The picture you see here is an artist rendering created from pictures and radar images of the R.M.S. Titanic as she rests today. The first time I saw this picture, I was moved to great sadness of her condition. This once great ocean liner, the "unsinkable" Titanic, lay in ruin on the ocean floor.

In my mind, I had the horrible thoughts of her passengers, in a panic, as she slipped in to the icy waters of the North Atlantic in the early morning hours of April 15, 1912. Then from somewhere in the back of my mind. I remembered the story of how the band was playing music to calm the passengers. Right up until she violently began to plunge to the depths below.

The music you hear is Nearer, my God, to Thee. It is believed to be the final song played by the band as this great ship slipped into the ocean.

TO THEM AND ALL THE SOULS LOST ON THE R.M.S. TITANC,

Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to Thee!
Even though it be a cross
That raiseth me;
Still all my song shall be...
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 to thee!

There let the way appear,
Steps unto heaven;
All that thou sendest me
In mercy given;
Angels to beckon me...
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee!

Then with my waking thoughts
Bright with Thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs
Bethel I'll raise;
So by my woes to be...
Nearer, my God,to thee
Nearer to thee!

Or if on joyful wing,
Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon and stars forgot,
Upward I fly;
Still all my song shall be...
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to Thee.
