My beautiful wife of 49 years passed away suddenly in December. We had this played at her funeral. Every now and again I play this. Such a fond reminder of wonderful times.
This melody really captures the feeling of being closer to God. It captures the sound of majesty, of glory, of beauty. In short, it captures the sound of heaven!
The historical significance of this beautiful hym is lost on a lot of people. This is probably the last piece of music over 1000 people heard on their last night on earth in April 4th 1912. I can’t listen to this song without crying. I have been obsessed with the Titanic ever since I could remember. May all their souls rest in peace
I needed to be near the Lord tonight. I miss my mother. She passed away at the age of 87 this year January 3rd. This version of Nearer my God to thee. Always gives me comfort. Thank you Andre
God is not in Music!! You be close to God when you pray and talk to him. Ask him to guide you to the right path, heal you, never leave you, protect you and your loved ones. God is not music tunes!! 🤦🏻♀️
Andre Rieu’s audiences are always sold out. But a lot of his music isn’t not true symphony music. It’s called music hall classical, so sort of popular classical short pieces
My small midwestern state school has a symphony orchestra… and it’s almost always full… for the 4 times they perform each semester. So no… there are still people that appreciate classical heritage. Same goes for any culture - there will always be those that will try to preserve their own cultural heritage. It’s the least we can do
As I listen to this beautiful hymn, I'm thinking of my adult son, who passed away late last year, at the young age of 37. Kiddo. your old man will never forget you, and we will see each other again when my time comes, I'm sure of it.
@@isifonua5619Essentially she had huge troubles; Her family were dying and her luck kept getting worse. She confided in her pastor, as her faith in Jesus was slipping from this grief. He convinced her to not only get back onto the path of God, but also wrote hymns with her to express her emotions and instill the faith of the Lord onto those who listened.
One of the most beautiful holy songs ever. My mom passed away about one week ago. This afternoon we will have her funeral. She is with Jesus, her Savior, in Whom she built her faith during her whole life, for 93 years. How beautiful is that?
John 14:21 _"He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him."_

