The Scandalous History of ’Nearer My God to Thee’ | Hymnpartial E013

We're back on the hymns this week with the somewhat controversial song, Nearer My God to Thee. In this episode, you'll find several sinking ships (literally), and a Cliffnotes introduction to Unitarianism as the ladies discuss this poetic hymn.

Is it ok to sing hymns potentially written by unbelievers if the lyrics are biblical? Is Nearer My God to Thee poetic or merely sentimental? And was there room on that board for Leonardo DiCaprio? What do you think?
