Notes: William C. Dix was born at Bristol on the 14th of June, 1837, the son of John R. Dix, a surgeon and author of a biography of Thomas Chatterton, among other works. He made his living as the manager of a marine insurance company in Glasgow, Scotland. Concerning the authorship of this carol, the most popular story is that on January 6, 1860, the Feast of the Epiphany, Dix was ill and confined to bed. Inspired by the story of the Magi in Matthew 1:1-11, he wrote this now famous poem. However, the date of composition was not 1860, but earlier, perhaps 1858 but not later than 1859 for it was in that year that it was first published in Dix's collection Hymns of Love and Joy. The full details are found under the first version of this carol: As, With Gladness, Men Of Old. Concerning the details of its composition − and ignoring the date of 1860 − Francis Arthur Jones reported:
The small hymnal of limited circulation was quite possibly Hymns (1859), the pre-publication version of the first edition of Hymns Ancient and Modern (1861). This would mark the date of composition as 1858 or early 1859. Mr. Jones also wrote that Sir Roundell Palmer, the late Lord Selborne, was a great admirer of Mr. Chatterton Dix's hymns, and considered this hymn one of the finest compositions of the kind in the language. This comment was made by Lord Selborne in his paper on "English Church Hymnody" at the Church Congress in York in 1866.
Again, it was first published in Dix's Hymns of Love and Joy (1859). A second version appeared in 1860, A. H. Ward's hymnal for the congregation at St. Raphael Church in Bristol, Hymns for the Services of the Church and for Private Devotion. The third version was printed in Hymns (circa 1859), which was the trial version of the 1961 Hymns Ancient and Modern. Jones also wrote that
Dr Julian tells us that after 1861, this carol has been incorporated in nearly every new hymnal and in new editions of the older collections in all English-speaking countries. Very slight variations in the text are sometimes found, as in the revised edition of Hymns Ancient & Modern, 1875. This carol also appeared in W. Chatterton Dix, ed., Christmas Carols & Christmas Customs (No publisher, location or date; ca. 1870), #12, p. 3, who wrote that the music was by the Rev. R. F. Smith, Minor Canon of Southwell Collegiate Church. Mr. Dix did not state the name of the tune, unfortunately. There was only one difference in the text from that which appears above (noted in Footnote 02b). Dr. Julian reported that authorized texts are SPCK'S Church Hymns, circa 1872, and Godfrey Thring's Church of England Hymn Book, 1880, and that Lord Selborne's 1866 text can also be considered authoritative. However, an analysis of the texts disclosed that only two subsequent publications are consistent with the 1959 version of Hymns:
Three final changes would be made in the 1875 edition of Hymns Ancient and Modern. Dr. Julian reported that an anonymous hymn� As In Eastern Lands Afar � given in Holy Song For All Seasons, London, Bell and Daldy, 1869, #83, pp. 30-31, in 4 stanzas of 8 lines, is based upon, and is an imitation of "As with gladness men of old." He adds that he has not met with it elsewhere. In addition to Hymns of Love and Joy (usually erroneously dated to 1860 or 1861) Dix published three additional volumes of his poetry, including
He also contributed Christmas-tide hymns and carols to Hymns Ancient and Modern and to several other hymnals. For additional details concerning Mr. Dix and his contributions to poetry and hymnology, please see: William Chatterton Dix. Sources:
