Nearer my god to thee (HQ) choir and strings by Daniel Westphal - A High quality version - i was asked by a friend to make an english version after my german one - so now this is my home made choir version of this hymn (Multitrack)

This was the last song played onboard the RMS Titanic on April, 15th 1912

English lyrics:

Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
Een 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 Id be 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 Ill raise;
So by my woes to be nearer, my God, to Thee.
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!

Or, if on joyful wing cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward Ill fly,
Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee.
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!

There in my Fathers home, safe and at rest,
There in my Saviors love, perfectly blest;
Age after age to be, nearer my God to Thee.
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!

  • cool effect in the begining, how did u make it look like old movie?

  • @thelostcomrad thanks - it is just an "old Film Filter" Effect. You can add this via a video tool like premiere Elements

  • dieses lied (so wie es vorgetragen ist) gibt mir sehr viel kraft! danke für deine schöne interpretation!!!

  • @hautkopf88 Gerne !

  • Es erfreut mich sehr, dass eine Gruppe Männer wieder mit Orchester begleitet werden und dass Diese Männer ihr ganzes Gefühl in diesen Text legen.

    Es hat mich tief bewegt, dieses Lied in diesem Stil hören zu dürfen.

  • @MrVergangenheit Danke für die Rückmeldung. Die Gruppe Männer bin ich allein und selbst ;D VG Daniel

  • I know this sound so stupid when people have lost family but I actually had a funeral for my hamster and I don't care what anyone says she got me through alot and this was her hymn when she died <3

  • Thank you for this- my maternal grandmother would sing this beautiful hymn to me when I was little, and when I was frightened of things I couldn't understand. This day marks her passing from this life into the silent memory of God, nearly thirty-five years ago. Even to this day I still hear her voice, and see her, as if Time mattered not, because in this song, heavenly peace is truly mine. May our loving

    Heavenly Father watch over you, and yours, and fill you with His peace and light.

  • You can hear pain in the voices, awesome

  • ...czy słońce jest, czy mrok niechaj mnie strzeże Twój, o Panie, wzrok. Być bliżej Ciebie chcę i w śmierci czas, gdy mnie już będzie krył grobowy głaz. Być bliżej Ciebie chcę to me pragnienie czuj, bom ja jest dziecię Twe, Tyś Ojciec mój. Promieniem słońca Bóg, odblaskiem zórz. Po nocy krętych dróg i strasznych snów. Przyjm Panie wdzięczny śpiew, za Twoje Ciało, Krew... Być bliżej Ciebie chcę, o Boże mój.

  • Być bliżej Ciebie chcę, o Boże mój! Z Tobą przez życie lżej nieść krzyża znój. Ty w sercu moim trwasz, z miłością Stwórcy ziem tulisz w ojcowski płaszcz, chroniąc mnie w nim. Być bliżej Ciebie chcę na każdy dzień, za Tobą życiem swym iść jako cień. Daj tylko, Boże dusz, obecność Twoją czuć, myśl moją pośród burz na Ciebie zwróć. Choć jak wędrowiec sam idę przez noc, w Tobie niech siłę mam i w Tobie moc, gdy czuwam i wśród snu, czy słońce jest, czy mrok, niechaj

  • toller song aber der gesang stolpert doch ziemlich. ich meine das wirklich nur als konstruktive kritik, also nimms mir bitte nicht übel, aber die art wie du singst ist für das lied zu modern und so einige töne stimmen nicht.

    ansonsten ist die idee echt gut dich mehrstimmig aufzunehmen, als one-man-band xD

  • awful awful singing
