  • Historically big ship disasters seem to prelude the bigger fall of nations, empires and cultures. Titanic preluded WWI. Costa Concordia preludes and foretells how the reckless governing of the West, will bring it's destruction as a dominating World Power.

  • this was most likely the last song the titanic band played while it was sinking

  • Heavenly beautiful.

  • The devil made​20 accounts and clic don't like it.

  • nice here the titanic song

  • just simply beautiful!

  • i know im only 14 and havent even met the best or worst experiences in life, but this should be played at my funeral !

  • 19 people were watching the movie Titanic and cried hearing this song.

  • @jackwolf131 Wrong crowd to try this on, bro.

  • I love and miss hymns like this, and I also miss intelligent people who neither quibble nor argue intensely and rashly to display their own foolishness for the whole world to see (oh wait, those people are nothing new). It's sad, but I love the song. Thank you for posting this.

  • Wow why are people arguing?

  • I want to sing this when the world is ending ...

  • I used to sing this with my grandmother when I was younger.When she passed about 4 years ago, I sung it at her funeral aswell. Couldn't have been a better song!

  • had to sing this in chapell

  • Thank you for posting my favourite song! God bless your ministry!

  • beautiful and emotional

  • Everytime I listen to this I feel relaxed & I feel like im in church.

    I just uploaded this video of me playing this song check it out :)

  • I guess you need to go some beaches during dusk to get nearer to God.

  • To mohameed136.. Please don't sell your moha mmed and I Slam in here. Nobody visiting this site need your "immoral and barbarian from the origin", I Slam preaching.

    I would ask you politely not to comment on these videos as the civilized people from the west knows the real God and don't need mohammad's perverted self made fairy tales about God.

    The Abraham, Jesus etc. in your Koran has nothing to do with the Abraham , Jesus etc from Bible. Mohammed is historically immoral person.

  • No disrespect to this beautiful song, by I found this through a Mass Effect story on Fanfic by the same name. It was very humbling, and I'd just like to share that. Thanks.

  • MANITA ARRIBA SI LO ESTAS VIENDO EN EL CANAL 7 ! AHORA MISMO !!!!!

  • I can't lead this in Worship service without crying.

  • Gentlemen, Its been an Honour playing with you

  • Oh foolish manfind when doudt clouded your mind you lost your path. I AM STILL HERE WAITING. sayth the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY. have FAITH BETTER YET FIND IT ONCE AGAIN. its never to late .?????

  • very nice songs, its a comforting songs,when you feel alone, rejected of love, hurted, blamed for something you have not done, when someone miss care for you, NEAR GOD IS BEST REFUGE.

  • Fun fact, this wasn't actually the last song played on the Titanic. That was a myth perpetuated later by people who wanted a spiritual ring to the death of those people on board AND because the idea of a pop song being played - which indeed it was, the song being Song D'Automne - was unpleasant to people who wanted the song to have a "deeper" meaning. The orchestra was trying to keep people calm. A hymn would make them more distressed, whereas a pop song would be more appropriate :)

  • titanic... ):

  • YES!

  • Love this song

  • This song is so strong and it is so touching. I felt that God was nearer to me. Thank you for uploading this video, the pictures match so much. :)

  • Interesting fact about this song: Ted Turner said, on the founding of CNN, that the network would be on the air until the end of the world. It would be aired live on CNN, and they would play "Nearer My God To Thee"

  • Not waxing scientificly, as much as I would truly love to, any suggestions for a classical piece that would embed itself nicely into this magnificent hymn?

  • I guess we probably ought to tell the guy who built an exact replica of Noah's arc that it can't be done.

  • @erikasnipples Yet all the galaxies we've measured have the same temperature of 2.725 K. This makes no sense as the heat should not have had time in the 13.7 billion years the universe has existed isnt enough time for the temperature to balance out in the way that it has. This is just one problem. So Every theory has its impossibilites even the scientific ones.

