-"Moliannwn di, O Arglwydd,

0:00:510:00:55

-This hymn tune was originally

-called Cross Street...

0:03:300:03:34

-of composer JT Rees in Cwmgiedd.

0:03:340:03:41

-Like many other local men...

0:03:420:03:44

0:03:500:03:54

-in Toronto University.

0:03:540:03:58

-This hymn tune usually contains

-a personal greeting to Jesus...

0:03:590:04:03

-..and our next hymn

-is no different...

0:04:030:04:06

-..as we sing the words

-of William Williams Pantycelyn.

0:04:060:04:10

-Generations of Welsh children

-have sung this hymn and hymn tune...

0:06:240:06:29

0:06:290:06:32

-..for T Rowland Hughes' anthology

-of songs for children...

0:06:330:06:37

-..Caneuon Sion in 1943.

0:06:380:06:40

0:06:400:06:45

-..by Albrecht Durer's picture...

0:06:450:06:48

-..of the two hands in prayer which

-Issac Watts is recognised as

-the Father of the English hymnody.

0:11:060:11:12

-He wrote over 600 hymns

-and his work contributed...

0:11:120:11:16

-..to changing the perceptions

-of those who opposed singing...

0:11:170:11:22

-..in non-conformist churches

-of his time.

0:11:220:11:25

-Our next hymn is Dafydd Jones'

-translation of his hymn...

0:11:260:11:30

-..Jesus Shall Reign.

0:11:300:11:31

-Dafydd Jones translated

-many of Issac Watts' hymns...

0:11:310:11:36

-..and they were published

-in three anthologies.

0:11:360:11:40

-Translated into several languages...

0:11:400:11:43

-..it was reported

-that a congregation of 5,000...

0:11:430:11:47

-..sung this hymn in Tonga

-when a Christian king...

0:11:470:11:52

-..was enthroned in 1862.

0:11:520:11:55

-We don't have a congregation

-of 5,000 today...

0:11:550:11:58

-..but I'm sure the singing will be

-just as good, if not better...

0:11:590:12:03

-..as we sing the Welsh words.

0:12:030:12:05

-When our next hymn tune was first

-heard, it created quite a stir...

0:14:590:15:04

-..due to accusations made

-against TD Edwards.

0:15:040:15:09

-Some authorities at the time

-claimed he had plagiarised...

0:15:090:15:13

-..a very similar hymn tune

-of the time.

0:15:140:15:16

-That hymn tune was called

-Tuba Mirum.

0:15:160:15:19

-We will sing a translation

-of Samuel Davies' hymn...

0:15:200:15:24

-..Great God of Wonders.

0:15:250:15:27

-The words are based on a Biblical

-verse from the Book of Micah.

0:15:270:15:32

-"Pa Dduw sydd fel tydi

-yn maddau anwiredd...

0:15:320:15:35

-"..ac yn myned heibio

-i anwiredd gweddill ei etifeddiath?"

0:15:350:15:40

-There were originally

-five verses...

0:15:400:15:43

-..but you'll be glad to hear

-that we're singing only three...

0:15:430:15:47

-..as Caneuon Ffydd has only

-published three in its book.

0:15:480:15:52

-We now turn to our final hymn.

0:19:560:19:58

-Bethel is near Llanberis.

0:19:580:20:00

-Our final hymn was written by one

-of Llanberis' most well known poets.

0:20:000:20:05

-T Rowland Hughes wrote the words

-and Arwel Hughes composed the music.

0:20:050:20:10

-The hymn is

-Tydi A Roddaist Liw I'r Wawr.

0:20:100:20:14

-From Bethel, goodnight.
