Liedtekst

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 (For ever)
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)

Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee!
E'en though it be a cross
That raiseth me.

There let the way appear,
Steps unto heav’n;
All that thou sendest me,
In mercy giv’n;

Still all my song shall be
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee!

Though like the wanderer,
The sun gone down,
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone,

Angels to beckon me
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,
Upward I fly!
