Margaret Thomas (hymnwriter)

Margaret Thomas (born 1779) was a Welsh hymnwriter.

She was born in 1779 in Llanllechid, Caernarfonshire, Wales; her father was William Lloyd. She wrote hymns in the flyleaves (blank pages) of her Bible and other books. None of her hymns were published during her lifetime. Pastor Thomas Levi discovered her verses and published them in the magazine Y Traethodydd in 1904. The hymn "Dyma Feibil annwyl Iesu" has been attributed to her given that it was written in her handwriting in one of her books, but the attribution is uncertain because Thomas sometimes copied down hymns from other sources. Thomas's hymns have been described as "powerful and by no means conventionally feminine".
