is Only the remedy and hope for its only survival is for GOD TO BE NEARER TO humans whose days are numbered.Thank Mormons for keeping the Candle alight in the darkest of despair.
God bless you and your message through you world wide know Choir. (Dr George N Malek)
Yes.
I’m a big fan of this choir
And I’d love to become a church member, seems nice
It just has the right feel to it
Yo I welcome you!
I love this hymn, feels the soul with the Spirit of God.
Interesting fact it was the look last song The band on the Titanic played. Maybe more sincerely but not as magnificent as this version
If this is heaven, I hope I get there. How can you hear this and not cry?
Amen brother
Absolutely right Nicholas makes me cry every time
Mickey Mouse
Dear Nicholas, There is indeed a heaven. But, my friend, hoping alone will not get you there. There is but one way, and one way only to heaven. His Name is Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus tells us in John's Gospel, Chapter 14, verse 6: "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father but by me." (John 14:6).And... "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:12).So, how do we get to heaven through Jesus Christ?Jesus Himself tells us: 1. Repent of our sins against God: "Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." (Luke 13:3).2. Call upon His Name; Ask Him to save you, forgive you of your sins: "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13).3. Live for, serve, and worship Jesus Christ only 'til the end of your days: "But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." (Matthew 24:13).If you have more questions about heaven and how to get there, please email me at leather1@gmail.comIn Christ,/s/Scott L. Adkins
hi there .I am glad you want to go to heaven. its simple just trust the gospel with your heart. here is the gospel which will get you into heaven. ua-cam.com/video/lbb4xwYj19g/v-deo.html
I told my wife that during my funeral, this music must be played together with Ave Maria.
This brings me to tears when I hear this,and cry uncontrollably all the time
To me tears are the signs the Holy Spirit is near. 12/2/23 Singapore
I wish to thank you for sharing this awesome Christian Hymn video with me .
I'm mormen I just got babtise
This will be played at my funeral. I love this song
I understand the feeling brother.
What good comments listed. There are few words to convey the peace, talent and spirituality this group of musicians can bring to us. I am an LDS convert. I don't think of the Titanic but a little country church sitting among the beautiful hills of Ohio. I can still see the trees out the windows and feel the ages pass. What a composer. What a conductor. And what heavenly voices. God is good.
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.
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.
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
There let the way appear, steps unto heav'n;
All that Thou sendest me, in mercy given;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee.
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
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.
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
Instrumental
Or, if on joyful wing cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I'll fly,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee.
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
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.
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
Thanks for sharing the lyrics. 12/2/23 Singapore
Every single time i Hear this song i remembere to my beloved mother who died by cancer last year (21.11.2014).
And i remembered and miss how she played this very beautiful Hymn sundays at church, and i loved it how she played it .
Bit in the end of the day i know i see her soon again, if i die. Caise i kow that , Redeemer lives
I feel the power of Holy Spirit is with me when I hear this so g I feel uplifted GB This Choir
+Brandon Süß wenn ich überhaupt den tabernacel Chor höre fühle ich mich dem himmel nahe
+Brandon Suess Dear brother My dad passed away on 12/10/2012 and like you I still remember precious moments with him. I love the part of hymn that says then with my waking breath bright with thy praise. Oh glorious day when we shall see our beautiful redeemer. May God pour out his peace upon you.
I am so sorry for your loss. I am glad the music comforts you. God bless.
+Brandon Suess and all, this hymn was a favorite of my great-grandmother. It was played as prelude/processional at her funeral. Every time I hear this hymn, I can't help remembering wheeling her casket into the chapel as the organist played this beautiful hymn (I was a pall bearer). That was more than 30 years ago.
This Choir is the GREATEST CHOIR on the face of this earth. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU!
Sometimes, i wonder why hymns like this aren't just recorded acapella, because that's the best part, in this case.
I cried each time I encounter this hymn. I am a hymn person and this particular hymn is one of my favorite. We should all desire to be nearer to Jesus Christ. Halleluyah. This choir has a sound from heaven. I feel the spirit of God moving as I listen. Glory to God. I can't stop listen.
I love this song, it gives me the chills . When my aunt and cousin passed we sang this song at church and it reminds me of them. Every time to listen to the Tabernacle choir I get a feeling I am in heaven.
This beautiful hymn is my favorite to play at the beginning and end of each blessed day!
