Nearer My God to Thee This hymn was played as The Titanic was sinking, and this incident was depicted in the movie “Titanic.” Verse 1 is: “Nearer my God to thee, nearer to thee. E’en though it be a cross that raises me, still all my song shall be, nearer my God to thee.” At the River The hymn is “Shall We Gather at the River” (#723 in our hymnal). Verse 1 and the refrain are: Shall we gather at the river, where bright angel feet have trod, with its crystal tide forever flowing by the throne of God? Yes we’ll gather at the river, the beautiful, the beautiful river. Gather with the saints at the river that flows by the throne of God. It is inspired by Revelation 22:1-5… And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. We’re Marching to Zion The hymn, “Marching to Zion”, was written by Robert Lowry in 1867 (along with some inspiration from Isaac Watts). It’s on page 733 of our hymnal. Here’s verse 1 and the refrain: “Come we that love the Lord, and let our joys be known; We’re marching to Zion, beautiful, beautiful Zion. We’re marching upward to Zion, the beautiful city of God.” Faith of Our Fathers This is #710 in our hymnal. Here’s verse 1 and the refrain: Faith of our Fathers, living still, in spite of dungeon, fire and sword; “Faith of our fathers, holy faith! We will be true to thee till death.” Follow, Follow This is from the hymn, “Where He Leads Me” (#338 in our hymnal). The first verse and refrain are: “I can hear my Savior calling. I can hear my Savior calling. I can hear my Savior calling, ‘Take thy cross and follow, follow me.” Where He leads me I will follow. Where he leads me I will follow. Where he leads me I will follow; I’ll go with him, with him, all the way.” It’s inspired by Matthew 8:19-22… 19 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 21 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
