-# Of his strong hand | 0:11:35 | 0:11:42 | |
-# Ooh-ooh-ooh | 0:11:43 | 0:11:48 | |
-# Of his strong hand # | 0:11:50 | 0:12:04 | |
-We will now sing a hymn... | 0:12:06 | 0:12:08 | |
-..expressing a longing -for a scattering of the holy spirit. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:12 | |
-O Anfon Di Yr Ysbryd Glan -Yn Enw Iesu Mawr. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |

-..and the honorary president -of Lleisiau'r Cwm, Glynog Davies. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:39 | |

-I'm prepared to accept the title -of honorary president... | 0:14:42 | 0:14:46 | |
-..and it's a real privilege being -involved with such a great choir. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:52 | |
-They sing -fresh and contemporary pieces. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:55 | |
-They promote the best music... | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
-..in this locality. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:01 | |

-Their contribution to this valley -is priceless. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
-Yes, indeed. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
-One must remember that this is -a post-industrial valley. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:13 | |
-Most of its virtues -have disappeared... | 0:15:13 | 0:15:16 | |
-..because people have had to move -away but the choir has remained. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:21 | |
-We're fortunate -to have a male voice choir... | 0:15:21 | 0:15:24 | |
-..and a mixed choir in Ammanford. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:27 | |
-But this is the ladies' choir and -they make a valuable contribution. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:31 | |
-Whatever the cause, -Catrin and her choir never say no... | 0:15:31 | 0:15:36 | |
-..so long as it fits in -with their schedule. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:39 | |
-They're always ready to help and -willing to contribute through song. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:44 | |
-Voluntary work -is important to you, isn't it? | 0:15:44 | 0:15:47 | |
-Yes, it is, because there are -so many worthwhile causes... | 0:15:47 | 0:15:52 | |
-..in need of help these days. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
-What gives me so much satisfaction -is people's continued generosity... | 0:15:54 | 0:15:59 | |
-..despite the fact -this is a far from affluent area. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:04 | |
-One must remember that some people -find it hard to make ends meet... | 0:16:04 | 0:16:09 | |
-..yet they're -always willing to contribute. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:12 | |
-Amman Valley Hospital -is also in our locality... | 0:16:13 | 0:16:17 | |
