(1st violin and viola Kasia, 2nd violin Alina, cello Julian , vocals Kasia, Emil & Mayra Haroldsen; Lyrics by Sarah F. Adams music by M. Lowell)

Sung in English

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. 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. Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee!

There let the way appear, steps unto Heav’n; All that Thou sendest me, in mercy given; Angels to beckon me nearer, my God, to Thee. Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee!
