About the Hymn's Author:

Matthew Bridges was born in Essex, England on 14 July 1800, the youngest son of John Bridges of Maldon, Essex and brother of the Reverend Charles Bridges, a priest of the Church of England. He matriculated at Magdalen Hall, Oxford in 1831.

Matthew Bridges' career as an author began with his poem Jerusalem Regained at the age of 25 in 1825. Although in his early life Bridges (who was raised in a Church of England environment) was skeptical of Roman Catholicism as evidenced by his 1828 book The Roman Empire Under Constantine the Great, the influence of John Henry Cardinal Newman led him to convert to Roman Catholicism in 1848 at the age of 48, a faith to which he adhered for the remaining four-and-a-half decades of his life.

Some of the more popular hymns written by Bridges include:

Behold the Lamb of God! O Thou for sinners slain
Crown Him with Many Crowns
Man of sorrows, wrapt in grief
My God, accept my heart this day

Later in life, Bridges lived for a time in Quebec, Canada, but returned to England and died in Sidmouth, Devon on 6 October 1894 at the age of 94. He is buried there in the cemetery of the Convent of the Assumption.
