The Band played Nearer My God to Thee as the Ship Went Down
Titanic Sheet Music
In Memory of the Heroes of the Ill-Fated TitanicWords by Mark Bean |
 |
| On a peaceful night Thro' the starlight bright There a good ship plowed her way, She was heading straight For the port of fate, Ere the breaking of the day. Now our lips are stilled, And our eyes are filled, And our hearts with sorrow torn, But we'll sing of the brave, And lives they gave, For the Loved ones left to mourn. |
There the brave men stood, As true heroes should, With their hearts in faith sublime, And there names shall be fond memory Until the end of Time, And the band was bravely playing, The song of the Cross and Crown: "Nearer my God to Thee", As the ship went down. |
There's no story told | |