  • Comment removed

  • @erikasnipples Okay what about the impossibilites with the big bang theory, the fact that information cannot travel faster than the speed of light. This means that two galaxies that our 10 billion light years away from us, one to the the east and one to the west would not have had time to exchange information as they are 20 billion light years apart. For example heat spreads into cool to give a balanced temperature we'd expect these galaxies to have vastly different temperatures

  • Sang this song several times to my mom in her last days while lying on bed four months ago. And when she slept, the song brirngs both peace and pain in heart. God bless us all, His word is true and real more than ever to me.

  • I can't picture the 13 people who disliked this.

  • @D7st I'm not a religious person by ANY means. However, I am a fairly accomplished musician. THIS music gives me chills. The arrangement, if nothing else, is absolutely incredible. People that don't like this, are musically ignorant, or atheists trying to prove a point.

  • @gund2281 Exactly my thinking...I apologize to anybody who took that as religious bigotry-I was referring to the musical aspect of it. "Erikasnipples" may feel the need to express his religious beliefs in a boisterous and rude manner but I hope that people like him don't let their religious beliefs stop them from enjoying music like this

  • Awwwww, isn't that beautiful music! Some of you christians need to wake the fuck up and realize the bible is full of contradictions and completely unbelievable stories. Its ridiculous.

  • @1John2v27isatan if possible place yourself on the titanic with no hope of rescue for you

  • @1John2v27isatan It is beautiful,I am awake and when you take your last breath,Jesus will be there.

  • @1John2v27isatan so are all scientific theories. Even they take a little faith to believe in if you actually read into them. No scientific theory is 100% proven as this would be absolute proof. There is no way of telling 100% that our whole science isnt based on a flawed system. For example why can both quantum mechanics and relativity explain the universe but contradict each other. However good a theory is there is always a possibility a better one will be devoloped.

  • This is a wonderful song for the Titanic and for the people onboard the Titanic. So beautiful. Rest in peace.

  • Beautiful. God bless us all.

  • beautiful ...

  • I listened so many tunes of this beautiful song "Nearer, My God, to Thee" but I voted this as one of the best I heard. Thanks for uploading this video...

  • there must be a dozen or so versions of this in English & German on this site. I like this one best

  • It's sad that most people watching this only know it from titanic. I grew up singing this. Tis beautiful.

  • @violinartist1 Hipster, hehehe

  • @violinartist1 why wouldnt you want more people to know about it? its a hymm, not underground punk song.

  • @violinartist1 but so you think you are so good. and so tell me what's wrong to know a song just via a movie, truly a beautiful movie.well anyway i'm among those that you mentioned

  • @violinartist1 they played this at my great grandmas funeral

  • My grandfather used to play this on the piano for me when I stayed with him. Thank you for posting.

  • 666 likes, hahaha

  • @vdias maybe there is hope for even you? hahaha

  • death is just part of life the sooner we accept it the sooner we can enjoy our lives... dont be afraid of death it is just the begining....

  • watch this version of "Nearer", performed by my Choir Viva Vox.. I hope you'll like it.

    Viva Vox Choir -- Nearer My God To Thee (ORIGINAL)

  • this is music!

  • I'm not religous, but it is so moving ...

  • I will sometimes catch myself whistling this. I guess I just get closer to God every day. :)

  • of all the versions of this on You Tube this is my favorite. Maybe the 6 who didn't like it just don't like the version.

  • 6 people are anarchist assholes. anyone else?

  • Esta cancion me la dedico a mi mismo, por todos el sufrimiento inutil que tuve. Hasta parece que soy un condenado

  • Beutiful!

    

  • Definately one of my favourite gosepl songs ! :D

  • Excellent Video. truly inspirational! Thanks for the posting.

  • Danke Herr....Danke........

  • absolutely beautiful arrangement of this. Listened to it 10 times already.

