No hymn requests this morning, so I’m on my own again. I’ll post the first hymn that comes to mind, and here it is, from Wales–Calon Lan (“A Pure Heart”). This is a whole bunch of Welsh choirs, of all ages, backed up by a full symphony orchestra. Powerful stuff!
“Calon Lan” in Welsh means “A Pure Heart.” Written in the 1890s as a hymn, the melody has become ingrained in Welsh popular culture. There’s a set of lyrics about going to Heaven and finding everyone and everything you’d loved and lost on earth: moved me to tears and stayed with me all night, last night. It has also spawned a kind of anthem for the Welsh national football team.
But we are putting it up here as a hymn, sung by the Dunvant Male Choir at Mynyddbach Chapel, in Wales.
