"'No musician is skillful unless he extols the Lord, and no singer is correct unless he praises the Father.' There is no better example of this ancient Welsh proverb than the life of William Williams. A powerful preacher, he wrote hundreds of hymns and was known as 'The Sweet Singer of Wales.' History suggests that the skillful praises of Williams, more than any other source, were used to elevate the level of education in his native land. Many learned to read that they might sing his hymns, and thousands more knew them by heart. This, his most well-known song, is one of the finest gems of Welsh hymnody." -Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs, #490.