  • amazing song:)

  • May the people who perished on the Titanic Rest in peace

  • BEAUTIFUL

  • "He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen"

    [Revelation 22:20-21 - KJV]

    May 21, 2011 will be the rapture and first day of day of judgment.

  • @igregmart Let's check back in on the 22nd and see the validity of your statement.

  • @ddog4z ..."So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect Him."

  • @tcalcut Well, so far I've survived over 20 end of the world predictions, so I'm feeling pretty good. While you worry about something you have 0 proof of existence for, I'll enjoy my life.

  • @ddog4z ..."So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect Him."

  • Comment removed

  • @igregmart loooooooooooooooooool

  • Congratulations sesamonte, this is just beautiful. God Bless. Cheers from Venezuela

  • Peace beyond all understanding :)

  • sesamonte, I've been listening to various clips of hymns on youtube. i have to say yours are the best out of the offerings. these versions do the best to bring out the sanctity and holiness of which said hymns are built from.

  • Thank you very much for posting these scriptural and beautifully arranged hymns. Colossians 3:16 talks of how we should sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with grace in our hearts to the Lord and these enable me to do so. Also the beginning of the verse talks about having the word of Christ dwell in our hearts richly. These songs make me want to run to His Word for grace (2 Pet 1:2, Acts 20:32). Thank you!

  • LOVE IT--(the song that is)

  • LOVE IT

  • Every time when my spirit is low, I listen to this song and feel the wave of peace and love to heal my heart. The song is beautiful and the harmony of the voices is just perfect.

  • I'm not religious in any way shape or form but it is a lovely piece of music

  • @Ashers6921 ...When Jesus saw that he had answered wisely, he said to him, "You are not far from

    the kingdom of God."

  • great. ty

  • cand urmezi un drum care sti ca intr-o zi se infunda sa sti ca mereu acel drum este un drum fara intoarcere,mergi inainte fara sa dai inapoi caci in cea ce crezi cu adevarat acea vei dobandi,mergi pe un drum plin de iubire si nu lasa sa te doboare un vant,de urmezi un vis,vei primi un vis,dar realitatea este sa fi ca o piatra fara sa cauti o amagire si doar o incredere deplina

  • @tompilica23 ...",Ştiu faptele tale: iată ţi-am pus înainte o uşă deschisă, pe care nimeni n'o poate închide, căci ai puţină putere, şi ai păzit Cuvîntul Meu, şi n'ai tăgăduit Numele Meu."

  • This will be the 3rd anthem at my mum-in-laws funeral today!

    Thankyou Jesus for all you have done for us. Our Saviour and Our G-d!

    Our Awesome G-d!

  • This is a darn fine hymn. Praise Jesus!

  • this song always makes me dry and i feel close to my heavenly father i feel the spirit all around me and i feel peace : )

  • He will never leave you or forsake you. He forsook His only Son, because of your sins, all of the world's sin was pinned at the cross, and Jesus Christ was crucified for your sake. So that if you believe, you will have Salvation. How great is the Lord our God. Believe in Him and take Jesus Christ as your Savior. God will never pass away, but this world will pass away. He is calling man to repent and to believe the message of salvation so that they may not die, but everlasting life.

  • If you give your life to God, and believe in the name of Jesus Christ, that He died for you, repent of your sins, and take Jesus as your Savior. You will be saved when you believe. And you shall be with Him, and He will be your God forever. No more will death ever be near. No more tears. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, forsake your own life and follow Him. He will give you everything you never knew. Your eyes will open, and you will see the truth. Truly you will know joy and salvation.

  • @adaneth Well that was a beautiful comment.

  • I'm a guy, and yet this song makes me cry everytime

  • @MrAnalplunger 80% of homophobes are gay...

  • @TedTurnersGhost 100% of guys that cry are gay

  • @MrAnalplunger You really must be stupid. How do you know that the other person isn't crying because the song reminds them of someone they lost. So you're telling me if your parents, wife, or children die, crying over them would make you gay? If you really think that, then you are scum.

