The enormous load of human guilt Was on my Saviour laid; With woes as with a garment He For sinners was arrayed. And in the fearful pangs of death He wept, He prayed for me; Loved and embraced my guilty soul When nailed to the tree. O love amazing! love beyond The reach of human tongue; Love which shall be the subject of An everlasting song. William Williams Pantycelyn 1717-1791

... the antichrist ... "the false prophet", "the great whore" ... "the red dragon" ... is to be defeated by the Lord Jesus; and the gospel of life will overrun the places, kingdoms and extensive countries that this antichrist has ruled; such as Europe which is now ruled by the Church of Rome and other formal, lifeless churches; Asia, and a great part of Africa, which is today under the authority of Mohametanism; together with the remotest parts of the world in Asia, Africa and America, which paganism covers as a flood. William Williams Pantycelyn  1717-1791

Awake, my soul, and rise Amazed, and yonder see, How hangs the mighty Saviour God, Upon a cursèd tree!

Like lighting one small candle to supplement the sun, Is adding man’s weak merit to what our Lord has done; For he the books of heaven has cleared by his blood, Our righteousness is in him, his name the Son of God. William Williams Pantycelyn 1717-1791

In whom therefore can we boast? Can we boast in anything other than the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ? What does a sinner have to boast in other than the cross of Christ? And as we consider his cross we mean all his sufferings from the beginning of his life to his ascension, through the cross to the right hand of God. William Williams Pantycelyn 1717-1791

Onward march all conquering Jesus Gird thee on thy mighty sword Sinful earth can ne’er oppose thee Hell itself quails at the word Even today I hear sweet music Praises of a blood freed throng Full deliverance, glorious freedom Are the themes for endless song? Whiter than the snow their raiment Victor palms they wave on high As they pass with fullest glory Into life’s felicity. William Williams Pantycelyn 1717-1791
