I found this series of well done short videos telling the stories of some 18th century hymns and hymnwriters - hope you enjoy them as much as I have. :hatsoff:
Isaac Watts
"Recognized as the "Father of English Hymnody", Watts was the first prolific and popular English hymnwriter, credited with some 750 hymns. Many of his hymns remain in active use today and have been translated into many languages."
Charles Wesley
"The lives that we admire tend to be those that give everything they have for the cause of their mission. Despite weariness and exhaustion they fight and persevere until the very end. Such was the life of Charles Wesley, author of thousands of hymns in his lifetime, many of which we still sing today."
John Newton (Amazing Grace)
William Cowper (There Is A Fountain)
Robert Robinson (Come Thou Fount)