  • 100% of people who post shit like that are going out of their way to look like a dick. job well done sir!

  • @Viennaschannel I'm gonna queef in your mouth

  • @MrAnalplunger ..."Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him."

  • @DanTheMan33088 Oh, how sweet you are, me too. It 's so beautiful and I feel so much peace when I listen to this video and so Near to God.

  • thank you Lord for the gift of life

  • i dont no what i believe in

  • Very touching hymn, specially in our trying times, it brings out the emotions, and brings us nearer to God.Love the song...

  • Este video se lo dedico a las todos los caidos en japon y que dios guarde mi Pais de algo asi se que nos merecemos esto y mas pero señor ten misericordia de nosotros.

  • @jhonmeloestrella sinceramente no entiendo como pensais los cristianos,si yo creyera en dios me plantearia seriamente si nosomos los hijos indeseados de Dios, Tienes que tener en cuenta la posibilidad de no caerle bien a Dios, él nunca quiso tenerte. Con toda probabilidad él te odia, pero no es lo peor que pueda ocurrirte. ¡¡No lo necesitamos!! Que se jodan la maldición y la redención, somos hijos no deseados de Dios, así sea

  • I've been a christian for first 19 years of my life. I've sung this song in my native language so many times. I havent been happier since Im an atheist.

    But damn... I miss the hymns... :(

  • @VC106893 ..."Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool."

  • @tcalcut Lol, you're just randomly quoting passages?

    bugger off please...

  • @VC106893 ..."If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His Father's glory with the holy angels."

  • @tcalcut Dude, Im an atheist... Bugger off with your sentimental crap. If I wanted it I wouldnt have left christianity in the first place...

  • @VC106893 ..."When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart."

  • @VC106893 what is atheism?

  • @VC106893 what is atheism? you can't leave it once ur already baptized as a newborn. its just a stupid cult

  • jesus loves you

  • @The007sanjeev JESUSE HEAT YOU BECUSE YOU WORSHIP HIM WITHOUT RESSON I SWEAR TO THE GOD WE HAVE 1 GOD I SWEAR !!!!!!!! I WANT GAVE BOTH OF YOU SOME EXAMPLE,S >>... IF YOU ARE KING AND U R SO "Strong" AND U WELL NEVER BE DEAD AND U HAVE MANNY OF SULDIARS HAW CAN U HAVE A SON FORGIT THE "Human instinct" HAW COULD U HAVE AND HE NEVER SAY (I HAVE SON OR LIKE THAT ) WHIN U RED IT IN UR BIPLE NOT ALL OF IT "Distorted" BUT IT HAVE SOME OF IT DISTORTED

    TO BE CONTENUD ...

  • @mohameed136 what are you 3. You all are fools the true good is from Mars or Venis, cant remember off hand. Your god is going to eat you when he comes....your talk sounds just as crazy dont judge....

  • Comment removed

  • The most amazing thing about the Jesus is that He uses the weak to lead the strong. How He does things is different from how the world does it. So you say we are fools, but to believe in an everlasting agape love Jesus is wiser that to believe Mars and Venus. It is very peculiar that you choose to worship the creation and not the Creator. Jesus said, "The only way to the Father is through Me." Jesus is called the Narrow Door. You must walk (believe) in Him to get to the Father.

  • Where is the Father? He is in Heaven. So Jesus is saying, "The only way to Heaven is through Me." When Jesus comes again, He will take his Home with Him. At the end of all days, you will be seated on the Mercy Seat where you will be judged according to what you have done in life. From there you will be assigned your eternal home. Will it be 'h'ome or 'H'ome? I will be praying for you draginjim.

  • @agapeJesus808 I am an atheist but I'm not going to argue with you, and I like this Hymn quite a lot, don't go thinking we are all bigots, some of us just have different beliefs. I'm not judging you for yours.

