0:00:580:01:02

-This is a day to rejoice...

0:01:050:01:06

-..and that's reflected

-in our first hymn.

0:01:070:01:10

-Crist A Orchfygodd

-Fore'r Trydydd Dydd.

0:01:100:01:13

-The powerful music is from

-Handel's oratorio, Judas Maccabeus.

0:01:140:01:18

-Richard Vaughan conducts,

-with Ieuan Jones at the organ.

0:01:180:01:22

-"On the first day of the week,

-very early in the morning...

0:04:440:04:48

-"..the women took the spices they

-had prepared and went to the tomb.

0:04:480:04:53

-"They found the stone

-rolled away from the tomb...

0:04:540:04:57

-"..but when they entered, they did

-not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

0:04:580:05:03

-"While they were wondering

-about this...

0:05:040:05:08

-"..suddenly, two men in clothes

-that gleamed like lightning...

0:05:090:05:13

-"..stood beside them.

0:05:130:05:14

-"In their fright, the women bowed

-down with their faces to the ground.

0:05:140:05:20

-"But the men said to them...

0:05:200:05:22

-"..'Why do you look for the living

-among the dead?

0:05:230:05:27

-"'He is not here.

0:05:280:05:29

-"'He has risen.

0:05:300:05:31

-"'Remember how he told you, while

-he was still with you in Galilee...

0:05:330:05:37

-"'..the Son of Man must be delivered

-over to the hands of sinners...

0:05:370:05:43

-"'..be crucified and on

-the third day be raised again.'"

0:05:430:05:48

-Next, we have a performance.

0:08:000:08:02

-Were You There

-When You Crucified My Lord...

0:08:020:08:06

-..is one of those spirituals

-sung by the slaves in the USA.

0:08:060:08:10

-Interestingly, this was one

-of Mahatma Gandhi's favourite songs.

0:08:100:08:16

-It has been recorded

-by a wide variety of singers...

0:08:160:08:21

-..from Johnny Cash to Jessye Norman.

0:08:210:08:23

-We'll hear it sung

-in a Welsh translation.

0:08:240:08:27

-Lle'r Oe't Ti

-Pan Groeshoeliwyd F'Arglwydd Pur.

0:08:270:08:31

-To perform it, here's Huw Euron.

0:08:310:08:34

-# Were you there

-when they crucified my Lord?

0:08:450:08:54

-# Were you there

-when they crucified my Lord?

0:08:560:09:07

0:09:080:09:14

0:09:140:09:22

0:09:230:09:30

-# Were you there

-when they crucified my Lord?

0:09:310:09:42

-when they laid him in the tomb?

0:09:580:10:10

-# Were you there

-when they laid him in the tomb?

0:10:100:10:23

-# Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

0:10:250:10:32

-# Sometimes it causes me to tremble

0:10:320:10:41

-# Tremble, tremble

0:10:420:10:49

-# Were you there

-when they laid him in the tomb?

0:10:510:11:05

-# Were you there

-when he rose up from the dead?

0:11:060:11:16

-# Were you there

-when he rose up from the dead?

0:11:180:11:31

-# Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

0:11:320:11:39

-# Sometimes it causes me to tremble

0:11:390:11:49

-# Tremble, tremble

0:11:490:11:57

-# Were you there

-when he rose up from the dead? #

0:11:580:12:16

-"The large stone was rolled away

-from the mouth of the borrowed tomb

0:12:200:12:24

-"And his body shone white

-over Jerusalem and Rome

0:12:260:12:30

-"A brilliant white,

-beyond the brightness of this earth

0:12:320:12:36

-"Like a cloud washed in the purity

-of heaven's mists

0:12:370:12:41

-"But on his hands

-were red wounds like roses

0:12:430:12:48

-"The scars of his love,

-the sweepings of our surfeit

0:12:480:12:53

-"The third day,

-beyond our understanding

0:12:550:12:58

-"Assuaging our thoughts

-with his sanctity

0:12:580:13:01

-"After we stared and realized

-the injustice of Good Friday."

0:13:020:13:09

-Next, Elfed's translation...

0:16:260:16:28

-..of Irish hymnist C F Alexander's

-There Is A Green Hill Far Away...

0:16:280:16:32

-..sung by the mezzo-soprano

-Caryl Hughes.

0:16:330:16:36

-The hymn-tune is Lloyd.

0:16:360:16:38

-Draw Draw Ymhell Mae Gwyrddlas Fryn.

0:16:380:16:41

-# There is a green hill far away

0:16:550:17:01

-# Without a city wall

0:17:020:17:06

-# Where the dear Lord was crucified

0:17:070:17:13

-# Who died to save us all

0:17:130:17:20

-# We may not know, we cannot tell

0:17:210:17:27

-# What pains he had to bear

0:17:280:17:33

-# But we believe it was for us

0:17:330:17:40

-# He hung and suffered there

0:17:400:17:47

-# He died that we might be forgiven

0:17:480:17:55

-# He died to make us good

0:17:560:18:01

-# That we might go at last to heaven

0:18:010:18:08

-# Saved by his precious blood.

