Text:
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 giv’n;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee!

[@agarber1932]

I did not care for the arranement. It was not faithful to the spirit of the original. What is with the weird harmonies?

[@pbusselberg]

Thank you for your feedback. This arrangement was written for the 2022 Barbershop Festival held at Brigham Young University-Idaho, and is meant to reflect the sounds and styles used by some Barbershop choruses currently.

sorry, not a very well balanced choir!