  • @owennerd88 Bless you.... If you have it in your heart then you have it in your heart. Take care.

  • @owennerd88 Jesus says: He who rejects me and does not recieve my sayings has a judge;the word I have spoken will be his judge on the last day. John 12:48

  • @The007sanjeev LIKE EXAMPLE HE NEVER He says I have a son or a woman .... BECUSE he is GOD (AND The GOD of the qualities should not be created that comes) because IT will reflect on the weakness and insulted FOR HIM

    TO BE CONTENUD ...

  • @The007sanjeev Let me give you another example to understand what I am telling you Example of this (you now When you make a car you will make the car LIKE UR SOUL ???!! I mean YOU WELL LET IT marry and have sons and so on of human characteristics??!! The answer that you would say to me, of course not >I WELL tell you why not>> U WELL tell me because I am human and I have a sense of this car just help me TO GO TO SOME WHERE ...

    TO BE CONTENUD..

  • @The007sanjeev soo the god he well not pleased as well to give the qualities of a weak slave because he is god and you are slave .... Now, do u understand wat i say to u ? soo and the god , remembir thes word "gave us some times , but he never let us loss our self

    soo the god is one and the Prophet Jesus he in quran praised Mrs. Mary and the Prophet peace be upon them blessings and peace we talk to hem a good things

    the final prophet mohammed peace be upon him he love all prophets

  • @The007sanjeev and the prophet mohammed he is a Seal of the Messengers

  • @The007sanjeev so haw could u Challenge the prophet and he sent from the god to say to the jinn before Humans " i bear witness that there is no God but Allah alone with no partner and I bear witness that Mohammad slave of Allah and His Messenger, and I bear witness that jeseus slave og Allah and His Messenger, and he the words to gave to Mary and a spirit of the Allah, and I bear witness that havean is true, and Hell is true, and that the Day of Resurrection is true "

  • @mohameed136

    Your prophet is the lying [FALSE PROPHET] spoken of in The Book of Revelation; the last book in the New testament. It's not you against us or us against you what God is about. It's that you understand His Truth, Love & Justice. You kill your own daughters to earn false honor.That's against God [THE TRUTH] which you hate so much. God didn't say kill your flesh & blood and judge others, but judge yourself. So when you Muslims men fornicate, kill yourselves first & go bye bye okay?

  • @HEAVENLYFATHER3000 God Loves all people of the earth even the fallen ones and the lost ones. He has set in motion the return of Jesus christ our redeemer to save all those who love Jesus. He wants us to love even our enemies and those of all walks of live regardless. If we cannot obey this we are not living in the truth of his word. Bless Mohameed136 and love him... donot spite him. Love to you and may the lord bless you always.

  • @micklo1

    You're 100% right; bless ALL THE DEMONIC FORCES INCLUDING BIN LADDIN, SADDAM, QADDAFI, AND..HITLER, AND ALL THE FALSE PROPHETS & NAME THEM ALL, but I am not so sure about loving demonic forces

  • @HEAVENLYFATHER3000 Right are he who walks in the light and abides by his word. This is satins world... he uses those who are in the dark and forsake the Son and Father. "Forgive them Father for they do not know what they do". These men are not Satin himself but are merely slaves and puppets. The demons work through our love one also..... this is their world. Glory, Power, and Praise to the Lord God and his son Jesus forever and forever!!

  • @micklo1 So what you say in a cryptic way, all non belevers will go to hell to play with Satan? And 1 thing more, are you a priest or anything like that? Scaring people with a Redeemer and all that kind of stuff, don't, it doesn't make earth a better place. (NB. Read Charles Darwins book, might help you understand non-believers.)

  • @julessmit223 There is nothing Cryptic about the word of God. The only word I need is from Jesus Christ. Praise, Power, and Glory to the Lord In Jesus name. 

