Sing a New Song: The Story of Isaac Watts

Isaac Watts wrote more than 650 hymns during his lifetime, many of which are still known and loved today. If you've ever sung "Joy to the World" at Christmas, or "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross" at Easter, then you've sung the words of Isaac Watts. During his life, many people denounced Watts for tampering with the traditional music of the church, but he was convinced it was time to sing a new song. Join us on this Day of Discovery for the fascinating story of Isaac Watts, the man who is known as the father of the English hymn.