This must be the hymn or theme, even we enter the kingdom of heaven and meet our beloved ones 🎵🕯❤️Peace on Earth and Merry Christmas from Denmark 🇩🇰🕯
Who all think we are in end times?Jesus is gonna come soon.
VEN JESUS DEL CIELO CON PODER Y VIRTUD. TE ESPERAMOS CON ANCIAS Y ANHELO. DESDE CHILE....ANTONELLA DI VANNI DI BIAGGIO
Ex mormon but will never not respect the sheer beauty of this choir
Beautiful and so spiritually moving. Nearer my God, to Thee - this is my prayer.
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir is the greatest and most spiritual choir con al Earth. They are inspired by God and they make us feel the Holy Spirit in a very good way.
I image Heaven's choir to be like this but with billions more people singing and. with beautiful sounds yet unheard. Perhaps we'll all have beautiful voices and we'll all be dingo,g.
Singing
@@Angelina-ru8ww o
YO OPINO LO MISMO QUE USTED. DESDE CHILE....BIANCA ANTONELLA DI VANNI DI BIAGGIO.
Not my religion, but it's beautiful. The choir, the hymn, the people, like myself, love the music and its harmonies.
Every time I hear this song I can't help but picture the final scene from Titanic where the string quartet plays this as the boat sinks.
Nicole MacDowell I thought of Titanic too.
this is a perfection.. goosebumps. ! ❤️
It's been years, yet it feels like yesterday.
Thank you
In this time of world wide trials and tribulations, THIS is what keeps my spirits high, gives me hope, joy, and a profound sense of calm knowing that the Saviour is watching over us all. Keeping ourselves centred on what matters most...our Lord! Helps us be at peace when this world is in turmoil. We steer our own boats but as long as we keep the Lord in our lives to navigate when the storms of life rock our vessels, we will be alright no matter what happens.
Amen.
My Gosh! The most Holly and blessed music worshiping god is SO beautiful! It puts my heart at such an elevated mood, that I cannot express in words! Thank you’ll from the bottom of my heart!
Hello from the Southern Baptists in the South of USA.
HELLO TO YOU FROM A LATTER DAY SAINT IN NORWAY.
Please may I dedicate this to my parents in loving memory Albert and Muriel.Never forgotten.
Always in our hearts.
great

Several years ago I had the honor to attend a rehearsal at the Tabernacle in Salt Lake City. A moving experience reminding me of the joys of loving Christ. As one who plays a French Horn, the Horn parts in this piece are simply fantastic! God bless!
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,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee!
Still all my song shall be
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee!
Amen.
This song made me reflect on my life. Life is short! The glorious place awaits us all....
always remind me of titanic.....
One day while I was walking around my campus, a far off church played this on its bells...for whatever reason it profoundly effected me thinking of the Titanic. Beautiful beautiful song.
Rusila Divere As well it should, Rusila. This was the last music the passengers heard from Mr. Hartley's orchestra as the ship went down. He assembled his musicians on deck, played a few cheerful rags whilst the ship was still fairly stable. As she took her angled plunge to the depths, Hartley played his as his final song. Interestingly, Hartley's violin was recovered from the ocean.
It reminds me of Titanic and, I can't believe I'm about to say this...
9/11.
Bill Lawton Most excellent and interesting comment/post. Thank you for sharing this information. Respectfully, Martha
grrrrr you remind titanic goes to entrance scene
I love listening to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and often the music is so beautiful and my heart is so full, I cry. I sing in our ward choir and wish I was as good as the Tabernacle singers. I never grow tired of listening to them and would love to go to Salt Lake to see them in reality
I am no Mormon and I am not too keen on the USA but I too would gladly go to Salt Lake to see and hear this wonderful music for real.
God is good! You can feel it in this song.
thank you
I hear this song and it makes me cry and at the same time it lifts by soul.
Gentlemen, it was an honor playing with you tonight.
Jesus paid the sin debt for all mankind, by dying on the cross and shedding his precious blood. the spotless lamb of God.For God so loved the world that he gave his Only begotten son, that we may have eternal life. Jesus said I am the Way, the Truth and the Life and no man comes to the Father,but by me.Jhn 14:6
This is one of my all time favourite hymns ...I find peace when I hear it sung especially when I hear it sung by this choir.
I love this hymn. It is one of those many which touches my heart deeply.
I think of the Titanic and all of the sweet souls lost.
