Brady, Nicholas, an English divine, was
born at Bandon, County Cork, Ireland,
October 28, 1659; was educated at Westminster,
Oxford, and Trinity College, Dublin.
He was a Prebendary of Cork, Ireland.
In 1702-05 he was incumbent at
Stratford. Later, while incumbent
at Richmond, he taught school in addition
to his ministerial work. He died
May 20, 1726. He published two volumes
of poetry, one being a translation of Virgil's
Aeneid. His association with
Nahum Tate
in making a New Version of the
Psalms of David, 1696, which long held a
dominant place in the Church of England,
has given him a permanent and honored
place in the history of hymnology. From
this Version we have four selections:
| As pants the hart for cooling streams |
316 |
| O Lord, our fathers oft have told |
700 |
| To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost |
720 |
| While shepherds watched their flocks |
115 |
