A Sunday morning hymn written by Elizabeth Prentiss. A season of personal tragedy gave birth to this hymn, and Elizabeth found inspiration in Sarah Adams' "Nearer, My God, to Thee." The two hymns share the same meter and are very similar in poetic structure. The two are so similar, in fact, that when I was recording this, I was certain that a verse was missing that started, "Then let the way appear steps unto heaven." However, that lyric is from "Nearer, My God, to Thee."

Lyrics are included, so please lift your voice and sing along.
