0:04:330:04:36

-The Birth

0:04:360:04:39

-And it came to pass in those days,

-that there went out a decree...

0:04:400:04:43

-..from Caesar Augustus

-that all the world should be taxed.

0:04:440:04:47

-Joseph also went up from Galilee,

-out of the city of Nazareth...

0:04:470:04:51

-..into Judaea, unto the city of

-David, which is called Bethlehem...

0:04:520:04:56

-..because he was of the house

-and lineage of David...

0:04:560:04:59

-..to be taxed with Mary

-his espoused wife...

0:04:590:05:03

-..being great with child.

0:05:030:05:06

-And so it was, that,

-while they were there...

0:05:060:05:09

-..the days were accomplished

-that she should be delivered.

0:05:090:05:13

-And she brought forth

-her firstborn son...

0:05:130:05:16

-..and wrapped him in swaddling

-clothes, and laid him in a manger...

0:05:160:05:22

-..because there was no room

-for them in the inn.

0:05:220:05:25

-"She is clothed in blue

0:07:520:07:54

-"And it fills

-every portrait of her

0:07:550:07:57

-"Hers is always the song

-in the drama of the nativity

0:07:580:08:02

-"There is a star above each birth

0:08:040:08:06

-"And there is one above every Mary

0:08:060:08:08

-"But it is our woe

-should Herod enter the story

0:08:090:08:13

-"Should Herod enter the story

-and stay

0:08:150:08:17

-"Mary shall not fear

0:08:180:08:20

-"God watches over her

0:08:210:08:23

-"And her Christ is at her side"

0:08:230:08:25

-Next, we can enjoy

-one of Gilmor Griffiths' carols.

0:10:380:10:41

-During his time as head of music

-at Ysgol Glan Clwyd...

0:10:420:10:45

-..he composed many carols

-for the school's Christmas services.

0:10:460:10:50

-We'll hear

-one of the favourites now.

0:10:510:10:53

-The words

-are by Aneurin Prys Williams.

0:10:530:10:56

-Here's Caryl Hughes

-to perform Carol Catrin.

0:10:560:10:59

-# You came, wise men,

-on a winter's night

0:11:010:11:07

-# In the light of the stars

-and the moon, so bright

0:11:080:11:15

-# Your Saviour and Lord

-you came to see

0:11:150:11:23

-# This is my Child

0:11:240:11:29

-# To the manger

-a lowly shepherd came

0:11:310:11:38

-# So meek and mild,

-to praise his name

0:11:380:11:46

-# A Saviour and Lord

-to all who draw near

0:11:470:11:54

-# This is my Child

0:11:540:12:01

-# My heart is now so full of fear

0:12:100:12:17

-# The cross is looming

-- 'tis so near

0:12:170:12:24

-# You're sure to spit and swear

-at him now

0:12:250:12:32

-# This is my Child

0:12:330:12:38

-# I beg you,

-leave this little one be

0:12:410:12:48

-# Life is too short, that I foresee

0:12:480:12:56

-# He will be praised,

-he will feel pain

0:12:570:13:06

-# This is my Child #

0:13:070:13:21

-The world owes a huge debt

-to an organ builder.

0:13:240:13:28

-Karl Mauracher

-was repairing the organ...

0:13:280:13:31

-..in St Nicholas Church

-in Oberndorf, Austria...

0:13:310:13:35

-..when he found a copy of a hymn.

0:13:350:13:37

-It was a carol

-that had been composed...

0:13:370:13:40

-..to be performed at the church

-on Christmas Eve.

0:13:400:13:43

-Thanks to the organ builder...

0:13:430:13:45

-..the hymn spread through

-the German-speaking area of Tyrol...

0:13:460:13:50

-..and all over the world

-in many languages.

0:13:500:13:52

-This is Stille Nacht - Silent Night.

0:13:530:13:55

-Luke 2

0:16:100:16:12

-The Shepherds

0:16:120:16:13

-And there were in the same country

-shepherds abiding in the field...

0:16:140:16:18

-..keeping watch over their flock

-by night.

0:16:180:16:21

-And, lo, the angel of the Lord

-came upon them...

0:16:210:16:24

-..and the glory of the Lord

-shone round about them...

0:16:240:16:28

-..and they were sore afraid.

0:16:290:16:32

-And the angel said unto them...

0:16:320:16:35

-.."Fear not: for, behold, I bring

-you good tidings of great joy...

0:16:350:16:41

-"..which shall be to all people.

0:16:410:16:44

-"For unto you is born this day

-in the city of David...

0:16:450:16:49

-"..a Saviour,

-which is Christ the Lord.

0:16:490:16:51

-"And this shall be a sign unto you.

0:16:520:16:54

-"Ye shall find the babe

-wrapped in swaddling clothes...

