    Just imagine the person who raised you (not ur parent) died shortly after your graduation when you were just entering the job market. My brother Samson rested 11yrs ago. He slept after holding my hand and blessing me. This song was sang during his burial in that lent season. Greetings from Uganda

    I cherish this song as my Sweetheart was recently raised up to Heaven? Now I know that I am next to walk up the stairways to Heaven! With my darlings picture on the wall facing my bed, I cry every night while praying to Jesus to take good care of her until I get there! We had a wonderful 62 years together!lk

    Lyrics
    1. 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,
    Nearer, my God, to thee,
    Nearer to thee!
    2. 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,
    Nearer, my God, to thee,
    Nearer to thee!
    3. 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,
    Nearer, my God, to thee
    Nearer to thee!
    4. 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,
    Nearer, my God, to thee,
    Nearer to thee!
    5. Or if, on joyful wing
    Cleaving the sky,
    Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
    Upward I fly,
    Still all my song shall be
    Nearer, my God, to thee,
    Nearer, my God, to thee,
    Nearer to thee!

    It's rather equal which religion we have, but this song has no borders for each of us. I'm catholic, living in Germany and played this song on my saxophone as my mother died, 600 km away from me, I just had to play it an at the same moment I knew, she was leaving us, away from pain, but I had to accompany her with my music and so we shared moments as mother and daughter, moments that we never had before. It was a great honour to share these moments with my big Mom, moments of peace, showing into the light, forgive and forget all those horrible things done to us. Mamma, ik vergeet je niet en je bent altijd bij me. Jouw Ireentje

My Dad passed away about 8 yrs ago and I still struggle with it daily and I still think of him daily...it is hard when you lose a parent but I bet your Mom felt this song as she went to be in Heaven and that you will one day see her again.

      I also struggled with the passing of my mother, it was replaced with hope after six long years of blaming my Creator. It would only be after a missionary spoke to me with such conviction in his voice. I felt the Spirit of God testify to my heart that all of us were created by Him and continuity in that journey is dependent on our obedience to His commandments. I truly think you created a bond to remind you of all the joys your mother brought from that single moment. One that extends from birth until her passing, not many persons have that opportunity. God bless you and keep you.

      I think, for me, it would be something that has to play every single day.
      "In all my dreams I'll be, nearer my God to Thee". It is a constant desire and
      journey to the Maker that makes this song meaningful. And yes, when that time
      arrives, "angels to beckon me, nearer my God to Thee" will end the long journey.

      This song was my maternal grandmother's favorite hymn. It described her faith in God and gave her comfort when times were difficult, and sustained her hope in everlasting life through the ransom sacrifice of her Savior Christ Jesus. Even to this day I can hear her singing this to me, as if I were still a little boy, and I find peace. It is my hope I will see her in the Resurrection.

    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,
    Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!

    I every time I hear this song, I think of RMS Titanic breaking and slipping beneath the waves and all those aboard her.
    Rest In Peace to the 1,496 lives lost on April 15th, 1912.

    A beautiful hymn, but this amazing arrangement opens it to the heavens. Love love love to hear all these male voices. Aren’t we so blessed to have this precious, priceless gift of music from our Heavenly Father? It speaks to us of the love He has for us.

      There is a proverb in German: Wo man singt, da lass dich ruhig nieder; böse Menschen haben keine Lieder. (Where they sing, there you should settle and live; evil persons don't have songs.) Music = humanity.
