Rev. E.W. Blandly, a Salvation Army officer in New York City, following his immigration from the U.K., wrote this song after choosing between a comfortable post at an established church, and an alternate assignment to the New York City waterfront and slum called Hell's Kitchen. He chose the latter. Music by J.S. Norris in 1892. Matthew 16:24-26

When Isaac Watts wrote these words in 1707, they were equivalent to what we know today as "Contemporary Christian Music". However, the music we sing today didn't emerge for over a century later (1824 to be exact) when Dr. Lowell Mason added the music. According to "Hymnary.org", this classic hymn has been published nearly 2,000 times.
