‘Cwm Rhondda’ (Welsh Hymn)
This hymn was with me for most of last night, so I thought I’d better post it.
Cwm Rhondda , also known as “Bread of Heaven” and “Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah,” is sung here by St. Michael’s Singers.
‘God of Grace and God of Glory’
I’ve been reading and writing nooze for hours today and just can’t take any more. How about a hymn instead?
God of Grace and God of Glory, performed by the Uzee Brown Society of Choraliers, is a Welsh hymn I hadn’t heard before. The melody, “Cwm Rhondda” (traditional Welsh), is attached to several classic hymns.
‘Hyfrydol’ (Welsh Hymn)
No one has requested any hymns so far today, so I’ll go with one of my favorites. Hyfrydol provides the melody a number of hymns. In our church’s hymnal, it was just “Welsh Hymn.” Here, by the Black Mountain Choir and the Welsh National Opera Orchestra.
‘Bread of Heaven’ (‘Cwm Rhondda’)
Wow! Can Sir Harry Secombe sing a hymn, or what? With some help from the Treorchy Male Choir–Bread of Heaven (known in Welsh as Cwm Rhondda ((and did that ever confuse me in Sunday school!)) ).
You can’t beat the Welsh for singing hymns.
‘Bread of Heaven’
Verizon is drunk this morning; I hope my posts can be read.
Bread of Heaven (“Cwm Rhondda” in Welsh), sung by the Morriston Orpheus Choir: I like a traditional hymn to start the day.
Please request any hymn you’d like to hear!
Welsh Hymn, ‘Calon Lan’
This hymn kept coming to mind last night, so I thought I’d better post it–spiritual balm for a wounded spirit.
Calon Lan (“A Pure Heart”) in Welsh, at Mynyddbach Chapel, solo by Bryn Terfel, chorus by the Dunvant Male Choir.
‘All Through the Night’ (in Welsh)
Looks like everybody’s gone to the beach today. But for those who are here, I thought you might enjoy this–Ar Hyd y Nos. “All Through the Night” in Welsh. Some of us have known it as a bedtime lullaby; but it’s also a hymn. Sung by Bryn Terfel.
‘Calon Lan’ (‘A Pure Heart’)
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!
‘Hyfrydol’ (On a Harp)
No hymn requests today, well, then, why not this? Hyfrydol on the harp, played by Ray Pool. This melody goes with I-don’t-know-how-many hymns in any number of hymnals–pick one you like. They’re all among my favorites.
