WeVe Marching to Zioii
A, boy raiset th* in of hit father . k
Deacon Enoch Watt* pkknd up a stick. Evary
tims he had told his scrawny little son to do some-
thing the boy had replied with a rhyme. Every
time he asked Isaac a question, the boy a*w»« back
with an answer all rhymed out
That bad been going on ever since toe dwarf
like ugly youth wrote a 14-line poem when he was
7 years old Now Isaac was' ini his teens and the
Deacon had had enough. He was going to break
the boy of rhyming his every day conversation or
flail the daylights out of him. ,
Watts Sr advanced menacingly with his stick.
Isaac raised his arm and shrugged away. The
Deacon raised the stick. Isaac cried out “O father
do some pity take, and I will no more verses
make!” History does not record what happened next
But whatever happened, Isaac Watts was still
alive on a Sunday In 1692 when he attended a Non-
Conformist Church In Southampton with his father.
He was 18 then. Everybody sang the Psalms that
Sunday . . . everybody, that Is, except Isaac Watts.
"Why didn't you sing the Psalms?” the old man de
manded after the church service. "Because they
don't rhyme, that's why,” the rebellious youth re
plied.
Come, we that love the Lord,
And let our joy* be known,
Jom in o song with sweet accord.
And thus surround the throne.
Let those refuse to sing
Who never knew our God;
But children of the heavenly King,
May speak their joys abroad.
The hill of Zion yields
A thousand sacred sweets
write something that does rhyme !f‘ ytm
think you're mnartor than King David,” the staid old
deacon bellowed. Isaac Watts accepted the ehal-
lanse. That afternoon he wrote:
"Behold the glories of the Lamb
Amidst his Esther’s throne;
Prepare new honors for his nsm^,
And songs before unknown.”
During the week he finished his first hymn Tbs
following Sunday he gave it to the church clerk and
the clerk read it, fine by line, while the congrega
tion sang after him Isaac Watts had to bring in a*
rhymed-out song every Sunday for two years.
In 1707 Watts collected his “hymns of human
composure" into a book titled “Hymns And Spirit
ual Songs.” Other editions followed In all, he wrote
650 hymns . . . mostly paraphrases of the Psalms.
The die was cast And Isaac Watts had gone down
In history aa The Father of the English Hymn."
Thus we sing “hymns of human composure'' to
day. But we might still be singing the Psalms had
not a scrawny little five-foot youth raised the Ire of
his father 24 centuries ago. This is one of Watts’
first hymns.
Before we reeffch the heavenly fields.
Or walk aolden streets.
Then let our songs abound,
And every tear be dry,
We re marching thro' Imihanuel's ground.
To fairer worlds on high.
(Chorus)
We're marching to Zion,
Beautiful, beautiful Zion;
W re marching upward to Zion,
The beautiful city of God.
