Nearer My God to Thee - arr. Zach Peycha
This arrangement of this Christian hymn “Nearer My God to Thee” based on BYU Vocal Point's performance creates a feeling that is less about peace and more about the struggles in life that bring us closer to God. This song is also associated with the sinking of the RMS Titanic, as some survivors later reported that the ship's string ensemble played the hymn as the vessel sank. Here are the associated texts:
“At the moment of death
My strength is from heaven
God helping, nothing should be feared
For ever
Direct us, O Lord
To high places by narrow roads
Such is the path to the stars
Ever upward”more
