About the Hymn's Author:
Isaac Watts, born July 17, 1674, was an English Christian minister of the Congregational church, hymn writer, theologian, and logician. He was a productive and popular hymn writer and is credited with roughly 750 hymns. He is recognized as the "Godfather of English Hymnody"; many of his hymns remain in use today and have been translated into numerous languages.
Watts led a change in hymnal style by including new poetry for "original songs of Christian experience" to be used in worship. The older tradition was based on the poetry of the Bible: the Psalms.
Watts also introduced a new way of using the Psalms in verse for church services, suggesting that they be adapted for hymns with a specifically Christian perspective. As Watts put it in the title of his 1719 metrical Psalter, the Psalms should be "imitated in the language of the New Testament."
