#OTD Isaac #Watts, #Hymnwriter, died.
The #Godfather of #English Hymnody #Wrote: O God our Help in Ages Past & #Joy to the #World.
Isaac didn't set #Scripture to #Song; he wrote original #Verse:We are a #Garden walled around,
#Chosen and made peculiar ground;
A little spot enclosed by #Grace
Out of the world's wide #Wilderness.Awake, O, #Heavenly #Wind! And come,
Blow on this #Garden of #Perfume;
#Spirit divine! descend & breathe
A gracious #Gale on #Plants beneath. -
