  • Almighty God we commend the soul of our brother departed, and we commit his body to the deep; in sure and certain hope of the Resurrection unto eternal life, through our Lord Jesus Christ; at whose coming in glorious majesty to judge the world, the sea shall give up her dead; and the corruptible bodies of those who sleep in him shall be changed, and made like unto his glorious body; according to the mighty working whereby he is able to subdue all things unto himself.

  • @scottp2210 Thank you for the verses I think the war mongers should read this and maybe there might be peace

  • @pescepattate Whilst the division and sectarianism of religion exists there will be no peace.

  • @scaleop4 <3 <3 loves for you

  • This is really sad. Just yesterday, my i found out that my sixth grade administrator died from cancer. R.I.P. Mr. Rollings.

    He is in Heaven now :)

  • I'm a moslem, but I like this song LOL. I understand the feeling and emotion of its composer

    actually nearer my god to thee (instrument) comes after maher zain-insha allah

  • @utarioep Never forget, dear utarioep, that we Christians like you also believe in the one God, Creator of Heaven and Earth. The one God, Lord Almighty created us all and his name is not important. God bless you.

  • @nagoa214 ... 

  • @utarioep

    I agree. No matter what language, what backround, this is beautiful music and brings the world closer to piece. My your god be with you.

  • Musicians who died in the titanic tragedy played the song dell that with feeling captured the essence of death wrapped in his black robe and the cold and powerful hand stroking their souls The people who died that day were the greatest people that the world may never know how he should have ... The mother who sleeps with her​children to lose their fear of dying ... The greatest musicians in history and world's most noble gentleman..

  • @SorEros19 this was not the song played at the sinking of the titanic. it was just added for dramatical affect :( still a great peice

  • this is so beautiful i must cry

  • 8 pepole are dead

  • Wounderful,wounderful......The best!!!

  • why andré do it not man it is hard enough for me in a lifeboat and all the people seen starfing

  • How did funny faces bring me to this?

  • I would like burried with this song! :'-(

  • I'm glad the movie made that great old hymn popular with a new generation. Churches actually don't sing it much anymore. (I bet few modern Christians have ever sung it!) But its words are profound. It's a prayer to be closer to God ....no matter what it takes. Even "a cross".  It was a great song for that movie.

  • @Jeeves1952 This hymn is one of my favorites -- and I love Andre Rieu's version of it. Thankfully we sing it all the time at the LDS church (Mormons).

  • I was too young when i watched the movie 'Titanic' for the 1st time...i hardly knew anything about this music during that time...but it certainly made my eyes wet and it still does whenever i hear this music!

  • Comment removed

  • Quem diz que não gostou, não tem nem um pingo de sentimento. É, no mínimo, ateu !

  • my grandmother whas born the day that the titanic go under

  • I just teared... :'c

  • a perfect tribute to those whom lost their lives on the RMS Titanic

  • 'God is closer to man than his jugular vein'.

  • YES! At the end, I want to be "NEARER TO MY ONE AND ONLY GOD" who created heaven and earth!!!

  • @HopeIG That's not what the song's called, your comment has failed.

  • Outstanding!

  • One of the most beautful orchestrations of any piece ever.

  • What a modern Mozart André Rieu is. Also rest in piece Band Leader Wallace and the other members of the Titanic orchestra.

  • Beautiful!

  • plz play dis song at my funeral, it was an awesome song in the world..

  • @pradeep4187 lol, y u tell this to youtube and not ur family? ;)

  • He is a master with the violin. He plays it better than anyone else I know.

  • I believe u could found better picture of the compositor :)

  • Comment removed

  • This song was played on my dads funeral 5 months ago, he died of a heart attack at the age of 53, and im only 16, when they started playing it i thought i was gonna pass out.

  • @Resident4dogg

    My condolences. Wish you all good.

  • This coming April 14th-15th, The 100th Anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. Rest in peace.

  • R.I.P. US Economy 1787-2011

  • When I hear this song , think about all those people who passed away. And always dropping a tear.

  • This song reminds me of Titanic and that makes me really sad.

  • I can just imagine Andre Rieu on the deck of Titanic, playing with the water at his ankles and saying 'Gentlemun, it as been a priveluge playing wit you tonight'.

  • @plusplusplusplusp hASTA SE ME PUSO LA PEIL CHINITA, CUANDO LEÍ TU COMENTARIO

  • in hornor to the people who died on april the 14th 1912

  • Both of those saying this was the last song and that is was not are wrong. No one really knows what song the band members played as their last song. This is because all the survivors were in the lifeboats and they did not stick around long enough to hear it. And the 6 who were pulled from the water probably would not stop to listen. But speaking of the movie yes ladiegreensleeve is right this was the last song in the movie.

  • Gentleman, it has been a privilege to play with you.

  • that wasnt the last song who was played at the titanic... but yes in the film it was xD

  • @polarkreis201 it's been speculated as to have been in fact the last song played on the RMS Titanic (real life), several 1st class passengers claim that "nearer my god to thee" was the last song played by the band. but of course their is no way in which we could find out this is fact.

  • Gentlemen, it's been a honor playing with you tonight. Rest in peace all of the souls lost on the RMS TITANIC. April 15th, 1912

  • nie do opisania nuta 

  • to all those who floundered 4.15.12, God sing to thee. 

  • Das ist mein Herzenswunsch! Ein wunderschön!!!

    Eliane

  • Powerful ='(

  • Wonderfull piece!!!

  • this song is commonly used at funerals

  • I thought that it was Proprior Deo that was played on the Titanic

  • so so so cute

  • A wonderful piece of music, but not proved the last song on board the R.M.S. TITANIC! It´s a legend...*****

  • @squirell1952 your think of the launch date

  • Yeah, yeah, played on Titanic. But moreover, a beautiful hymn...

  • @squirell1952 99th actually lol. next year is the 100th. There doing a cruise for it.

  • mi slzy stekajú po tvári.

  • Very emotional but this was not the version of Nearer My God To Thee that was played on the deck of the Titanic.

  • beautiful, I love you God!

  • @squirell1952 what? No, the Titanic sank APRIL 15, 1912. It was the Titanic's 99th anniversary over a month ago.

  • Today, I took my 20 year old son and my elderly and frail mother to the Titanic exhibition at the Transport Museum at Cultra. This is not only the 100th anniversary of the Titanic's launch, but also the anniversary of the launch of her 'White Star Line' "Tender", Nomadic, which awaits full conservation at Hamilton dock in Belfast Harbour, Northern Ireland. My mother, son and I were amazed, moved and captivated by the artifacts and display pieces. Go and see it, history brought to life....

  • Esta cancion es tan bella. La pelicula Titanic tambien. La he visto como 100 veces jejeje

  • Thumbs up if you got here because you thought of the movie Titanic....:'[

  • this music will always belong to RMS Titanic... let them rest in peace forever...
