Description
I have introduced you to several of John Fawcett’s writings – especially his sermons and devotional works. But he was also a fine hymn writer. Several of his better productions are still sung today. He believed in singing psalms and hymns in public worship, not merely for private edification. The Baptist churches in his day, that is in the latter 1700’s, would have predominantly sung the psalms and hymns of Isaac Watts. His song books were very popular. But as Baptists and others began to also pen hymns for worship, new collections were desired. And of course, a section of hymns for the ordinance of believer’s baptism was needed for their churches.