  • @The007sanjeev og = of*

  • @The007sanjeev and remimper The God created Adam, like Jesus, peace be upon them, but the difference is that Adam had no father and mother but Jesus has no father but he have mother soo This will be the end of the Christian religion, which distorted the word of God hundreds of years and you do not know something

    contenud

  • @The007sanjeev only you use the menu simmering emotions without thinking

    ok every one of us has the faith and cry when it comes to prayer ... But God commanded us to control the minds because he said that was and you are not the true religion will hereafter graduated, and I sent to you, O jinn and mankind prophets, but you you follow Satan and you leave the last prophet mohammed and he is be sent to u to help u but u r a stupid u follow ur a bad things and satan he tell u a bad things to ..

  • @The007sanjeev .. TO PROPHET MOHAMMED BECUSE HE IS A " Seal of the Messengers "

    SOO CONTROL UR MIND AND THE ISLAM HE MEANS IN ENGLISH "PEACE" BUT AMERICA AND ALL THE CONTRIES WHIN THEY BE Against

    TO ISLAM >>> ASKE UR SELF WHY THEY DO THAT TO ISLAM THE ONLY RELIGION BECUSE THEY KNOW THE ISLAM HE IS THE ONLY TRUE RELIGION TO MAKE YOU IN HAVEAN AND THEY WANT DO BAD THINGS TO ISLAM LIKE 9/11 AND ALL OF MUSLIMS THEY DONT LIKE OSAMA BECUSE HE NEVER DO WHAT THE PROPHET WHANT

  • @The007sanjeev AND AMERICA ITS A BAD CONTRI BECUS HEHEHE IT WORK WITH OSAMA

  • @The007sanjeev THINK WAT I TULDE U

    BYE

  • @mohameed136 Bless you Brother. Love your Brother and sisters always. Jesus the redeemer will come soon.

  • vay amına koyim

  • This song was composed by Sir Arthur Sullivan who is one of my great great grandfathers :)

  • If I could only chose on song to sing before I die... I would chose this one.

  • I guess 5 people are incapable of recognizing excellent music and the natural beauty of the world. I say this because I'm Jewish and this song and video STILL make me cry.

  • i can now imagine on how was it like to hear this song on the Titanic

  • In Poland ---- Być Bliżej Ciebie Chcę

  • thee means "vos" in old English, but it can also be "tu". :)

  • can anyone translate "thee" to spanish??

    Great song =)

  • @martintox222

    thee is an old english for thou which is an old english for you!, so to translate to spanish i think you should use "TU"

  • how could anyone dislike this

  • Sad ;((((((((( Titanic ;( <3

  • If there's one thing Mennonites can do, it's sing. Well, that and look awkward in public.

  • I was allowed to listen as a tune that sent mother's death.

    The mind became calm, and it was healed.

    Thank you.

  • Im sad the Titanic sunk. This is the last song they played. We miss you Titanic! :'(

  • im not a man of faith, always looked more to science then to religon. But this song has always touched my heart

  • I'm not sure why this song is sad(just the tune ?) what is it even about ?. it does sound a little pathetic but stan(by eminem) made me choke up a little when i heard it 1st, poor stan.

  • @SomeIrishGuy19 This song is very meaningful! You can search a little for the history of it! ("One night, some time after lying awake in the dark, eyes wide open, through the stillness in the house the melody came to me, and the next morning I wrote down the notes."Lowell Mason 1856 - composer of this melody)

    God bless you!

  • @SomeIrishGuy19 really y would u even compare this to the trash of eminem he does not sing real music he just talks fastly this is real music

  • @shane5530 Shane i'm sure you mean well but what you're saying is stupid. What is "Real music" how do you define that? is whistling music ? and anyway i said the song made me choke up it's about the lyrics the sound of the rain the backing vocals by dido. it's a great song and you should give it a listen. It's about the pitfalls of celebrity obsession taken to the extreme. open your mind my friend Things are always more complex than they appear or moreover than you would like them to be.
