in mercy flowed beyond all bound;
when Jesus groaned, a trembling fear
seized all the guilty world around.
This work originally appeared in the New England Psalm Singer. It was written in 1770 by William Billings, a self-taught singing-school teacher and composer who served as choir leader at Old South Church in Boston.
William Billings 1746-1800