112 years ago, on the early hours of April 15th, 1912, as the RMS Titanic sank into the icy waters of the North Atlantic, the brave musicians aboard played this as their last song. Sadly, all of them would be among the 1,500 souls lost in the sinking.
They played right up to the last minutes before Titanic broke apart and disappeared beneath the North Atlantic Ocean, taking more then 1500 souls with her. The musicians stayed right to the end.
I lost my Dad and I pray that this is the sound of heaven. And so he passed, in the early hours of the morning, peacefully. Sadly I could not be there due to C19 restrictions, but I was in spirit.
Lost mine 5 yrs ago exactly. My dad is my hero and always will be. I am so very thankful for him. It isn't easy buddy but it's time to stand up and step forward. God bless you sir.
My heart and prayers are with you Jonathan. Know the pain your feeling. Lost younger brother a few months ago, then 8 weeks later my dad. Not allowed to see either of them. Keep praying brother, God bless.
This song gives me a sense of calm, peace and a feeling of nostalgia. It was and remains my source of solace and strength following the passing of my Dad on August 19, 2022. Rest well Dad!
They're like a human body. Everyone has a role to play. Taken as a whole, they're perfect. Wonderful to behold! This is a wonder created by the hand of God.
I agree to differ, there are millions of people who doesn't listen to or love music, but they still have chill So you're out of point or perhaps exaggerated a lot
This hymn always reminds me of my dad who passed on 2016 it seems like yesterday. A loving peaceful caring father. I love you daddy wherever you are I know you are a beautiful angel. You left an indelible mark in my heart ❤
I'm a person who doesn't typically cry that much, which is nothing to brag about it or this is over exaggeration. But, when I hear this and remember that night, her the ship, and the band and people who went down with her, I break down. That ship, The Titanic, was my childhood, and to know that Heaven is the new chapter in life is what amazes me of this ode.
God bless you. I’d forgotten that this beautiful hymn was played whilst the Titanic was sinking. There is an incredible story of a pastor on the ship, I believe his name was John Harper. Do look up his story.
@KatySimpsonLive Thank you, I'll be sure to do so. There is also some speculation amongst the actual survivors that they might've played a quartet piece called "Autumn" though it is not likely.
Whenever I hear this, I think of the Titanic, not the movie. The actual titanic, my great grandmother told me about when she was on the titanic before she died
I just wonder, this hymn was written in 1800's if the author ever imagined that this would still have this deep of an impact over two hundred years later. Amazing.
This song is my father's favorite song ever. He listens to this song in our local language almost every day. His faith was unshakeable. People said he is physically challenged but as a son, I never saw it. He never raised his voice on anyone but always raised his hand towards Lord Jesus. I lost my father on 24-Apr-2021 due to covid. He was not able to get treatment on time. But I know he is Nearer to our Lord Jesus. Keep us in your prayers.
@@rattywoof5259 I tell ya, I wish us as Christians were as passionate about telling others about Jesus as you atheists are about claiming He doesn't exist. That's the sad part about it.
Yaelra R. Unfortunately this one touches the soul for a very different reason. The last song played by White Star Line's most experienced band aboard the fateful RMS Titanic. This song now carries a double meaning, that of a Christian hymn, and that of a symbol of tragedy. A shame that such a beautiful hymn has been forced into such a dark double life.
Amen dear friend. I am now in the latter half of 60 and remember singing this beautiful longing-for-God hymn at Mass, in the Church choir as a teenager. Thank you Lord for my spiritual upbringing.
NINTENDOSH I wouldn’t say that’s a double meaning. More of a bittersweet moment during a dark event. What other song would you rather hear? It’s fitting.
This hymn was played during the funeral of a close friend of mine, now on tuesday, January 14th. He died of cancer. He was diagnozed in 2017, and he fought the battle until the very end. He didn't die because he had given up, his body just couldn't take it. He was brave as a lion, and believed in life and in his faith. He lost no battle. In fact, he won. He was always peaceful about it. He knew what he was heading. He died, 23 years old. Rest in peace, my friend. We shall meet again.
Even though I have no connection with you or the dear friend you recently lost, this song touches ones soul thinking of how he fought the good fight but at that certain moment, you know it is out of your hands and time to let it go. God Bless you Both.
I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you take comfort in the fact he was at peace with what was happening to him and that he had a lot of comfort from his faith.
What's with this emotional crap, he died, we will all die someday, that's the cycle of life, I hate when people make drama out of the most basic rule of nature.
Wie schön. Ich liebe dieses Lied sehr. Höre ich mir öfter an, besonders heute. Es ist der 10. Todestag meiner Mum. Bei diesem Lied fühle ich mich Gott ganz nah.😢
We all come from different walks of life, from different faiths, different countries, we all speak different languages and do things differently. But we all appreciate the undeniable beauty of music, it's power and influence. I am not a Christian but if such a magnificent piece of music so glorious and emotionally moving was written for God, then maybe there is someone looking down on all of us.
Obey The Beard My prayer for you dear brother, is that you will know His Love in a real and compassionate way some day. Please do not take the church as proof of God, just ask Him to reveal Himself to you and He will. You will know the wonderful feeling of His Love when you do. God Bless you.
Obey The Beard You win my salute Sir! I see a definite pattern--the scientists and the leaders make us mad and we have become tooth and claw to each other. But as soon as Soul-touching musicians appear on the stage, we see a Biblical environment made of brotherhood. The comments on this page is the immediate proof of this truth. I am not a Christian either but it does not matter. Another surprising truth is, the Bible says, "God made man in His image." And that image is a Grand master--Andre Rieu is the immediate example!
Shut the fuck up, you disgusting cretin. How dare you stand on the corpses of the Titanic to justify your sick hatred of the Lord and his herd?! @bdubzzz69
This was one of my mother’s favorite musicians. I was with each parent when they died, & have also lost 3 brothers. This piece brings memories & tears; thank you, Sir.
"Gentlemen, it has been a privilege playing with you tonight." Here is one of the most beautiful performances of this precious hymn. Thank you +André Rieu for sharing! I hope someday I can attend an André Rieu performance. - From an André Rieu fan in Ohio, USA.
