Nahum Tate (1652, Dublin – July 30, 1715, Liberty of the Mint) was an Irish poet, hymnist, and lyricist, who became England's poet laureate in 1692. Nahum Teate came from a family of Puritan clergymen. He was the son of Faithful Teate, an Irish clergyman who had been Rector of Castleterra, Ballyhaise until his house was burnt and his family attacked after he had passed on information to the government about plans for the Irish Rebellion of 1641. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Nahum+Tate">Re