0:16:540:16:58

-"..lying in a manger."

0:16:580:17:00

-And suddenly

-there was with the angel...

0:17:010:17:04

-..a multitude of the heavenly host

-praising God, and saying...

0:17:040:17:08

-.."Glory to God in the highest...

0:17:080:17:11

-"..and on earth peace,

-good will toward men."

0:17:110:17:16

-Here's an opportunity to enjoy

-a performance by a Llanelli choir.

0:20:130:20:18

-This choir made quite an impression

-on Britain's Got Talent.

0:20:180:20:22

-Here are Angelicus Celtis

-to perform O Ddwyfol Nos.

0:20:220:20:27

-# O holy night

0:20:320:20:35

-# The stars are brightly shining

0:20:350:20:39

-# It is the night

-of Our dear Saviour's birth

0:20:400:20:46

-# Long lay the world

0:20:480:20:51

-# In sin and error pining

0:20:520:20:55

-# 'Til He appeared

0:20:560:20:58

-# And the soul felt its worth

0:20:580:21:02

-# A thrill of hope

0:21:030:21:06

-# The weary world rejoices

0:21:060:21:09

-# For yonder breaks

0:21:100:21:12

-# A new and glorious morn

0:21:120:21:15

-# Fall on your knees!

0:21:160:21:21

-# O, hear the angels' voices!

0:21:220:21:28

-# O night divine

0:21:280:21:34

-# O night

0:21:340:21:37

-# When Christ was born

0:21:370:21:40

-# O night divine

0:21:410:21:48

-# O night

0:21:480:21:50

-# O night divine

0:21:500:21:55

-# Truly He taught us

0:22:100:22:13

-# To love one another

0:22:130:22:17

-# His law is love

0:22:180:22:19

-# And His gospel is peace

0:22:200:22:23

-# Chains shall He break

0:22:260:22:29

-# For the slave's our brother

0:22:300:22:33

-# And in His name

0:22:340:22:35

-# All oppression shall cease

0:22:360:22:40

-# Sweet hymns of joy

0:22:420:22:44

-# In grateful chorus raise we

0:22:450:22:47

-# Let all within us

0:22:480:22:50

-# Praise His holy name

0:22:500:22:53

-# Christ is the Lord!

0:22:540:22:59

-# Then ever, ever praise we

0:23:000:23:06

-# Oh night divine

0:23:060:23:12

-# Oh night when Christ was born

0:23:120:23:19

-# O night divine

0:23:200:23:26

-# O night

0:23:260:23:29

-# O night divine #

0:23:300:23:37

-The next carol is a marriage

-between Rhys Nicholas' words...

0:23:400:23:44

-..and Caradog Roberts' hymn tune,

-Vilda.

0:23:440:23:47

-She was the daughter

-of the caretaker...

0:23:470:23:49

-..of Bethlehem chapel

-in Rhosllannerchrugog...

0:23:490:23:52

-..where Caradog Roberts

-was the organist.

0:23:530:23:55

-This is

-Mae'r Nos Yn Fwyn Ym Methlehem.

0:23:550:23:58

-O Deuwch Ffyddloniaid...

0:26:430:26:45

-..is a translation

-of the Latin hymn Adeste Fideles.

0:26:450:26:49

-When the carol was composed,

-its writer, John Wade...

0:26:490:26:53

-..was among the Catholic refugees

-who lived in Douai, France.

0:26:530:26:57

-We don't know who translated

-the words into Welsh...

0:26:570:27:00

-..but it's thanks

-to the Independents...

0:27:010:27:03

-..that it's a part

-of Welsh hymnology.

0:27:030:27:06

-It's great

-to have Rhys Meirion with us.

0:30:200:30:23

-He's going to sing a song

-that eulogizes Mary.

0:30:230:30:27

-It's based

-on the famous intermezzo...

0:30:270:30:29

-..from Cavalleria Rusticana

-by Mascagni.

0:30:300:30:32

-This is Sancta Maria.

0:30:320:30:34

-# Ave Maria

0:30:360:30:41

-# Gratia plena

0:30:420:30:48

-# Benedicta

0:30:570:31:00

0:33:230:33:34

-Matthew 2

0:33:380:33:40

-The Wise Men

0:33:400:33:41

-Now when Jesus

-was born in Bethlehem of Judaea...

0:33:410:33:44

-..in the days of Herod the king...

0:33:440:33:46

-..behold, there came wise men

-from the east to Jerusalem...

0:33:460:33:51

-..saying, "Where is he

-that is born King of the Jews?

0:33:510:33:55

-"For we have seen his star in the

-east, and are come to worship him."

0:33:550:34:00

-When Herod the king had heard

-these things, he was troubled...

