According to a book called Memorials of Hindley (a memoir of daily life in the town of Hindley, Lancashire, published in 1873), the hymn was a favourite of an amateur singer named Timothy Eatock, who used to sing the opening verse as a solo in the local church. This Timothy Eatock was, I believe, my great-great-great-great grandfather.
