About this Hymn
This Scottish hymn, by minister William Paton Mackay in 1863, was inspired by his own journey of returning to renewed faith. Despite his own successful life, the witness of people on their deathbeds challenged him to study his Bible and return to the faith of his parents. It reflects a wider movement that was taking place in Scotland at the time; as we sing it, it is a prayer both for us in our own lethargy and for the culture around us.
