Joseph
Hart
was
born
in
1712
and
died
in
1768.
After
being
a
backslider
from
his
early
religious
training,
he
heard
John
Wesley
preach
in
1757.
He
became
converted,
and
began
at
once
to
preach
himself,
and
continued
up
to
the
time
of
his
death.
He
composed
a
large
number
of
valuable
hymns,
and
published
religious
works.
This
tune
is
one
of
the
old
melodies,
but
none
of
the
books
we
have
seen
give
the
date
or
the
name
of
the
author
of
the
music.
