The hymn tune of O, the Deep, Deep Love (commonly known in hymnal indexes as Ebenezer, or Ton-y-Botel) was written by Welsh composer Thomas J. Williams in 1890. Though several different texts have been set to Williams’ tune, the one that informed my arrangement was written in 1875 by Samuel Francis.
