He was a prolific and popular hymn writer and is credited with some 750 hymns. His works include "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross", "Joy to the World", and "Our God, Our Help in Ages Past". He is recognized as the "Godfather of English Hymnody"; many of his hymns remain in use today and have been translated into numerous languages. |
Acquire a government over your ideas, that they may come down when they are called, and depart when they are bidden.
Learning to trust is one of life's most difficult tasks.
I would not change my blest estate for all the world calls good or great.
