Biography
Isaac Watts is recognised as the "Father of English Hymnody", as he was the first prolific and popular English writer of Christian lyrics. He is credited with the words of around 750 hymns, many of them taken from his paraphrases of the Psalms. He also wrote a book of Hymns and Spiritual Songs, which has been widely used as well. Many of his hymns remain in active use today and have been translated into many languages.