The tune is beautiful enough all on its own, especially with this amazing arrangement. I would have liked the choir to sing the words though instead of just ahhhhh-ing, just to the first verse.
I praise the Lord for this song....I fell the God s presence when I hear it.I am from Brazil.....but I love to hear worship songs in English.Praise the Lord ...He is the God of all my days.
As a person's life comes to a near end, whether on a luxurious ship somewhere or some kind of tragedy or a normal death, God is near to us all. As a Catholic Christian, life on earth will end but we will be resurrected to new life. Always have hope and faith.
My older brother just passed away last September, 18. He had a long fight with cancer, He achieved so much beautiful things, he taught me how to live, I just wanted to see him become an amazing, helpful, hopeful doctor, I just wanted to see him graduate, I wish I could meet you once again and sleep while you read my favourite book to me, also happy birthday too, Big Brother Mark... miss you, Big Brother Mark, I miss you, Your Younger Sibling, ....God bless him...
My mom fought cancer hard but she passed away few days back. But i saw her saying jesus and her arms open wide welcoming jesus before death. I hope when my time comes I meet my mom and Jesus I have lot to talk ♥
I'm sorry for your loss. Your mum's spirit or consciousness is always with you. I am absolutely certain you will see her one day. Death is just the end of the body , consciousness Is eternal. Peace to you in your life
Your husband was blessed to have you for his wife. He was blessed to drift into eternity while hearing this beautiful hymn. I am glad he is suffering no more, but it must be difficult to be the one left to go on. My belief is that even though it doesn't seem like it, this life is so short and soon it will be his turn to help you drift into eternity and welcome you with open arms. Please accept my sincere sympathies. My wish for you is that the Peace that passes understanding will fill your mind and heart, that you will feel the nearness of God.
creativeplanetjanet Thank you for you kind and comforting words Without God's sweet love and comfort I would never be able to go on without the love of my life. In our marriage we were blessed with children, they and our grandchildren are my joy now.
When I listen to this, I feel that I am ready to leave this cruel world, it brings such peace to my heart and leaves no fear of taking my last breath. In my 51 years of life, I have seen so much pain, hatred and lost many of those whom I have loved so dearly. I cannot wait to go for my last final sleep.
This is the music that was played this morning at my father's funeral. We were only two people because of the coronavirus: my brother and I, in addition to the two operators who introduced the coffin into the niche. Raining. This was one of my father's favorite pieces and today it sounded sad and splendid. He would have liked it up there a lot.
I got tears in my eyes reading this as this is also one of my favorite songs and I feel so sorry and hardened for your loss and that not more people could attend your father‘s funeral! May he rest in peace and you keep his memory alive in your heart in this world! 💙💚 💛✝️ 😢😇🙏🏼🌹
My cousin was lost at sea when his schooner capsized off the coast of Maine. We played this at his service. This happened some years ago, however I still leave the room when this part of Titanic comes on.
Hoy hace 6 años, con mi cuñada en una cama de hospital por un cáncer de mama, y ya en sus últimas horas, le compartí el capítulo 8 de Romanos y terminé con éste himno. Para despedirme, le dije: " Lili, ya me voy.... allá nos vemos" a lo que ella hizo un esfuerzo muy grande por enderezar su cuerpo para decirme: "Si Ale, allá nos vemos." Ella falleció un día después. Gracias a Dios es una verdad que todo aquel que se ha arrepentido delante de Dios y puesto su confianza en Jesucristo como único y suficiente Salvador, un día estaremos juntos alabando a nuestro Dios por su sublime gracia.
Amsterdam, Amsterdam turn your heart to Him. His glory used to dwell so strongly in you. Turn back again and be saved, Amsterdam and the beautiful nation of Netherland. Amen
Doctor Octobrist isn't it better to believe and live a righteous life and to find out that God does not exist then to not believe then to find out that He does and to be eternally condemned? I truly believe that God exist and He came in the flesh to show us the way. You might again ask why Jesus, it's because the rest of the world seek "god" and end up with the devil but Jesus came seeking for us so we won't make that mistake. Amen and God loves you very much.
Oui je crois en toi seigneur Oui je crois en toi Merci maestro ❤ C'est sur cette superbe musique que je vous tire ma révérence sans oublier le petit 😊du soir
Also @Alex Cowell if you never read a book called The Bible at the story Revelation god will send viruses and disasters and those WHO DO THEIR part will be saved and go to our heaven by God and someone called Jesus sure you never heard of him but am sorry am being to religious it’s just this is what will happen in me and Joseph’s religion Christianity ok. Just saying you may not be an atheist but a different religion am just trying to explain what this means to us Christians ok have a wonder full day.
I lift my eyes to the sky and know that You are the I lift my hands and touch reality I will worship You in spirit and truth For eternity... every time I hear this music I feel how my spirit rises to the sky!..👏
To all of the victims who fell to COVID-19, I dedicate this song to you. May it be a symbol of your remembrance whilst you were here on this beautiful planet. May you find peace and May the lord forever guide you. 🙏🏽
This song gives me the courage to down on my knees and say ' Lord if it is your will, take me to you at my best, because my desire is to draw nearer to you.Yes! Lord not my will but yours be done'____🕊️
When I am talking about the artistic beauty of Christendom, I always cite this grand hymn by Sarah Flower Adams as an example of our powerful artistic framework. This song is, without a doubt, one of the greatest artistic productions of the modern western era.
Agreed, Mikael, and this hymn is indelibly etched onto the soul of the West because of the brave men on the Titanic. May God give us the grace and strength to face our own death with such courage and love.
With 35 million views, the song resonates with people all over the world. Beautifully and sensitively played - thank you Andre and your orchestra and singers.
Jean Ragland Glory to God In The HIGHEST🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 The message in this precious hymn expresses my heart's desire....to be nearer to my God, and to please and honor Him for He IS SO WORTHY of honor, glory and praise. This IS my 'earnest' plea as I bow before Him in prayer submitting and yielding my will to Him as a willing vessel that when my earthly journey is over, I my enter into my eternal Heavenly rest, and dwell in peace forever with my Savior..😇🙌🏼💃🏽❤️
We have this hymn in Arabic which is very popular in the Catholic church in Jordan. All the love from Australia. يارب انت لي خير الحمى إذ مـا بشدتي دمعـي همـى صوتي سيصرخ ربي مسترحما يـارب انت لي خير الحمى

