Watts, Isaac (1674–1748), hymn-writer. He was pastor of the
Independent congregation at Mark Lane, London; from 1703 his health deteriorated and he resigned in 1712. In his later years he seems to have inclined towards
Unitarianism. His hymns reflect his strong and serene faith; they did much to make hymn-singing a powerful devotional force, especially in Nonconformity, where the use of music in worship had been regarded with suspicion. They include ‘When I survey the wondrous Cross’ and ‘Our God, our help in ages past’. In CW, feast day, 25 Nov.
