Irons was the son of hymnist Joseph Irons. Josiah graduated from Queens College, Oxford (B.A. 1833, DD. 1854), and took Holy Orders in 1835. In 1837, he became Incumbent at St. Peters, Walworth. Later he was Vicar of Barkway, Incumbent of Brompton, Rector of Wadingham, and, in 1872, Rector of St. Mary-Woolnoth and Prebendary of St. Paul’s Cathedral. He earned his Doctor of Divinity degree in 1854. Irons took part in the ecclesiastical controversies of his day, and published extensively thereon in the form of sermons, letters, pamphlets, etc. His 1870 Bampton Lectures were on Christianity as taught by St. Paul.
Irons’ hymn writing and translating began during his Curacy at St. Mary, Newington, 1835-1837, and continued until his death. Many were first printed as broadsheets, and later included in Hymns for the Christian Seasons, by R. T. Lowe, rector of Lea, Lincolnshire (Gainsburgh, 1854), and in his own collections.
