 HIS hymn has a remarkable history. The au- 
 thor, Sarah Fuller Flower, wife of William 
 Bridges Adams, an eminent EngHsh engineer, 
 contributed it (with others) to a small coUec. 
 tion made for a chapel in London. A copy 
 of this collection found its way to Pittsburg, Pa., and Dr. 
 Clarke took " Nearer, My God, to Thee " for the " Service 
 Book." From this it was taken for the " Plymouth Collec- 
 tion," and in a short time was added to nearly all hymn- 
 books. It is sung to the tune of " Bethany," not only in the 
 churches of England and America, but on the continent of 
 Europe and at all missionary stations, for there is not a lan- 
 guage into which it has not been translated. Mrs. Adams 
 did not live to see its popularity, dying of consumption a 
 few years after writing it (1849).
