- Nearer, My God, To Thee - Hymn Tune: BETHANY.
" It is good for me to draw near to God... Psalm 73:28
This is one of the most familiar of all Christian Hymns - Historians tell us it was sung on the Titanic by the men before it finally sank to the bottom of the Ocean.
I use many different combinations of stops for this one, elevate to the key of G on the last verse. If you are using headphones you will hear the nice spatial separation along with the Bombarde Pedal I am using for the last verse..... TRY IT !
Thank you for visiting and for subscribing to my Channel for Hymn lovers like you ! God loves you.
I had the honor to play this at my Mother's Funeral - she loved it.

You're welcome - Lance †♫♪♫
It’s hard not to cry when you hear this song because of its historical connection
Beautiful, remember TITANIC...
That hymn was played as the postlude at my grandpas funeral.
I LOVE THIS SONG , NEARER MY GOD TO THEE, ONE DAY I'LL BE WITH THE LORD FOREVER...
They will play it at the world's end in 1980 they had a band cnn would go off the air!
Gentlemen, it has been a privilege playing with you tonight.
I first heard this lovely Hymn when I was 13, Lance. It was sung as a Vesper in my Church at Macduff in North East Scotland. In 1990, it was played at a dear friend's Funeral Service in Strathspey. The haunting Tune seemed to follow her to her resting-place beside the River Spey. Many thanks, Lance. God bless . Charlie, Aberdeen, Scotland
Lance thank you for this beautiful hymn and for playing it so beautifully for us.
This evening after we were notified that my mom had passed and gone to be with the Lord due to complications from the coronavirus which she just recently caught I listened to this beautiful hymn which you so beautifully played and the Lord used it as a real Comfort to my heart. It reminded me of the fact that the Lord received my mom into his kingdom and she was now with my dad and in the Lord's presence. She too was in the Care Center prior to her passing.
Sorry for your loss - may GOD give you comfort. Lance
( I got my vaccine yesterday... )
Thank you for your beautiful comforting words Lance.
Blessings and God speed to you as you continue in your music Ministry in the Lord and your beautiful organ playing.
Listening to your beautiful organ playing of this hymn reminds me that I'll one day see the Lord face-to-face and both of my beloved parents as well as other family members that have gone on before us
Love to listen to your playing the beautiful old hymns. Am 90 yrs old and sang these wonderful songs as a child. God Bless
Glad you enjoy listening to them, I grew up singing them too. Have a Blessed day and may GOD continue to Bless you.

God bless you
Thank you lance it is my favourite hymn.
I remember this song from Job's Daughters, when I was in high school. Then when my daughter was a member. One of my favorite hymns.
Hilary Sweezey a Masonic family ;)? It’s used in Lodge down here, absolutely beautiful song.
Truly we have a beautiful Saviour God who draws us nearer to Himself..... Thankyou Nancy...... Scotland
You're welcome - I agree with you 100% Lance †
Carefully crafted and performed with all the majesty and sorrow this beautiful and poignant hymn deserves. Thank you, Lance.
You're welcome - If I had a nickel every time I've played this beautiful Hymn for Funeral Services, I'd be rich... As you may know I am a Licensed Funeral Director and was the Organist at several large Funeral Homes in New York for many years, it was always requested.
organpipe8 Short story. I work for two cremation services in the Los Angeles area. Recently my boss gave me the name of a new first-call service to try out. I had occasion to call them. Anthony ,the owner, picked up the phone. Turns out Anthony was chief organist and musical director for the Catholic Diocese of Los Angeles for 30 years... and now he does first-calls! He also still plays at funerals.
glad you played chimes as a "solo" part, instead with other voices. beautiful .! That's how I was taught.
You did that Hymn...VERY GREAT...
KEEP PLAYING..Lance
Absolutely heavenly. Makes us all feel Nearer My God to Thee. Cheers! Amen.
In honor of the men, women, and children who lost their lives 104 years ago tonight and the brave musicians who played this song to their deaths.
Ajn77pilot Amen
You are referring to the sinking of the Titanic. This, in fact, was a historical fact that the musicians played this song even as they sank.... Very dramatic. Amen and Amen. To God by the Glory that they would even think to do that. The last thing on their ears was "Nearer, My God to Thee." How beautiful! Ruthie B. Howard of Big Belly Rebuilds.
an avoidable tragedy
I am always happy to listen to your beautiful hymn play. Thank you again for these great music.
Really, singing from the heart. Wonderful!!!
Honestly the first time I heard this song was in the movie, Titanic. I had to find the name of this beautiful piece.
That's right! The 1997 film DID have this song playing when the ship was going down! I guess I forgot about that. I can visualize that scene from the movie now --how the orchestra just kept playing their instruments even as the ship went down! Thanks for reminding me of that! Ruthie B. Howard of Big Belly Rebuilds
@@bigbellyrebuilds2778 it did indeed. Oh, what a night did too (the original) give it a watch
Beautiful rendition of this hymn.
I can’t help but sing along to these wonderful hymns that you play so brilliantly, it just doesn’t help that I am listening through my headphones and jogging along the beach singing loudly
AWESOME !
i want to cry whenever i listen this
Beautiful!!!
What a beautiful sound. This piece is very moving and humbles me a lot. I have found a local listing for an organ that I want to purchase. Thank you for inspiring me, brother Lance! May the Lord truly bless you more and more, as you have blessed so many of your listeners.
I hope you find the instrument you like and use it to Glorify the name of Jesus with HIS praise and song, so rewarding - Lance † ♫♪♫
Beautiful hymn Lance. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with us. May God continue to bless you in your ministry and in your life. ~Kirk Z. Saint Marys, Pennsylvania.

