-In 1967,

-a gospel version was recorded...

-written back in the 18th century.

0:06:000:06:04

-The single reached number one

-in the American charts...

0:06:040:06:08

-..as well as the British charts.

0:06:080:06:10

-It's been recorded

-"A true Welshman

-reveres his mother tongue

0:09:360:09:39

-"He cherishes it always

0:09:390:09:42

-"What other country

0:09:420:09:44

-"Is as glorious as placid Wales?

0:09:440:09:47

-"My beloved country I embrace

0:09:510:09:54

-"Anchored to it is my boat of love

0:09:540:09:57

-"Though the world's oceans may boil

0:09:570:10:00

-"I will find my paradise

-within her."

0:10:000:10:03

-One of St David's famous teachings

-was, "Do the small things."

0:12:550:13:00

-Carrying an organ donor card

-is one such small thing.

0:13:000:13:05

-By doing that, it has a profound

-effect on the lives of individuals.

0:13:050:13:11

-Next is a song of tribute

-to organ donors everywhere.

0:13:110:13:14

-This is Nerth Y Gan.

0:13:150:13:17

-# From the outset in this world

0:13:320:13:36

-# You knew the way to live

0:13:370:13:40

-# So that others could receive

0:13:410:13:45

-# You knew you had to give

0:13:450:13:49

-# We were given, with a smile

0:13:490:13:53

-# The values that we hold

0:13:530:13:58

-# Those who are young in spirit

0:13:590:14:03

-# Will never, ever grow old

0:14:030:14:10

-# Today, there is a smile somewhere

0:14:110:14:15

-# That's a smile because of you

0:14:150:14:19

-# Today, there is a heart that beats

0:14:190:14:24

-# To the rhythm of our hearts too

0:14:240:14:27

-# And although the tide of life

0:14:280:14:32

-# Will sometimes ebb away

0:14:320:14:36

-# The power, the power of the song

0:14:360:14:39

-# Stays with each passing day

0:14:390:14:44

-# The voice has not been silenced

0:14:550:15:00

-# The laughter is still heard

0:15:000:15:03

-# Your song will still ring out

0:15:030:15:07

-# Wherever we go in the world

0:15:080:15:11

-# And if there's somewhere, tomorrow

0:15:120:15:15

-# Where we can once more meet

0:15:150:15:20

-# There'll be laughter unto tears

0:15:210:15:25

-# And more, more songs so sweet

0:15:260:15:33

-# Will sometimes ebb away

0:15:540:15:57

-# The power, the power of the song

0:15:570:16:01

-# Stays with each passing day

0:16:010:16:05

-# Tonight, the stars shine brightly

0:16:090:16:13

-# And I know that you are there

0:16:130:16:17

-# The world dances to your memory

0:16:170:16:22

-# Your charm beguiles the air

0:16:220:16:25

-# There's no end to the sharing

0:16:260:16:30

-# There's no end to the singing

0:16:300:16:35

-# And we sing a song

-to those beyond compare

0:16:350:16:43

-# Today, there is a smile somewhere

0:16:430:16:49

-# That's a smile because of you

0:17:020:17:06

-# Will sometimes ebb away

-# Stays with each passing day

0:17:210:17:26

-# The power, the power of the song

0:17:300:17:36

-# Stays with each passing day #

0:17:360:17:46

-We're in a nondescript field

-on the outskirts of Mold.

0:17:590:18:03

-An ordinary field but one which

-commemorates an unusual battle.

0:18:040:18:09

-The purpose of this memorial...

0:18:090:18:12

-..is to remember a battle fought

-in the year 420 or thereabouts.

0:18:120:18:18

-The Welsh called on Germanus...

0:18:180:18:22

-..who later became St Germanus...

0:18:220:18:26

-..to help them

-fight the Picts and the Saxons.

0:18:260:18:32

-Germanus came to them, he saw

-the Picts and the Saxons approach...

0:18:320:18:37

-..and commanded the soldiers

-and Welshmen to shout, "Hallelujah!"

0:18:370:18:44

-This memorial on top of the hill...

0:18:440:18:47

-..is called the Alleluia Monument...

0:18:470:18:49

-..because victory was reached

-after that unanimous shout.

0:18:500:18:54

-The Picts and Saxons

-fled for their lives.

0:18:540:18:59

-Germanus,

-like many other saints after him...

0:18:590:19:04

-..established many landmarks...

0:19:040:19:07

-..where Christians could

-come together and spread the gospel.

0:19:070:19:12

-We've been greatly blessed

-here in Wales...

0:19:130:19:17

-..ever since then, in actual fact.

0:19:170:19:20

-We got to hear the gospel

-early in our history...

0:19:200:19:23

-..and we were given the Bible

-early in our history too.

0:19:230:19:27

-We were one of the first nations...

0:19:270:19:29

-..to have the Bible

-translated into our mother tongue.

0:19:300:19:33

-We have

-countless reasons to praise God...

0:19:340:19:37

-..to say "hallelujah" and to

-thank him for all he's done for us.

0:19:370:19:43

-Things are

-very different nowadays in Wales...

0:19:460:19:49

-..compared to the time

-when Saint Germanus came here...

0:19:490:19:55

-..and spread the good news.

0:19:550:19:58

-I think we should

-commemorate what they shared...

0:19:580:20:03

-..and remember there's no bigger

-Saviour and no greater news...

0:20:030:20:08

-..than what they shared back then.

0:20:080:20:10

-Jesus Christ was crucified,

-he rose again...

0:20:110:20:14

-..and shared his victory with us.

0:20:140:20:17

-Our programme draws to a close.

0:20:190:20:21

-I hope you've enjoyed our lively

-celebration of St David's Day...

0:20:210:20:25

-..and that you'll

-join us again next week.

0:20:260:20:29

-Our final hymn

-is Bendigedig Enw'r Ior.

0:20:290:20:33

-Goodbye.
