We’re interviewing special guest, Chris Fenner, the creator and managing editor of Hymnology Archive. We’re continuing our countdown to Easter with him as we discuss Isaac Watts’s hymn ‘Alas! And Did My Saviour Bleed?’ We talk about Isaac Watts’s significant influence on English hymnody, the importance of maintaining doctrine even if we tweak a hymn’s lyrics, and the complicated history of the hymn tune. All that and more!
You can find Chris online at Hymnology Archive. We highly recommend this site as a resource for those who want to know more about hymns and the stories behind them and those who wrote them.
