A Cappella Group Performs 'Nearer, My God, To Thee'

Listen to this beautiful a cappella performance of the hymn ‘Nearer, My God, To Thee’ sung by BYU’s Vocal Point men’s chorus.

“Nearer, My God, to Thee: BYU Vocal Point's best-selling song on iTunes performed here with the BYU Men's Chorus,” reads the caption of this video. “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.”

The talented men in this video do a stunning job singing this song, and their performance will completely mesmerize you. Just listen to their amazing version of this classic hymn!

The members of the group are singing in Latin at some points of the song, and the English translation of the Latin words are listed in the caption of the video. “At the moment of death, my strength is from heaven, God helping, nothing should be feared. Forever direct us, O Lord, to high places by narrow roads, such is the path to the stars, ever upward.”

“Honestly, I simply can't get enough of this! Excellent arrangement! Magnificent execution all round!” writes one person on YouTube after watching the video. “Sigh, let me play it one more time!”

“This is absolutely beautiful,” comments another person online. “What a great piece of music, performed wonderfully. Incredible arrangement! I think it would be inspirational to anybody, whether religious or not, simply by way of the beauty of the music and the performance.”

It is great to also see the men in the a cappella group smiling while they are singing the song, showing that they all are enjoying themselves while performing this wonderful hymn.

We hope that you enjoyed listening to this amazing version of ‘Nearer, My God, To Thee’ and that it was able to uplift your spirits today!
