Nearer My God to Thee was written by Sarah Flower Adams in the 1800s. The hymn was inspired by The Bible passage Genesis 28:11-19. This hymn is famous for the likely untrue story that it was the final song the Titanic's band played as the ship sank.
The phrase "Nearer, My God, to Thee" is actually the title of a 19th-century Christian hymn. It was written by Sarah Flower Adams. This song was played in the movie "Titanic" when the ship was sinking.

No one knows for sure. There have been claims for several tunes, including "Londonderry Air," "Nearer My God, to Thee," a sentimental waltz called "Songe d'Automne" ("Dream of Autumn"), or the hymn "Autumn." The most likely candidate is probably "Nearer My God, to Thee," since that was the conductor's favorite hymn and he had mentioned at an earlier time that if he were aboard a sinking ship he would assemble the musicians and have them play either "O God Our Help in Ages Past" or "Nearer My God to Thee."See Titanic: Destination Disaster: The Legends and the Reality, by John P. Eaton and Charles A. Haas, pp. 31 - 32.
Nearer My God To Thee was the last song played on the Titanic before she sunked
It's not entirely clear what the final song actually was. Most of the survivors reported hearing the band play "Nearer my God to Thee," a hymn which would have certainly been appropriate for the final moments of a sinking ship. Yet, at the time, the hymn was played to several different melodies. The British would have recognized the "Horbury" melody as "Nearer my God to Thee," while the Americans would have recognized the "Bethany" melody, and yet both British and American survivors reported hearing "Nearer My God to Thee" as the final song. Titanic's junior wireless operateor Harold Bride told the New York Times, while aboard the rescue ship Carpathia soon after the catastrophe, that the final song was "Autumn," likely referencing the popular waltz at the time "Songe d'Automne."

Yes, you do. That is right; the normal spelling convention is to capitalize all pronouns that refer to God, which includes the pronoun thee, if you are addressing God. Nearer, my God, to Thee.
No particular song, they were just playing ragtime tunes until they could no longer stand upright, to keep the passenger's spirits up. The story that they were playing 'Nearer, My God To Thee' or the hymn 'Autumn' is a myth- they weren't.
