* Refrain
Latin part
Lyric Translation
Afrikaans part
Moderato espressivo
Moderate tempo, expressive
Imagine Titanic sinking
(Supposedly the String Quartet aboard the Titanic played this song as it sank)
In articulo mortis
caelitus mihi vires
Deo adjuvante non timendum
In perpetuum dirige nos Domine
Ad augusta
per angusta excelsior.
Nader, my God, by U, nog naderby!
Al is daar ook 'n kruis nodig vir my!
Dan sal my lied nog klink:*
Nader, my God, by U!*
Staar op na die hemel:
Waar kom my hulp vandaan?
U genade, Heer!
Al gaan ek ver op reise,
bly ek aan U!
Al moet ook snags my hoof
rus op 'n steen!
Dan bring my drome my nader aan U!
At the moment of death
my strength is from heaven
With God's help nothing should be feared
Forever direct us, O Lord
To high places
by narrow roads ever upward.
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!*
Staring at the sky,
Where does my help come from?
Your grace, Lord!
Although I travel far,
I keep to Thee!
Darkness be over me,
my rest a stone!
Yet in my dreams, I'd be nearer to Thee!
