Sir John Taylor Coleridge, was born in 1821, and educated at Eton, and Balliol College, Oxford. He subsequently became a Fellow of Exeter College.

In the latter stanza ii., line 4, read originally "Strike us back, O Lord, we pray." --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907) ==================== Coleridge, John Duke, .Lord, p. 1557, i.