0:34:020:34:05

-..and all Jerusalem with him.

0:34:060:34:08

-And when he had gathered...

0:34:080:34:10

-..all the chief priests and scribes

-of the people together...

0:34:110:34:15

-..he demanded of them

-where Christ should be born.

0:34:150:34:19

-And they said unto him...

0:34:190:34:22

-.."In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus

-it is written by the prophet."

0:34:220:34:28

-Then Herod, when he had

-privily called the wise men...

0:34:290:34:33

-..enquired of them diligently

-what time the star appeared.

0:34:330:34:38

-And he sent them to Bethlehem,

-and said...

0:34:380:34:41

-.."Go and search diligently

-for the young child...

0:34:420:34:46

-"..and when ye have found him,

-bring me word again...

0:34:460:34:50

-"..that I may come

-and worship him also."

0:34:500:34:53

-When they had heard the king,

-they departed...

0:34:550:34:58

-..and, lo, the star, which they saw

-in the east, went before them...

0:34:580:35:03

-..till it came and stood over

-where the young child was.

0:35:030:35:08

-When they saw the star, they

-rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

0:35:090:35:14

-And when they were come

-into the house...

0:35:150:35:18

-..they saw the young child

-with Mary his mother...

0:35:180:35:21

-..and fell down, and worshipped him.

0:35:210:35:25

-When they had opened

-their treasures...

0:35:250:35:28

-..they presented unto him gifts...

0:35:280:35:31

-..gold and frankincense and myrrh.

0:35:310:35:35

-Only One

0:37:580:38:04

-"Long ago, in Bethlehem, Judea

0:38:040:38:07

-"There were hundreds

-of weary travellers

0:38:070:38:11

-"And only one innkeeper

0:38:120:38:14

-"There were dozens of servants

-in a palace

0:38:150:38:18

-"Ready to kneel and believe,

-if only they knew the story

0:38:180:38:22

-"And Herod? Only one

0:38:230:38:25

-"And there were three wise men

-from the east

0:38:260:38:29

-"And a group of shepherds

-on a hill

0:38:290:38:32

-"And a host of heavenly angels

0:38:320:38:34

-"But only one star shone in the sky

0:38:340:38:37

-"There were two proud parents

-by the crib

0:38:380:38:41

-"Their smiles

-brought joy to the scene

0:38:410:38:44

-"And there,

-at the centre of their celebration

0:38:440:38:47

-"There was a baby - only one

0:38:470:38:49

-"At times, one is enough

0:38:510:38:53

-"Just one to love us wholeheartedly

0:38:540:38:56

-"And tonight, that one awaits us

0:38:570:38:59

-"He awaits us, though it is late"

0:39:000:39:03

-Jane Ellis was a native of Bala.

0:42:310:42:34

-She was a Methodist in the town at

-the same time as Thomas Charles...

0:42:340:42:38

-..in the early 19th century.

0:42:380:42:40

-She was a prolific hymn writer.

0:42:400:42:42

-In 1840, O Deued Pob Cristion

-appeared in a volume of her work.

0:42:430:42:47

-In 1910...

0:42:480:42:49

-..Lady Herbert Lewis heard the song

-being sung in the Caerwys area.

0:42:500:42:54

-She recorded the carol

-on a phonograph.

0:42:540:42:58

-As a result, O Deued Pob Cristion

-became one of our favourites.

0:42:580:43:03

-The Christmas Message

0:47:260:47:30

-"There are some messages

0:47:300:47:33

-"That the words of a language

-cannot properly convey

0:47:330:47:38

-"Those messages are too great

-for worldly words

0:47:390:47:42

-"But they find a way

-of whispering to the pure of heart

0:47:430:47:47

-"And through the rush of Christmas

0:47:490:47:51

-"And the fuss in all the shops

0:47:510:47:53

-"You may hear the ancient message

-of the light of heaven

0:47:530:47:58

-"It travels along a beam of light,

-a glimmer from a distant star

0:47:590:48:03

-"It tells of peace

-and a greater love

0:48:030:48:08

-"When this message comes to you,

-you will see

0:48:100:48:13

-"That it contains a new chapter

-and a place for your own story

0:48:130:48:18

-"The story is radiance

0:48:190:48:21

-"The tale is a journey

0:48:220:48:23

-"The words are love

0:48:240:48:26

-"The message is your duty"

0:48:270:48:29

-Our time here is drawing to a close.

0:50:520:50:55

-We hope you have enjoyed our

-celebration of the birth of Christ.

0:50:550:50:59

-Thank you for your company and we

-hope you have a wonderful Christmas.

0:50:590:51:04

-We end with the carol...

0:51:050:51:06

-.."Clywch lu'r nef yn seinio'n un

-henffych eni Ceidwad dyn."
