Synopsis
Excerpt from An Historical and Biographical Sketch of the Hymn "Nearer My God to Thee" Its Author, and the Poet Robert Browning's Relation to Its Composition
In Christ my soul shall be Nearest my God to Thee, Nearest to Thee.
The Rev. Dr. Whitley \calls attention to The fact that the Trus tees were not satisfied with the hymn, as Miss Sarah Flower wrote it, and asked the Editor to write a final verse, but I am glad to say that our standard book, the 'baptist Church Hymnal, ' ignores the addition.
