Sarah Flower Adams was a British actress who received praise for her performance in an 1837 production of Shakespeare's Macbeth. 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. The hymn was originally set to music written by her sister, Eliza Flower, but another hymn-tune called "BETHANY," written by Lowell Mason in 1856, has become most widely recognized and is most familiar to listeners today. Good.
