Adams' evocative words express a deep longing for closeness to God, even in times of suffering and despair. The hymn gained widespread popularity and has been associated with various notable events, including the sinking of the Titanic, where it was famously reported to be the final song played by the ship's band. Its enduring melody and heartfelt lyrics continue to resonate with worshippers around the world, making it a staple in many religious services and memorials.
