Hymn of the Month: Nearer, My God, To Thee (The Catholic Verses)
July 3, 2026 - 3:33pm — Don9of11
Did Catholics once sing a different version of Nearer, My God, to Thee?
For nearly seventy years, American Catholic hymnals replaced Sarah Adams' famous text with a unique Sacred Heart adaptation that reshaped the hymn into a powerful prayer of devotion and reparation.
Join me this month as we uncover this forgotten chapter of Catholic hymnody and explore how one of Christianity's most beloved melodies became a vehicle for catechesis through melody and Eucharistic faith.
