He was associated with another Irish minister named Nicholas Brady (1659-1726) in making a new metrical version of the Psalms. It was used chiefly in the Established Church. King William III made him Poet Laureate. He composed a birthday ode for George I, but left this scene August 12, 1715.
“Oh, render thanks to God above,
The fountain of eternal love,
Whose mercy firm through ages past
Hath stood, and doth forever last.
“The Father’s boundless love we sing,
The fountain whence our blessings spring.
How great the depth, how high it flows,
No saint can tell, no angel knows.”
