As a minister of the (Swedenborgian) New Church, he gathered large congregations in Birmingham, Manchester, and London. His first volume of 300 hymns appeared in 1790 and was several times reprinted. A small book of hymns for children was published in 1810. Many of his compositions continue to be used in Swedenborgian worship.
