<p>The son of poor parents, Grigg originally trained as a mechanic. In 1743, he became assistant minister to Thomas Bures at the Presbyterian Church on Silver Street in London, England. Upon Bures’ death in 1747, Grigg retired from the ministry and, marrying a lady of property, took up residence at St. Albans.</p>
|
|
<p>Grigg reportedly wrote over 40 hymns. His works include:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><em>Miscellanies on Moral and Religious Subjects</em> (London: Elizabeth Harrison, 1756)</li>
|
|
<li><em>The Voice of Danger, the Voice of God</em> (London: J. Buckland, 1756)</li>
|
|
<li><em>Four Hymns on Divine Subjects wherein the Patience and Love of Our Divine Savior is displayed</em> (London: 1765)</li>
|
|
<li>A dozen hymns contributed to <em>The Christian Magazine</em> in 1765 and 1766</li>
|
|
<li><em>Hymns by the late Rev. Joseph Grigg</em> (Stourbridge, England: 1806)</li>
|
