William Knapp was the composer of the music for this hymn. He was born in 1698, Wareham, Dorsetshire, England and died September 26, 1768, Poole, Dorsetshire, England. He is buried in Poole, Dorsetshire, England.
Knapp was a parish clerk at St. John’s Church in Poole for four decades. Some of his publications include:
“A Set of New Psalms and Anthems in Four Parts” (London:1738).
“New Church Melody and a Set of Anthems, Psalms and Hymns in Four Parts”(London:1753).
Intra-Congregational sniping was a phenomenon of that day whereby poems or words written against someone could appear in a newspaper or magazine. This verse appeared in the “London Magazine” in 1742 by one H. Pierce about Knapp and George Savage, who was the sexton (custodian) of Knapp’s congregation.
“From pounce and paper, ink and pen,
Save me, O Lord, I pray;
From Pope and Swift, and such like men,
And Cibber’s annual lay;
From doctors’s bills and lawyer’s fees,
From ague, gout, and trap;
And what is ten times worse than these,
George savage and Will Knapp. ”

“Thou wouldst that we in spirit come
To burn the incense thru our prayer. ”
“And another Angel came and stood at the altar having a golden censer, and much incense was given to Him to offer with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. ” Rev. 8:3
“... and golden bowls full of incense, which bowls are the prayers of the saints. ” Rev. 5:8
Incense, signifies Christ with all His merits to be added to the prayers of the saints that the saints’ prayer offered upon the golden altar might be acceptable to God, (Rev. 8:3, footnote 4, incense)
