By Markus Dreja. By Lowell Mason (1792-1872). Arranged by Markus Dreja. Christian,Classical,Praise & Worship,Religious,Sacred. Score. 3 pages. Markus Dreja #1087296. Published by Markus Dreja (A0.1512245).
"Näher, mein Gott, zu dir" ist einer der bekanntesten christlichen Choräle. Er basiert auf dem Gedicht "Nearer, My God, to Thee" der englischen Dichterin Sarah Flower Adams von 1841. Das Gedicht wurde mit verschiedenen Melodien vertont, die bekannteste ist Bethany von Lowell Mason. Der Choral wird vor allem in der englischsprachigen Welt häufig bei Begräbnissen gesungen oder gespielt und spätestens seit dem Film Titanic in aller Munde. Biblischer Hintergrund des Textes ist die Erzählung von Jakobs Traum von der Himmelsleiter im 1. Buch Mose. Jakob hat sich auf einem Stein schlafen gelegt und erfährt durch die Traumvision Stärkung in schwerer Bedrängnis. Er nennt den Ort Bet-El (Bethel), Haus Gottes (Gen 28,10–19 EU).
“Näher mein Gott zu dir” is one of the most famous Christian hymns. It is based on the 1841 poem "Nearer, My God, to Thee" by the English poet Sarah Flower Adams. The poem was set to music with various melodies, the best known being Bethany by Lowell Mason. The chant is often sung or played at funerals, especially in the English-speaking world, and has been on everyone's lips since the film Titanic. The biblical background of the text is the story of Jacob's dream of the ladder to heaven in Genesis. Jacob has gone to sleep on a stone and finds strength in his severe distress through the dream vision. He calls the place Bet-El (Bethel), house of God (Gen 28:10-19 EU).
