Lowell Mason composed the tune “Bethany” in 1856. In many parts of the world, it is the musical setting for the hymn, “Nearer, My God, to Thee.” I first heard this hymn in a documentary about the sinking of the Titanic. It is said the ship’s musicians played “Nearer, My God, to Thee” as the ship took on water.
I hope this zither arrangement brings you reflection, comfort, and peace in the midst of whatever you may be experiencing right now!
Indeed, this beautiful and calming song has been and is played around the world.
Translated to many languages. Played on many instruments and in many settings.
