he printed. a little volume in Dublin in
1759, when he was only 19. Later on,
while at Broad Hembury, he issued a
collection of no fewer than 419 Psalms
and Hymns for Public and Private
Worship, a considerable number of
which were from his own pen. There are
something like 133 hymns attributed to
Toplady, but only a very few of these
have attained to anything. like popular-
ity. Indeed, if we except "flock of

ing that Toplady's hymns have quite
passed into oblivion, or at least are re-

Curiously enough, this favorite hymn
was written by Toplady for a contro-
versial purpose, and it was the NVesleys
against whose doctrine the author de-
sired to protest.
