Nearer my God to Thee. - Hymn.

When the 'Titanic' liner was sinking after hitting an iceberg, on April 15, 1912, there was chaos on board. The luxury liner's band however played one last time as the ship was going down. The tune was 'Nearer my God to Thee'. The Sinhalese epithet 'Nava gillath bang chune' came referring to this incident.
Here is the hymn being sung by an artist:-