0:18:080:18:14

-# There was no other good enough

0:18:170:18:23

-# To pay the price of sin

0:18:240:18:29

-# He only could unlock the gate

0:18:300:18:37

-# Of heav'n and let us in

0:18:370:18:44

-# Oh, dearly, dearly has he loved!

0:18:540:19:01

-# And we must love him too

0:19:010:19:07

-# And trust in his redeeming blood

0:19:070:19:14

-# And try his works to do #

0:19:150:19:23

-"One moment, despair

0:19:270:19:29

-"Them the stone was rolled away

0:19:290:19:32

-"The empty tomb

0:19:330:19:34

-"The stranger

-appearing from the shadows

0:19:340:19:37

-"And the familiar voice

-calling my name

0:19:380:19:42

-"One moment, tears,

-and the next, laughter

0:19:440:19:49

-"One moment, death,

-and the next, life

0:19:500:19:55

-"And now my heart leaps with joy

0:19:560:20:00

-"This is not the end

0:20:010:20:03

-"Merely the beginning."

0:20:040:20:06

-It was the poet Alafon

-who provided the translation...

0:22:510:22:55

-..of the renowned hymn Rock Of Ages,

-by Augustus Montague Toplady.

0:22:550:22:59

-The words of Craig Yr Oesoedd

-are also the basis...

0:22:590:23:03

-..for a powerful duet

-by George T Llewellyn.

0:23:030:23:06

-He was a successful baritone

-from Port Talbot.

0:23:060:23:10

-This was apparently

-his first attempt at composition...

0:23:100:23:14

-..and, possibly, his only attempt.

0:23:140:23:17

-It's sung for us by Huw Euron.

0:23:170:23:19

-# Rock of Ages, cleft for me

0:23:300:23:36

-# Let me hide myself in Thee

0:23:360:23:40

-# Let the water and the blood

0:23:410:23:46

-# From Thy riven side which flowed

0:23:470:23:52

-# From Thy riven side which flowed

0:23:530:23:59

-# Be of sin the double cure

0:24:000:24:06

-# Save me from its guilt and power

0:24:060:24:17

-# Not the labour of my hands

0:24:290:24:35

-# Can fulfil Thy law's demands

0:24:350:24:41

-# Could my zeal no respite know

0:24:420:24:47

-# Could my tears forever flow

0:24:470:24:53

-# Could my tears forever flow

0:24:540:25:01

-# All could never sin erase

0:25:010:25:07

-# Thou must save, and save by grace

0:25:080:25:19

-# Nothing in my hands I bring

0:25:320:25:37

-# Simply to Thy cross I cling

0:25:380:25:43

-# Naked, come to Thee for dress

0:25:430:25:49

-# Helpless, look to Thee for grace

0:25:490:25:54

-# Foul, I to the fountain fly

0:25:550:26:00

-# Wash me, Saviour, or I die

0:26:010:26:09

-# Wash me, Saviour, or I die

0:26:100:26:22

-# While I draw this fleeting breath

0:26:380:26:43

-# When mine eyes

-shall close in death

0:26:440:26:51

-# When I soar to worlds unknown

0:26:510:26:57

-# See Thee on Thy judgment throne

0:26:570:27:02

-# Rock of Ages, cleft for me

0:27:030:27:09

-# Let me hide myself in Thee

0:27:090:27:17

-# Rock of Ages, cleft for me

0:27:170:27:24

-# Let me hide myself in Thee #

0:27:250:27:41

-"An explosion of true love came

0:27:440:27:47

-"Through Jesus, our leading treasure

0:27:470:27:50

-"He destroyed the great walls

0:27:510:27:53

-"Of the proud castles

-of this world's giants.

0:27:530:27:56

-He put his hand

-in the hand of the sick

0:27:580:28:00

-"Brought peace to poor houses

0:28:000:28:03

-"Where there was evil,

-the cross's grace

0:28:040:28:07

-"Where there was injustice,

-reconciliation shone

0:28:070:28:12

-"He is the man, more than anyone,

-who holds the integrity of life

0:28:120:28:16

-"His love and support

-are beyond compare

0:28:170:28:19

-"It is a pleasure to praise him

0:28:200:28:22

-"The ingenious critics do us harm

0:28:230:28:26

-"The affluent men disparage him

0:28:270:28:31

-"He is the one,

-the unassuming brother

0:28:310:28:34

-"Who shall become mankind's sun."

0:28:340:28:36

-William Gomez was a guitarist

-and composer from Gibraltar.

0:31:320:31:36

-Shortly before his death in 2000...

0:31:360:31:39

-..he composed

-an arrangement of Ave Maria.

0:31:390:31:42

-Hail Mary, Full Of Grace,

-The Lord Is With You.

