Nearer My God, To Thee l One of the sweetest song. In the Titanic last sinking scene it move me.

Sarah Flower Adams was a British actress who received praise for her performance in an 1837 production of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. After health problems disrupted her plans to continue with theater, she found comfort in writing poems and hymns. Her most notable hymn, “Nearer, My God, to Thee,” came about in 1841 when Adam’s pastor was looking for a hymn for the following week’s sermon on Genesis 28:11-19, which is referred to by many as “Jacob’s ladder,” or “Jacob’s dream.” Adams offered to write the hymn and completed it within a week to go along with the pastor’s sermon.  Since the music and text were paired together, the hymn has been featured in many television shows and movies. Perhaps the most famous is 1997’s Titanic, in a scene that is said to mirror the actual event of the ship&band playing “Nearer, My God, to Thee,” while the Titanic was sinking. Whatever the final, final piece they played, &my God, to thee&has been immortalised in the narrative of that tragic day in 1912 – largely due to it featuring in film retellings, including James Cameron&1997 epic, Titanic, starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio. ________________________________________ Lyrics 1.
