LYRICS:
In articulo mortis
Caelitus mihi vires
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
E’en though it be a cross
That raiseth me.
There let the way appear,
(In articulo mortis caelitus mihi vires.)
Steps unto heav’n;
(Deo adjuvante non timendum in perpetuum.)
All that Thou sendest me,
(Dirige nos Domine ad augusta per angusta.)
In mercy giv’n;
(Sic itur ad astra excelsior, excelsior, excelsior, excelsior, excelsior.)
Still all my song shall be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
(Dirige nos Domine ad augusta per angusta.)
Nearer to Thee!
(Sic itur ad astra excelsior!)
Though like the wanderer,
(In articulo mortis caelitus mihi vires.)
The sun gone down,
(Deo adjuvante non timendum in perpetuum.)
Darkness be over me,
(Dirige nos Domine ad augusta per angusta.)
My rest a stone;
(Sic itur ad astra excelsior, excelsior, excelsior, excelsior, excelsior.)
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
(Dirige nos Domine ad augusta per angusta.)
Nearer to Thee!
(Sic itur ad astra excelsior!)
Or if, on joyful wing
(In articulo mortis caelitus mihi vires.)
Cleaving the sky,
(Deo adjuvante non timendum in perpetuum.)
Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
(Dirige nos Domine ad augusta per angusta.)
Upward I fly!
(Sic itur ad astra excelsior. Dirige nos Domine ad augusta per angusta. Sic itur ad astra excelsior!)
LATIN TRANSLATION
In articulo mortis [At the moment of death]
Caelitus mihi vires [My strength is from heaven]
Deo adjuvante non timendum [God helps us; nothing should be feared]
In perpetuum [Forever]
Dirige nos Domine [Direct us, O Lord]
Ad augusta per angusta [To high places by narrow roads]
Sic itur ad astra [Such is the path to the stars]
Excelsior [Ever upward]

If you've never sung choral, you have NO idea how hard that is. Especially on the high notes. Good job!

@itsThan_ 4 года назад

"belt at soprano range" isn't a valid statement. While the difficulty you're speaking of, it isn't anywhere near a soprano range. The note at 2:52 is closer but in choral music as a genre, it's typical tenor stuff.

Some christians take worldly beats and overlay Christian lyrics and call that worship. It may be entertainment but not fit for such God as mine. I know they mean well but Cain's worship was rejected

@shawnerick7371 3 года назад

@@renarich4942 you say that as if you know that God wouldn't accept their worship. Cain was told not to worship how he did. However, you can't make the claim that they aren't honoring God with whatever music they choose to use. To say that beats are "worldly" is in my opinion something you can not and would never be able to support as being biblical. I would encourage you to step off your highhorse and consider that God is a lot larger than you or what you consider "yours". He is worshipped by all and the worship of him isn't dictated by what you think (thank you God).

@calebp6114 5 лет назад

Interesting! Christianity is the act of following Christ's teachings. We believe he was the Son of God and that he died and rose again for us. Christianity offers forgiveness for all, although we have rebelled against God, so that we can be in a relationship with him. Jesus taught to love all, be pacifistic (a lot like you) and to glorify God in all that we do.

@syrinacrockett8290 5 лет назад

I grew up in a Baptists church so this song was played a lot. I was one of those people that only went to church because that's what a good southern girl does, but I never really believed in the whole God thing, but now that I've gotten older and have experienced life without church and God; I've realized that I needed him in my life. This was the song that was on the radio when I did finally giving my life to God. This song saved my life and I thank God everyday for it.

@angiemarshick2395 5 лет назад

With some of the comments that I read here, this song has positively affected a lot of people. Psalm 96: 2 " Sing to the LORD, praise HIS name. Proclaim HIS salvation, day after day". Sometimes when someone gives their life to GOD, the devil tries to throw negatives situations toward them to discourage them. Remember, there is an Angel by your side and GOD will never leave, nor forsake you. Stand proud and strong as you walk with the LORD.

That's the difference with Jesus, Jan. Our works can not get us into heaven. In God's sight our own works apart from Him are as filthy rags. This is why we need a personal relationship with God, to repent of anything He calls sin and accept His gift on the cross of forgiveness and eternal life. No one that believes and trusts in Jesus will ever see death. John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Romans 5:8 “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 10:9 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” He is the truth, there is no other way. Please pray to God with all your heart and ask Him to reveal His truth to you. God bless you in Jesus name.

Human voices are the replicates of our heavenly angels because we are the creation of God in His likeness and image.

@Nebula Jesus knows what He does. If He left you without the answer it means there is a reason for that. The most usually reason is that there is missing our decision of forgiveness for those who have hurt us. It's worth to say: "In the name of Jesus I'm forgiving every person who has hurt me. Amen." 😊 Without this decision the things won't change - you will not listen the Jesus... Lack of forgiveness to others is really powerful barrier separating us from God. We are during the Lent time. It's good time to forgive others and convert ourselves. 😊

I can't fathom how 87 people could dislike something this clear and gorgeous.

@Skyduke 9 лет назад

Probably some hippy new york liberals that dislike the fact this is sung in a college where religion matters. Ignore them.

87 Anti-mormons. Some people just can't enjoy the music without looking at our beliefs.

@lerickson92 9 лет назад

Peyton Fuimaono That's too bad. Something this deep should momentarily break all boundaries between religions.

@johnhand871 9 лет назад

The trouble is...I went into the site and could find no more songs by the choir. Makes me wonder if the song is just to suck people in. Would have liked to hear more.

Or maybe some people don't like choral singing much, or at least this tune. Sheesh, it doesn't always have to be about religion. It's an important issue, but it isn't like it's always applicable. Almost any youtube video with sufficient votes/views will have a bunch of dislikes (around 1%, just like this one), it is just normal statistics.

Just wanna share an experience that I would never forget when I was still a university student. I would go to the church every Sunday for a morning mass and after the priest's sermon it was time for a hymn and everybody would stand up. And right when the choir started singing, I heard an unfamiliar harp music that I was practically looking back and front to find its source and it's indescribable, so out of the world sound of harp playing as if thete was a choir of invisible angels singing along. My hair was all standing as I listened to it intently. I tried searching for a similar harp sound in youtube afterwards and a few weeks in but nothing ever sounded like it. I'd like to believe that they came down from heaven just to say hi :)

My faith has been weakened by the years but listening to this made me remember how nearer to God we need to be. Thank you

@Bobjk56 2 года назад

Yep, we are weak but He is strong. God never changes and always fulfills His promises! He loves you and carries us whenever we are struggling. Life has a way of wearing us down, but Jesus is always there no matter what.

I'm going to repost this before the original comment gets lost forever. The background lyrics and translation, courtesy of +Josh Smith are: IN ARTICULO MORTIS // At the moment of death CAELITUS MIHI VIRES // My strength is from heaven DEO ADJUVANTE NON TIMENDUM // God helping, nothing should be feared IN PERPETUUM // Forever DIRIGE NOS DOMINE // Direct us, O Lord AD AUGUSTA PER ANGUSTA // To high places by narrow roads SIC ITUR AD ASTRA // Such is the path to the stars EXCELSIOR // Ever upward Happy Listening :)

Also, to clarify the last line, "Astra" and "Excelsior" allide, so it sounds like Asrachelsior

This is worship. When my soul feels burdened and heavy, I come here and I listen to this song and the glory of the Almighty fills me up every time. I thank God for these men, these voices and the opportunity to worship him every time this song is played. What a blessing.