This hymn always reminds me of my dad who passed on 2016 it seems like yesterday. A loving peaceful caring father. I love you daddy wherever you are I know you are a beautiful angel. You left an indelible mark in my heart ❤
The power of this hymn is speechless as everyone's eyes are shedding tears on hearing this. Amen..
Amen
AMEN. ❤️🙏✝️⚓️😢
Nearer my god to thee🙏
Amen
❤Amen and Amen.❤
The most beautiful rendition I've ever heard of this song. Such a blessing for anyone who is grieving.
I'm a person who doesn't typically cry that much, which is nothing to brag about it or this is over exaggeration. But, when I hear this and remember that night, her the ship, and the band and people who went down with her, I break down. That ship, The Titanic, was my childhood, and to know that Heaven is the new chapter in life is what amazes me of this ode.
I’m gonna smoke a joint, and think about that. Thanks
@@outofbody6797 You're welcome. Lest we forget.

God bless you. I’d forgotten that this beautiful hymn was played whilst the Titanic was sinking. There is an incredible story of a pastor on the ship, I believe his name was John Harper. Do look up his story.
@KatySimpsonLive Thank you, I'll be sure to do so. There is also some speculation amongst the actual survivors that they might've played a quartet piece called "Autumn" though it is not likely.
I can't listen without welling up. Such a powerful hymn. Well done Andre, well done indeed sir.
fuck you and fuck SIR andre

