Please enjoy this full version. This is the song the band played before the Titanic sank.

"Sometime around 2.10 a.m. as the Titanic began settling more quickly into the icy North Altantic, the sounds of ragtime, familiar dance tunes and popular waltzes that had floated reassuringly across her decks suddenly stopped as Bandmaster Wallace Hartley tapped his bow against his violin. Hartley and his musicians, all wearing their lifebelts now, were standing back at the base of the second funnel, on the roof of the First Class Lounge, where they had been playing for the better part of an hour. There were a few moments of silence, then the solemn strains of the hymn "Nearer My God to Thee" began drifting across the water. It was with a perhaps unintended irony that Hartley chose a hymn that pleaded for the mercy of the Almighty, as the ultimate material conceit of the Edwardian Age, the ship that "God Himself couldn't sink," foundered beneath his feet. As the band played, the slant of the deck grew steeper, while from within the hull came a rapidly increasing number of thuds, bangs and crashes as interior furnishings broke loose, walls and partitions collapsed--the Titanic was only moments from breaking apart."

I play this now, drunk, reminiscing on my life that's going down the drain. Nearer my god to thee, pity I'm an Atheist.

This song makes me remind about the Titanic before it sank. What a fantastic classical piece of music.

Close, but the actual version of Nearer My God to Thee, Nearer to Thee was the Proprior Deo, a popular Methodist hymn that the two remaining band members knew very well. Wallace Harvey even has the first measure or so of this version on his tombstone.

Lyrics in English is as follows: 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, Chorus: Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down,Darkness be over me, my rest a stone;Yet in my dreams I'd be nearer, my God, to Thee, etc. There let the way appear steps unto heav'n;All that Thou sendest me in mercy giv'n;Angels to beckon me nearer, my God, to Thee, etc. Then with my waking thoughts bright with Thy praise,Out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise;So by my woes to be nearer, my God, to Thee, etc. Or if on joyful wing, cleaving the sky,Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upwards I fly,Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee, etc.AN obscure sixth was added: There in my Father’s home, safe and at rest,There in my Savior’s love, perfectly blest;Age after age to be, nearer my God to Thee, etcby Edward Henry Bickersteth Jr. This hymn has been covered many times over, including the 3 Irish Tenors from the 1990's. Beautiful, rapturous and sad. "Nearer, My God, to Thee" is a 19th-century Christian hymn by Sarah Flower Adams, based loosely on Genesis 28:11–19,[1] the story of Jacob's dream. It is haunting, no matter how you dissect it. Peace/Shalom