I believe that one's faith and connection with a "higher power" (for many that HP is "God" or the equivalent title in the person's native language and faith) is entirely personal and subject only to the review of the person and his or her version of God or whomever she or he envisions. Any religion is only a method of assisting that connection. And, for some people they may not feel, need, or practice that connection ... so be it. But, the music, the art, the method of connection are real to the participants. This hymn and the performance and dedication of the performers exemplify their attempt to connect with their audience ...their fellow faithful colleagues.
The first time I visited St. Paul's in London, I had reinforced and was swept away by the realization that men and women can recognize, appreciate, and practice something greater than oneself. The specific religion is unimportant to me. All religions practice and advocate, essentially, the same values and objectives. Some are more tolerant of other faiths and some are not. For me, tolerance is virtually important. For each woman and man seeks to embrace and adopt the cooperation and the "get along" with their fellows regardless of the specific faith they practice.
Let us enjoy and feel more fulfilled as human beings as we enjoy the performance by The Tabernacle Choir.
Thank you so much for posting
I still think the choir, musicians of the Mormon Tabernacle are the finest in the world.
I have heard many, but to me the MT folks do a wonderful job in praising HIM.
Merry Christmas and a Joyful NY
Pax to one and all!
A very beautiful song. Very well sung. Thanks for posting it.
Gentlemen, it’s been a privilege playing with you tonight
This song reminds me of my late mother whom I lost 3 yrs ago. She did love this song a lot.
This song always give me a piece..and soul
I'm ateu, i dont have faith, but is the most beautiful music
I SANG this song, Nearer my God to there in 2015, at my father's funeral 😣 It was extremely hard. Love you dad
It looks like when we will meet our Lord Jesus,singing songs of praise forever. Love you guys.
There is no words to express the message of this song. The arrangement and the beauty of the brass ensemble is just amazing. This hymn blessed my soul and make me give thanks to GOD for the beauty of the music.
**** Soy católico ,pero CRISTO es quien me gobierna***
de norte a sur y de oriente a poniente,
ALABADO SEAS MI SEÑOR JESÚS POR TODA LA ETERNIDAD ....
I was first acquainted with the choir when I was a child 70 years ago. I have always loved them, and their voices (to me) are the voices of angels.
This makes me even more grateful for my faith than ever,I want to be nearer to my God
Reminds me of the Titanic sinking. Rest in peace to all those who lost their lives.
Thank you Mormon Tabernacle Choir.This music uplifted my soul. l love this Hymn.Surely with this hymn the message which God conferred to the Prophet Joseph Smith that Peace be unto thine soul for thy afflictions shall be but for a small moment comes into practicality especially with modern day challenges
You’re welcome
As a Christian constantly hear other v
Christians criticize Mormans. Really do not understand. Jesus did not preachers or lead his life in that way. This is awesome inspiring.
Pray for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
Rest in peace all those who went down with the Titanic
It isa heart warming song. You wouldn't like to stop listening to it. But it is like you are on your trip to heaven , nicely...!
2019년의 1월1일의 아침해가 솟아 올랐습니다. 주위에 있는 구름을 핑크색으로 아름답게 물들이면서 말입니다, 우리도 금년에는 이웃들에게 빛과 따스함을 나누는 한해가 되도록
노력 해 보십시다.
Wonderful. One day, before I die, I hope to listen those wonderful voices live! One day I will be there at the temple square praising the Lord!
+Andre Cavalcanti Where do you live? The Choir will be in Europe in 2016 maybe you will hear them there.
+Renate Killian where? Please help me with the places and the exact dates. I would surprise my mom . She is mormon too
+Andre Cavalcanti the choire is coming to zürich
+Renate Killian My darling, I live in Brazil. And, the amount I earn at my job it's not enough to travel so far. Things like this it's not so much appreciated by the most of the people from here, this is not the kind of song they like to hear. Sometimes they come to Brazil, but only to São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro and I live in Recife almost nothing about culture comes to show here. For example, speak , write or read in english it's no a common thing around here. But, thanks for the notice! And Sorry about my english.

This is a Christian’s fervent prayer and plea, and that our lives may be worthy of His presence, and the choir renders this prayer perfectly.
What is it about human beings? They can do things like this and move our very souls and yet they can still threaten to murder one another, generating their own version of hatred across the world. This is the good...no great ...part of human beings, when their voices can move our very souls. As they did for me here. Lovely.
Thats because my friend, things like this DONT come from human beings =P
I can't offer an explanation, but we are different. Genetic makeup? Family and environmental background? As long as Good triumphs over Evil we will prevail. Just do your best at being a good person.
