Isaac Watts was a child prodigy and grew up in the Puritan church. He found the hymns they sang boring and his father challenged him to write something better. So, he did.
It is said he wrote "We're Marching to Zion" to shame those who left church early because they thought singing hymns as opposed to singing Psalms was frivolous. The second verse is especially telling. It says, "Let those refuse to sing who never knew our God..."
He wrote something like 600 hymns and published a number of hymnals.
Among some of Isaac Watts' most well-beloved and popular hymns are: Joy to the World; 0 God Our Help in Ages Past, based on Ps. 90; When I Survey the Wondrous Cross, from St. Paul's admonition in Galatians 6:14; Alas and Did My Savior Bleed also known as, "At the Cross."