Amen Brother!..
GOD BLESS FOR AHRING WITH YOUR MUSIC
Beautiful play. :)
Beautiful
Nice video
A hymn/song of great comfort for those who choose It's Peace:
Nearer my God to Thee, Nearer to Thee!
E'en tho' 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.
Tho' like a 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.
Then let the way appear, steps up to heaven;
All that Thou sendest me,
In mercy given; angels to beckon me,
Nearer my God, to Thee,
Nearer my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.
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.
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...
Bill Fortune Amen and Amen.
Thank you Bill for adding the words of his most beautiful , poignant Hymn. God bless. Charlie, Aberdeen, Scotland
Hey Lance;Haven't dropped you a note in quite some time. I'm glad to see that you are still playing and recording videos for youtube. I had both hands operated on for carpal tunnel and have just recently returned to my practice. I hope to be playing regularly again soon.Wishing you a great and blessed day.Dave
- Dave, Glad to hear you will be playing soon - may GOD give you healing. Lance †
This moves me
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Amazing
Dedicated to those who lost their lives in the wtc. If I'd been there trapped, just before the towers fell I'd play this song
DallasCowboyTouchdown :'(
We are told that this hymn was sung on the Titanic way back in 1912 when she was sinking. We don't know if this true, but you again play so beautifully and it's a joy listening. Daniel - Sutton Surrey UK.
Daniel Jones I get what you say, but if they played it on Titanic then it predates 1912. They just didn't make it up right on impact. I play the violin and it wouldn't happen like that. Movies and media....what to think? LOL
+Rex TexasAggie , it does predate 1912. It was composed in 1841 by Sarah Flowers Adams.
+Daniel Jones
The most likely version of "nearer my god to thee" played on the titanic was the "propior deo" version with the bethany version being the most unlikely.
Gigidag77 maybe for you. This organ version is pretty good too.
I agree !!!
Magnifique!
That was really, really beautiful! So many times these large pipe organs play these elaborate runs and arias(not sure of the term, I play piano and violin) as to "make it their own", thus disguising it and I honestly lose the whole song. For me to connect in church, organ music like this, simple and meaningful, will e-mail me right to God. Other types of guitar and tambourine in church....metaphorically, the server goes down. Music makes the difference. Thanks...well done!
This is absolutley beautiful! Ruthie of Big Belly Rebuilds
awesome and touching my heart. Thanks God Almighty
Lovely !
Brilliant !!
+pianistpraveen - Thank You - Lance † ♫♪♫
so cool and happy
Nice to catch up with you again and hear you using your God given ability, to play these hymns to inspire all who hear them. Like to listen, while I do some "Bible study during the week and on Sunday before I go to Church.
Have missed listening to your past, excellent renditions, when they seemed to go missing from TH-cam. To you, "organpipe8 and all who listen, "keep your eyes fixed on Jesus". Christian Greetings from Australia.
OH...I LOVE your organ....I want one! My Baldwin 210 D doesn't sound anywhere near this awesome! thanks for sharing your beautiful music!
BTW,,,am going to find my Boze Headphones to listen again!
You're welcome - my honor. Lance † ♫♪♫
Hi, we have the same organ at our church, how did you play the bell voices? Are there any settings inside? Still Love your videos after watching all these years!
There is a stop called "CHIMES" which makes the bells - Thanks for watching - GOD loves you - Lance †♫♪♫
As always your great
Thank you.

Thank you - Lance †
Hi Lance, I have been touched greatly by the songs you played.
Please, is there any way I can get some copies of your Mp3 albums.
Hello - sorry I do not have any Mp3 Albums but there are many programs that are free and allow you to download TH-cam music as Mp3's - please do a search. I use Mozilla Firefox browser and they have many programs that do it. Blessings to you.
Hello. You can search for "TH-cam to MP3" downloader. It works.
The favorite hymn (and supposed dying words) of William McKinley. And according to Ted Turner, when the world ends CNN will sign off by playing a looped video of the Army band performing this song until the end comes.
Titanic brought me here
Titanic and titanic accessories brought me here
what is the make and model of this organ? It sounds beautiful!
I mention it on my profile page but for now, it is a Viscount Vivace 20 - made in Italy. Lance †
¿Qué composición es esta? Me suena de siempre, pero no sé el título. Se toca en el momento de tomar la sagrada Comunión, durante la Misa católica. Es preciosa.
Cerca de ti Señor yo quiero estar
Titulo original y tambien el autor. ¿Gracias!
Where could I get this organ?
Not sure if they still sell them in the U.S. Please do a search. VISCOUNT ORGANS, they are made in Italy. Blessings - Lance †♫♪♫

It was played on the titanic not sung on it they didn't sing it was to try to calm the frightened people on board nothing to do with Christianity no offense
regardless an avoidable tragedy
