The text for this beloved Christian hymn by Sarah F. Adams and Lowell Mason is based on "Jacob’s ladder" or "Jacob’s dream" in Genesis 28, in which Jacob dreams of a ladder that reaches up to heaven. The hymn’s verses express the longing that Jacob - and Christians everywhere - have to draw nearer to God. Ginger’s arrangement is well-loved, and has nearly 1 million listens on Spotify. Like the text, the arrangement is reflective, hopeful, and ultimately comforting, reminding the listener of the verse, "Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down, Darkness be over me, my rest a stone, Yet in my dreams I’d be, nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!" Intermediate pianists will want to add this uplifting arrangement to their repertoire, as it’s appropriate for both worship services and funerals.
