Philip
Doddridge,
D.
D.,
the
author
of
this
hymn,
was
born
in
London
in
1702,
over
two
hundred
years
ago.
He
was
a
scholar
of
high
attainments;
was
ordained
to
the
Nonconformist
ministry;
was
an
English
Congregationalist,
and
for
many
years
was
pastor
of
one
of
these
churches-from
1829
to
the
time
of
his
death,
1852.
He
was
a
great
pulpit
orator
and
theologian.
He
composed
many
standard
hymns
and
high-class
sacred
music.
This
tune
is
credited
to
Bradshaw
in
the
"
Southern
Harmony,"
page
40,
and
published
in
1835,
and
refers
to
"
Baptist
Harmony,"
page
139.
No
doubt
it
was
composed
at
an
earlier
date
than
this.
It
was
printed
in
the
"
Sacred
Harp,"
by
White
and
King,
in
1844,
and
in
each
revision
up
to
1869.

There
are
two
accounts
of
the
date
of
this
hymn.
The
"
Baptist
Hymnal,"
printed
in
1837,
gives
the
date
in
1707.
The
"
National
Hymn
Book
of
the
United
States
"
of
1893
fixes
the
date
of
composition
in
1762.
We
are
inclined
to
believe
the
latter
date
is
the
correct
one.
