Sarah Flower Adams wrote Nearer, My God, to Thee in 1841. It was later
set to the 1854 tune "Bethany" by Lowell Mason. The song retells
the story of Jacob's dream found in Genesis 28: 11-12.
This setting takes its departure from the fifth verse
Or if on joyful wing, cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upwards I fly
Along with the image of flight, the music also imagines a joyful 19th
century revival meeting, complete with dancing, preaching, soulful
exclamations and high spirited worship.