Whenever I hear this, I think of the Titanic, not the movie. The actual titanic, my great grandmother told me about when she was on the titanic before she died
dawson bahr I studied the titanic for many years and what is her name
We are all aboard a sinking Titanic, in need of assurance that our God is near. Beautifully presented.
Definitely 🙂
I just wonder, this hymn was written in 1800's if the author ever imagined that this would still have this deep of an impact over two hundred years later. Amazing.
It’s the story of Jacobs dream as the Angels descended and ascended the ladder to Heaven and how he was “ Nearer to God”.Beautiful Hymn. Google it.
I think so as it touched folks lives then as it does now and will do so however long mankind is around.
My favourite hymn. Coming up to the 4th anniversary of my lovely brother in laws passing, just sitting listening ,& thinking of Steve.
I see .
いっちゃが
Every time I listen to this hymn I end up shading my tear😭, It is very touching, May the Soul of Our beloved ones continue to rest in eternal peace
This song is my father's favorite song ever. He listens to this song in our local language almost every day. His faith was unshakeable. People said he is physically challenged but as a son, I never saw it. He never raised his voice on anyone but always raised his hand towards Lord Jesus.
I lost my father on 24-Apr-2021 due to covid. He was not able to get treatment on time. But I know he is Nearer to our Lord Jesus. Keep us in your prayers.
Amen I Jesus name
Imagine singing this while entering the gates of heaven... And you see all those loved ones and angels and God waiting for you...
Amen!
Man, my minds vision does that sight no justice whatsoever, but I can't wait until that day comes. See y'all there! We gonna party!!!!!
@@simonling7214 que imaginação linda! espero poder ver e viver isto...
What a pity there's no evidence to back that up.
@@rattywoof5259 I tell ya, I wish us as Christians were as passionate about telling others about Jesus as you atheists are about claiming He doesn't exist. That's the sad part about it.
This is heavenly....it brings me so close to my beloved ones who left towards a new brighter path.
Makes me sit a think of all the good times. And then miss them (my grandma). I miss her so much if only I could hear her voice once more…
Schon als Siebenjährige hat mich diese Melodie berührt. Jetzt als 80jährige erinnere ich mich an den Moment in meiner Kindheit.
Christian hymns are THE most beautiful anointed songs that not only touch the heart and soul but comfort and heal the heart and soul.
Yaelra R. Unfortunately this one touches the soul for a very different reason. The last song played by White Star Line's most experienced band aboard the fateful RMS Titanic. This song now carries a double meaning, that of a Christian hymn, and that of a symbol of tragedy. A shame that such a beautiful hymn has been forced into such a dark double life.
They were to beginning of all in music. Including the future in the Blues and rolling out beyond.
Inspired by God himself
Amen dear friend. I am now in the latter half of 60 and remember singing this beautiful longing-for-God hymn at Mass, in the Church choir as a teenager. Thank you Lord for my spiritual upbringing.
NINTENDOSH I wouldn’t say that’s a double meaning. More of a bittersweet moment during a dark event. What other song would you rather hear? It’s fitting.
This hymn was played during the funeral of a close friend of mine, now on tuesday, January 14th. He died of cancer. He was diagnozed in 2017, and he fought the battle until the very end. He didn't die because he had given up, his body just couldn't take it. He was brave as a lion, and believed in life and in his faith.
He lost no battle. In fact, he won. He was always peaceful about it. He knew what he was heading. He died, 23 years old. Rest in peace, my friend. We shall meet again.
Rest in peace .. God also needs brave souls to be around HIM
Even though I have no connection with you or the dear friend you recently lost, this song touches ones soul thinking of how he fought the good fight but at that certain moment, you know it is out of your hands and time to let it go. God Bless you Both.
I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you take comfort in the fact he was at peace with what was happening to him and that he had a lot of comfort from his faith.
RIP
What's with this emotional crap, he died, we will all die someday, that's the cycle of life, I hate when people make drama out of the most basic rule of nature.

We have just buried my grandma. Thank zyou grandma for all you have done for us. All the sour sweet memories. Rest in peace. ❤
This is where I see, hear, and feel God every day! Music is the purest language of God in my opinion. Universal.
Absolutely true!🙏🏻💙🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻💚
This was the last piece of music 1500 souls heard on April 15th, 1912

Wie schön. Ich liebe dieses Lied sehr. Höre ich mir öfter an, besonders heute. Es ist der 10. Todestag meiner Mum. Bei diesem Lied fühle ich mich Gott ganz nah.😢
We all come from different walks of life, from different faiths, different countries, we all speak different languages and do things differently. But we all appreciate the undeniable beauty of music, it's power and influence. I am not a Christian but if such a magnificent piece of music so glorious and emotionally moving was written for God, then maybe there is someone looking down on all of us.
Obey The Beard My prayer for you dear brother, is that you will know His Love in a real and compassionate way some day. Please do not take the church as proof of God, just ask Him to reveal Himself to you and He will. You will know the wonderful feeling of His Love when you do. God Bless you.
Obey The Beard You win my salute Sir! I see a definite pattern--the scientists and the leaders make us mad and we have become tooth and claw to each other. But as soon as Soul-touching musicians appear on the stage, we see a Biblical environment made of brotherhood. The comments on this page is the immediate proof of this truth. I am not a Christian either but it does not matter. Another surprising truth is, the Bible says, "God made man in His image." And that image is a Grand master--Andre Rieu is the immediate example!
Couldn't agree more...

