The setting of the hymn, "Nearer, My God, to Thee," by Sarah F. Adams, is Genesis 28. Stanzas 2, 3, and 4 are most appropriate.

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.

There let the way appear Steps unto hea v'n:
All that thou sendest me In mercy giv'n;
Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee.
