This
hymn
originally
had
eight
stanzas,
and
the
title
was
"For
The
Lord's
Day,
Morning."
It
represents
Dr.
Watts'
idea
of
the
Psalm
above,
and
it
is
referred
to
in
the
works
of
hymnology
as
one
of
the
standard
hymns
of
this
gifted,
fluent
writer.
He
was
born
in
1674
and
died
in
1748.
The
composer
of
the
melody
is
un-
known,
as
no
trace
has
been
kept
of
its
authorship.

Harmony,
