Nearer, My God, to Thee: BYU Vocal Point’s best-selling song on iTunes performed here with the BYU Men’s Chorus. James Stevens’s arrangement of this Christian hymn creates a feeling that is less about peace and more about the struggles in life that bring us closer to God.

LATIN TEXT:
In articulo mortis
Caelitus mihi vires
Deo adjuvante non timendum
In perpetuum
Dirige nos domine
Ad augusta per angusta
Sic itur ad astra
Excelsior

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
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