Nothing is impossible with God. He is a faithful God
So true brother😊🕊
Amen. He is indeed a wonderful God
Tell that to all those people who didn’t want to die on the Titanic 😅
agree 100%
Shut the fuck up, you disgusting cretin. How dare you stand on the corpses of the Titanic to justify your sick hatred of the Lord and his herd?! @bdubzzz69
This was one of my mother’s favorite musicians. I was with each parent when they died, & have also lost 3 brothers. This piece brings memories & tears; thank you, Sir.
I feel with you, i lost my Ma and three brothers, too. I still only have my beloved wife and my 89 yr old Dad.
God bless u
A great loss you have suffered, but you have also shown great love to be with them at their ends!
tears caused by the music is perfectly correct, even me, i am also in tears! praise Jesus. Amen
"Gentlemen, it has been a privilege playing with you tonight."
Here is one of the most beautiful performances of this precious hymn. Thank you +André Rieu for sharing! I hope someday I can attend an André Rieu performance. - From an André Rieu fan in Ohio, USA.
no one else understood the titanic reference lol?
Drewe DeBoer I do and it made me cry.
Yeh, well, at least you did Drewe. =) Maybe the others who left a "like" did too. That part of the movie never fails to move me.
same!
The tune is beautiful enough all on its own, especially with this amazing arrangement. I would have liked the choir to sing the words though instead of just ahhhhh-ing, just to the first verse.
I praise the Lord for this song....I fell the God s presence when I hear it.I am from Brazil.....but I love to hear worship songs in English.Praise the Lord ...He is the God of all my days.
Amen and Amen. Praise the Lord! :D
AMEN!
Amen.
One of the most beautiful renditions of this lovely song that I've ever heard. Thank you, André .
As a person's life comes to a near end, whether on a luxurious ship somewhere or some kind of tragedy or a normal death, God is near to us all. As a Catholic Christian, life on earth will end but we will be resurrected to new life. Always have hope and faith.
This brought me to tears! One of my absolute favorite hymns. ❤
My older brother just passed away last September, 18. He had a long fight with cancer, He achieved so much beautiful things, he taught me how to live, I just wanted to see him become an amazing, helpful, hopeful doctor, I just wanted to see him graduate, I wish I could meet you once again and sleep while you read my favourite book to me, also happy birthday too, Big Brother Mark... miss you, Big Brother Mark, I miss you, Your Younger Sibling, ....God bless him...
So sorry for your lose. God with you
Sorry for ur lost,stay strong ✊🏽
Sincerely sorry for the loss of your brother 🙏
When the soul cries out: Nearer my God to Thee...
That is when the flesh realize: I am in His Hands!
My mom fought cancer hard but she passed away few days back. But i saw her saying jesus and her arms open wide welcoming jesus before death. I hope when my time comes I meet my mom and Jesus I have lot to talk ♥
I'm sorry for your loss. Your mum's spirit or consciousness is always with you. I am absolutely certain you will see her one day. Death is just the end of the body , consciousness Is eternal. Peace to you in your life
Spectacular. So emotional. Everyone there was most likely thinking of that April night in 1912.
This was one of husband's favorites. I played it for him in his last hours, it brought him comfort as he drifted into eternity to suffer no more.
그럼
Your husband was blessed to have you for his wife. He was blessed to drift into eternity while hearing this beautiful hymn. I am glad he is suffering no more, but it must be difficult to be the one left to go on. My belief is that even though it doesn't seem like it, this life is so short and soon it will be his turn to help you drift into eternity and welcome you with open arms. Please accept my sincere sympathies. My wish for you is that the Peace that passes understanding will fill your mind and heart, that you will feel the nearness of God.
creativeplanetjanet Thank you for you kind and comforting words Without God's sweet love and comfort I would never be able to go on without the love of my life. In our marriage we were blessed with children, they and our grandchildren are my joy now.
Es hermoso lo que hiciste por tu pareja...

When I listen to this, I feel that I am ready to leave this cruel world, it brings such peace to my heart and leaves no fear of taking my last breath. In my 51 years of life, I have seen so much pain, hatred and lost many of those whom I have loved so dearly. I cannot wait to go for my last final sleep.
That makes me feel the same way as titanic did on 15 april!
For to Live is Christ and to die is Gain. In Christ, we shall always reign, without end.