0:31:420:31:47

-It's a wonderful piece.

0:31:470:31:49

-Here to perform it is Caryl Hughes.

0:31:490:31:52

-"A face in a mirror

0:35:250:35:27

-"Man is a pale grey reflection

-of God's brilliance

0:35:270:35:32

-"Attempting to flee from himself

0:35:330:35:35

-"And faced by the mirror

-in every direction

0:35:360:35:39

-"Propelling him through the veins

-of life like rushing red blood

0:35:410:35:45

-"Hounding him

-through the hills of disobedience

0:35:460:35:50

-"And like an insatiable worm

-through the knots of withered wood.

0:35:510:35:56

-"Father, amid the suffering,

-show us the effigy of humanity

0:35:570:36:01

-"And on the cross,

-hurriedly obliterate the spectre

0:36:020:36:06

-"So that may rise from the ashes

-a lily-white and rosy glow

0:36:060:36:10

-"The burning column of the new man

0:36:110:36:14

-"So white-hot that his image

-could not be recognized."

0:36:140:36:19

-"There in the ground his body lay

0:39:490:39:51

-"Light of the world

-by darkness slain."

0:39:520:39:55

-On Easter Sunday...

0:39:560:39:57

-..we turn from the horrific

-public events of Good Friday.

0:39:570:40:02

-We turn

-from the bustle of the crowd...

0:40:030:40:05

-..and the sound of them

-jeering and mocking Jesus...

0:40:050:40:09

-..while he was dying on the cross.

0:40:090:40:11

-We turn to the peace

-and stillness of the garden.

0:40:110:40:15

-Today, on Easter Sunday, we travel

-with the women to the dark tomb.

0:40:170:40:22

-They were quiet,

-with tears in their eyes...

0:40:220:40:25

-..hearts heavy with grief...

0:40:260:40:28

-..their lives

-torn apart by the cross.

0:40:280:40:31

-We tend to think of death

-and the grave as a failure.

0:40:320:40:36

-As the end,

-the end of life's journey.

0:40:360:40:39

-The end of a relationship,

-the end of dreams, the end of hope.

0:40:400:40:44

-The grave is so final.

0:40:440:40:47

-With Jesus and his truth

-crucified and buried in the tomb...

0:40:470:40:52

-..who was left to challenge lives

-and comfortable religion?

0:40:520:40:56

-With Jesus and his light

-crucified and laid in the tomb...

0:40:580:41:02

-..and the stone

-rolled safely across the entrance...

0:41:020:41:06

-..who was left to show the nature

-of God's sacrificial love...

0:41:060:41:11

-..and to challenge mankind's

-selfishness and self-interest?

0:41:110:41:15

-When the women arrived at the tomb,

-the stone had been moved...

0:41:160:41:21

-..and they did not find

-the body of the Lord Jesus.

0:41:210:41:24

-The empty tomb

-and the resurrection of Jesus...

0:41:250:41:28

-..shows us that God isn't willing

-to let the truth be buried.

0:41:280:41:33

-The truth insists on being heard.

0:41:330:41:37

-Jesus said, "I am the way,

-the truth and the life."

0:41:380:41:43

-The tomb shows

-that God's truth cannot be buried.

0:41:440:41:48

-Neither can his light be confined.

0:41:480:41:51

-Deceit and darkness

-do not carry the day...

0:41:510:41:55

-..but the truth and the light

-that belongs to us and the world...

0:41:550:42:00

-..through the resurrection of Jesus.

0:42:000:42:02

-"There in the ground his body lay

0:42:030:42:06

-"Light of the world

-by darkness slain

0:42:060:42:10

-"Then bursting forth in glorious day

0:42:100:42:14

-"Up from the grave he rose again!"

0:42:140:42:16

-"If then you have been

-raised with Christ...

0:44:590:45:02

-"..seek the things

-that are above...

0:45:020:45:05

-"..where Christ is seated

-at the right hand of God.

0:45:050:45:09

-"Set your minds

-on things that are above...

0:45:090:45:13

-"..not on things that are on earth.

0:45:130:45:16

-"For you have died, and your life

-is hidden with Christ in God.

0:45:160:45:22

-"When Christ

-who is your life appears...

0:45:230:45:27

-"..then you also

-will appear with him in glory.

0:45:280:45:33

-The end is approaching,

-and we have one hymn remaining.

0:49:160:49:20

-I hope you have felt

-the spirit of Easter today...

0:49:200:49:23

-..and have been blessed

-by the performances and hymns...

0:49:230:49:27

-..from St David's Church in Cardiff.

0:49:280:49:30

-We end with the congregation...

0:49:300:49:32

-..singing the immortal words

-of Thomas Jones from Denbigh...

0:49:330:49:37

-..Mi Wn Fod Fy Mhrynwr Yn Fyw.

0:49:370:49:38

-From us all, goodbye.
