The name Isaac Watts is known the world over and this book will enable readers to sing his hymns with greater appreciation.
For 150 years, English Protestants had restricted themselves to singing only the Psalms in public worship, while poets and hymn writers wrote for private devotion. Isaac Watts was the catalyst and liberator who not only ushered hymn singing back into congregational life, but also insisted that the Psalms be sung in the light of the New Testament gospel. This volume brings together his two most famous collections, Psalms of David Imitated in the Language of the New Testament and Hymns and Spiritual Songs, including Watts' own interpretive footnotes, his explanatory prefaces, and a small set of tunes from the era. All together, these features represent Watts' masterpieces in a way that hasn't been seen in print since his death.These hymns have been pervasive through many movements of Christian worship, adapted into the "Dr. Watts" lined-out singing of the deep south, incorporated into shape-note tunebooks, set to enduring tunes by singing school, Sunday School, and gospel composers, and embraced by modern songwriters looking to set classic hymns to new music. On these pages, you will find timeless texts like "Joy to the world," "When I survey the wondrous cross," "I love the Lord, he heard my cries," and many others.
Excerpt from An Arrangement of the Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs of Isaac Watts The tunes named over each Psalm and Hymn are such as have received the approbation of some of the best judges of music. For the selection of them, the subscriber acknowledges himself chiefly indebted to Mr. Jonathan Huntington, s teacher of music, who cheerfully undertook the task at the request of the Standing Committee of the Handel and Haydn Society in this town.
