Latin verse

In articulo mortis
Caelitus mihi vires

In articulo mortis
Caelitus mihi vires

Nearer my God, to Thee,


Nearer to Thee
E'en though it be a cross
That raiseth me.

Oo...
Oo...
Oo...
Oo...

There let the way appear,


Steps unto heaven
All that Thou sendest me,
In mercy given

In articulo mortis caelitus mihi


vires.
Deo adjuvante non timendum
in perpetuum.
Dirige nos Domine ad augusta
per angusta.
Sic itur ad astra excelsior,
excelsior, excelsior,
excelsior, excelsi-

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,

Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.

All my song shall be


Nearer my God, to Thee,
Dirige nos Domine ad augusta
per angusta.
Sic itur ad astra excelsior!
In articulo mortis caelitus mihi
vires.
Deo adjuvante non timendum
in perpetuum.
Dirige nos Domine ad augusta
per angusta.
Sic itur ad astra excelsior,
excelsior, excelsior,
excelsior, excelsiAngels to beckon me

Or if on joyful wing,
Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
Upward I fly.
Excelsior!

Nearer, my God, to Thee,


Dirige nos Domine ad augusta
per angusta.
Sic itur ad astra excelsior!
excelsior, excelsior,
excelsior, excelsior,
excelsior, excelsior,
In articulo mortis caelitus mihi
vires.
Deo adjuvante non timendum
in perpetuum.
Dirige nos Domine ad augusta
per angusta.
Sic itur ad astra excelsior.
Dirige nos Domine ad augusta
per angusta.
Sic itur ad astra excelsior!
