More Love to Thee Christian Background Music History in short.

“More Love to Thee” emerged out of a time of personal tragedy. During the 1850s, the Prentisses lost a child and shortly thereafter a second. Through her grief she confided in her diary, “Empty hands, a worn-out, exhausted body, and unutterable longings to flee from a world that has so many sharp experiences.” Inspired by Sarah Adams’ hymn, “Nearer, My God, to Thee,” Prentiss began to write her own hymn in an almost identical metrical pattern.

She had been reflecting on Jacob’s struggles in Genesis 28:10-22 and found Adams’ hymn on this same theme to be of comfort. In the Genesis narrative of Jacob’s experience at Bethel, Jacob was a traveler who, finding a stone for a pillow one night, had a dream of angels ascending and descending a ladder. Following his dream he builds an altar at Beth-El (God’s house) out of the stone on which he had slept and anointed it with oil.
