Nearer, My God, to Thee" is a 19th-century Christian hymn by Sarah Flower Adams, based loosely on Genesis 28:11--19, the story of Jacob's dream.
The original lyrics to the hymn are as follows:
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,
Chorus: 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,
Chorus
There let the way appear steps unto heav'n;
All that Thou sendest me in mercy giv'n;
Angels to beckon me nearer, my God, to Thee,
Chorus
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,
Chorus
Or if on joyful wing, cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upwards I fly,
Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee,
A sixth verse was later added to the hymn by Edward H. Bickersteth, Jr. as follows:
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.
Chorus
"Nearer, My God, to Thee" is also associated with the sinking of the RMS Titanic, as some survivors later reported that the ship's string ensemble played the hymn as the vessel sank.
Qué «Cerca de ti, Señor»! Hace llorar
Bajo la dirección de André Rieu, los más de quinientos miembros de la Orquesta Johann Strauss interpretaron en Amsterdam Cerca de ti, Señor [Nearer my God, to Thee]. Parte del público acabo llorando, ante la impresionante magnificencia del himno, original de Sarah Fuller Flower Adams (1805-1848), y que tocaron los músicos del Titanic mientras se hundía.
Cerca de Ti, Señor Cerca de Ti, Señor, yo quiero estar; tu grande eterno amor quiero gozar. Llena mi pobre ser, limpia mi corazón; hazme tu rostro ver en la aflicción. Mi pobre corazón inquieto está, por esta vida voy buscando paz. Mas sólo Tú, Señor, la paz me puedes dar, cerca de Ti, Señor, yo quiero estar. Pasos inciertos doy, el sol se va; mas, si contigo estoy, no temo ya. Himnos de gratitud alegre cantaré, y fiel a Ti, Señor, siempre seré. Día feliz veré creyendo en Ti, en que yo habitaré cerca de Ti. Mi voz alabará tu santo Nombre allí, y mi alma gozará cerca de ti.
