-Like me, most of you will recall

-singing this hymn as children.

0:09:240:09:28

-It's one of the first hymns I sang

-at Sunday school in Bwlchllan.

0:09:280:09:33

-It's still as relevant now...

0:09:330:09:35

-..as it was when Eifion Wyn

-wrote it 250 years ago.

0:09:350:09:38

-Euros Rhys Evans composed the melody

-when he was only ten years old...

0:09:390:09:43

-..the same age as some of the pupils

-of Ysgol Gwauncaegurwen...

0:09:430:09:47

-..and Ysgol y Bedol

-who star in this performance.

0:09:470:09:51

-The Amman Valley is at the western

-edge of the South Wales coalfield.

0:11:570:12:02

0:15:080:15:13

0:15:220:15:27

-The most influential man

-to come from the Amman Valley.

0:16:050:16:09

-That was how the author

-of this next hymn was described.

0:16:090:16:13

-The words belong to the first Welsh

-Minister of State, Jim Griffiths...

0:16:130:16:18

-..and he was talking

-about Watcyn Wyn.

0:16:190:16:22

-Watcyn Wyn established Gwynfryn...

0:16:220:16:25

-..an influential college

-to train ministers.

0:16:250:16:28

-This is one of his best-known hymns.

0:16:290:16:31

-Our next hymn is a translation

-of a hymn by Charles Wesley...

0:19:040:19:08

-..in which he proclaims that the

-Christian's lot is to glorify God.

0:19:090:19:13

-"A never-dying soul to save,

-and fit it for the sky."

0:19:130:19:17

-We've enjoyed some inspired singing

-at All Saints Church, Ammanford.

0:21:220:21:28

-I hope you have enjoyed

-our tour of the area.

0:21:280:21:31