This is the music that was played this morning at my father's funeral. We were only two people because of the coronavirus: my brother and I, in addition to the two operators who introduced the coffin into the niche. Raining. This was one of my father's favorite pieces and today it sounded sad and splendid. He would have liked it up there a lot.
Ich weiss nicht, ob Sie mich verstehen. Aber ich versichere Ihnen mein allerherzlichstes Beileid. Möge Ihr Vater in Frieden ruhen.
Vielen Dank
I got tears in my eyes reading this as this is also one of my favorite songs and I feel so sorry and hardened for your loss and that not more people could attend your father‘s funeral! May he rest in peace and you keep his memory alive in your heart in this world! 💙💚

May he rest in peace. Sympathies.
So sorry.
My cousin was lost at sea when his schooner capsized off the coast of Maine. We played this at his service. This happened some years ago, however I still leave the room when this part of Titanic comes on.

Hoy hace 6 años, con mi cuñada en una cama de hospital por un cáncer de mama, y ya en sus últimas horas, le compartí el capítulo 8 de Romanos y terminé con éste himno. Para despedirme, le dije: " Lili, ya me voy.... allá nos vemos" a lo que ella hizo un esfuerzo muy grande por enderezar su cuerpo para decirme: "Si Ale, allá nos vemos." Ella falleció un día después. Gracias a Dios es una verdad que todo aquel que se ha arrepentido delante de Dios y puesto su confianza en Jesucristo como único y suficiente Salvador, un día estaremos juntos alabando a nuestro Dios por su sublime gracia.
Aleluia! 😭
Lo siento hermano que dios la tenga en su gloria y que dios te bendiga
Amém 🙏🏻 😢

Doesn't that go for the whole world Jessie??.....AMEN!!
Doctor Octobrist So certain huh??Well i hope you are wrong,if you are right too,then too bad.
Doctor Octobrist isn't it better to believe and live a righteous life and to find out that God does not exist then to not believe then to find out that He does and to be eternally condemned? I truly believe that God exist and He came in the flesh to show us the way. You might again ask why Jesus, it's because the rest of the world seek "god" and end up with the devil but Jesus came seeking for us so we won't make that mistake. Amen and God loves you very much.
1:12 begins one of the greatest piece of music I have ever heard. Brass players sound amazing together!

@Joseph Novit clearly Alex is and atheist and he has no faith he probably believe evolution I appreciate your prayer for us thank you truly.
Also @Alex Cowell if you never read a book called The Bible at the story Revelation god will send viruses and disasters and those WHO DO THEIR part will be saved and go to our heaven by God and someone called Jesus sure you never heard of him but am sorry am being to religious it’s just this is what will happen in me and Joseph’s religion Christianity ok. Just saying you may not be an atheist but a different religion am just trying to explain what this means to us Christians ok have a wonder full day.
Calm down Alex am trying to do this in a nice way.
May Jesus forgive your sins
And God of course
I lift my eyes to the sky and know that You are the
I lift my hands and touch reality
I will worship You in spirit and truth

This just a tear to my eye . Reading the comments here brought a few more.
Lovely rendition.
This songs reminds me of the TITANIC. ❤ a revival song indeed. Praised be the Lord. ✝️
When I am talking about the artistic beauty of Christendom, I always cite this grand hymn by Sarah Flower Adams as an example of our powerful artistic framework. This song is, without a doubt, one of the greatest artistic productions of the modern western era.
Agreed, Mikael, and this hymn is indelibly etched onto the soul of the West because of the brave men on the Titanic. May God give us the grace and strength to face our own death with such courage and love.
With 35 million views, the song resonates with people all over the world. Beautifully and sensitively played - thank you Andre and your orchestra and singers.
To be nearer my God to Thee is the dearest prayer of my heart and soul. Thank you, Andre, for this beautiful rendition.
Jean Ragland Glory to God In The HIGHEST🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 The message in this precious hymn expresses my heart's desire....to be nearer to my God, and to please and honor Him for He IS SO WORTHY of honor, glory and praise.

"Nearer my God To Thee," and "Amazing Grace" are the two most universally recognized songs. Andre's versions are the very best!
