    This hymn played on the organ, truly depicts the longing of the soul to be near its creator in eternity.

      The Titanic sank, with most of her passengers and crew, their lungs filled with icy saltwater, their eyes open, staring into the darkness as they sank into the depths.

    A wonderful hymn beautifully played. The choir sang it at my grandfather's funeral 13 years ago and the church organ played it at my nan's funeral one week ago 🌹.
    This hymn is part of my life and will be hopefully part of my funeral one day.
    Thank you for sharing with us and RIP dear Nan❤️🙏

    Thank you, Rob. This was my maternal grandmother's favorite hymn. It symbolized her faith and trust in the Almighty, and the hope she entertained of Life everlasting.
    Even to this day I can still hear her sing this to me, as if I were still the little boy I once was, and its words and melody help me, as it did for her. May God richly bless and keep you safe in His care! Thank you for a wonderful memory, and for your artistry.

    When I hear you playing this lovely old Hymn, Rob, I'm remembering 31st March 2015, when my brother-in-law was laid to rest. It was a bitterly cold day at Macduff Parish Church, Banffshire, perched high above the Sea, and a slight snowfall as we reached the Cemetery. Just before the Service was due to start, Mrs Eleanor Wilson, the Organist, played over the 1st Verse. It sounded so nice, Rob. We sang "By Cool Siloam's Shady Rill" and "Will Your Anchor Hold?" These I've requested for when my own time comes. Thank you, Rob. God bless. Charlie, Aberdeen.

    Rob. I don't know what it is but something always touches me deeply when I hear "Nearer My God to Thee" sung to "Bethany", the Tune in "Sacred Songs & Solos." In some ways, it reminds me on a Scots Air. Can't express it, Rob. It's just beautiful. You played it so well. God bless. Charlie, Aberdeen.
