Francis James Child collected 365 traditional English and Scottish ballads and published them around 1860 as Childs Ballads. Number 56 "Dives and Lazarus" is from the parable in Luke 16 v 19-31.

Ralph Vaughan Williams used the theme for his "Five Variants of Dives and Lazarus". He also used it for the hymn music "Kingsfold" used for "I heard the voice of Jesus" and "O sing a song of Bethlehem,"
