-Chapels and churches

-are celebrating Whitsun today.

0:00:000:00:03

-From Priordy Chapel, welcome

-to Dechrau Canu Dechrau Canmol.

-In today's programme,

-we meet two active members...

0:00:390:00:43

-..of Priordy Chapel.

0:00:430:00:45

-One has been

-brought up in the chapel.

0:00:460:00:48

-Despite being blind,

-she's integral to chapel life.

0:00:480:00:51

-The other is an incomer

-to Carmarthen from North Wales.

0:00:540:00:58

-There are also performances

-by Rhian Lois...

0:00:580:01:01

-..and Elgan Llyr Thomas.

0:01:030:01:05

-The first hymn uses imagery...

0:01:130:01:15

-..to describe

-the descent of the Holy Spirit...

0:01:150:01:19

-..and calls for the same thing

-to happen again in Wales.

0:01:190:01:23

-"O na ddoi'r nefol wynt

-i chwythu eto

0:01:230:01:25

-"Fel bu'n y dyddiau gynt

-Drwy'n gwlad yn rhuthro."

0:01:260:01:29

-Rhian Evans

-was brought up in Priordy Chapel.

0:04:050:04:08

-She's a deacon

-as well as the chapel's organist.

0:04:090:04:12

-She's also lost her sight

-and is a true inspiration...

0:04:120:04:16

-..in the way she lives her life.

0:04:170:04:19

-I'm Rhian Evans

-and I'm a member of Priordy.

0:04:190:04:22

-I've been a member all my life.

0:04:220:04:24

-I attended Sunday school and took

-part in the children's services.

0:04:250:04:29

-My mother taught the children for

-25 years and my father was a deacon.

0:04:300:04:34

-I've been immersed in chapel life.

0:04:340:04:38

-But despite our chapel upbringing,

-we need more than that.

0:04:380:04:44

-We have to see for ourselves...

0:04:440:04:46

-..that Jesus Christ

-means something personally to us.

0:04:470:04:51

-It's often the case...

0:04:510:04:53

-..that hymns

-express the way we feel...

0:04:530:04:56

-..better than our own words

-ever could.

0:04:560:04:59

-Having the hymns sent electronically

-to me every week from Beti Wyn...

0:04:590:05:04

-..means

-I can read the hymns in Braille.

0:05:050:05:08

-It's been

-a great blessing to me.

0:05:080:05:11

-It's enriched my life.

0:05:110:05:14

-Hymns like

-"Mi wn mai'r storom fawr ei grym

0:05:140:05:18

-"A ddwg y pethau gorau im."

0:05:180:05:21

-I might not have believed

-those words when I was young...

0:05:210:05:25

-..but having lost my sight...

0:05:250:05:28

-..the storm in my life has brought

-me some of the best experiences.

0:05:280:05:33

-The reason I'm able to say that...

0:05:330:05:36

-..is because I know Jesus Christ

-is with me in that storm...

0:05:360:05:41

-..and leading me through it

-with a supportive arm.

0:05:410:05:46

-There's another hymn which expresses

-the way I feel in my heart.

0:05:460:05:52

-It's a hymn written by

-Rev Simon Jones Peniel...

0:05:520:05:56

-..which describes

-Jesus Christ's love like the sea.

0:05:560:06:00

-"Llifa ataf for tragwyddol."

0:06:000:06:03

-The last two lines

-of the hymn read...

0:06:040:06:07

-.."Ac nid oes ond ti a'm cyrraedd

-ar y draethell unig hon."

0:06:070:06:13

-I'm sure there are other people...

0:06:130:06:16

-..going through difficulties

-or dealing with disabilities...

0:06:160:06:20

-..who would say

-that it's a very lonely experience.

0:06:210:06:25

-"Nid oes ond ti a'm cyrraedd ar y

-draethell unig hon" is comforting.

0:06:250:06:30

-Jesus Christ is walking

-alongside us and supporting us.

0:06:300:06:34

-The hymn we're singing

-in this service...

0:06:350:06:39

-.."O Ffisigwr mawr y byd,

-down atat a'n doluriau i gyd"...

0:06:390:06:45

-..reassures us

-that he knows about our woes...

0:06:450:06:48

-..and that he's the only one

-who can meet all our needs.

0:06:490:06:53

-Our friends and family

-can be good to us...

0:06:540:06:57

-..but only Jesus Christ

-can accompany us to the very end.

0:06:570:07:02

-Next is a performance

-by a star of classical music.

0:08:470:08:51

-The tenor, Elgan Llyr Thomas,

-is busy making a name for himself...

0:08:510:08:56

-..on the professional circuit.

0:08:560:08:58

-He's singing I'll Walk With God with

-the Welsh translation by Gwyn Parry.

0:08:580:09:03

-# I'll walk with God

0:09:130:09:17

-# From this day on

0:09:180:09:22

-# His helping hand

0:09:220:09:26

-# I'll lean upon

0:09:260:09:31

-# This is my prayer

0:09:310:09:35

-# My humble plea

0:09:360:09:40

-# May the Lord

0:09:410:09:44

-# Be ever with me

0:09:440:09:50

-# There is no death

0:09:520:09:56

-# Though eyes grow dim

0:09:560:10:01

-# There is no fear

0:10:010:10:05

-# When I'm near to Him

0:10:050:10:11

-# I'll lean on Him forever

0:10:110:10:19

-# And He'll forsake me never

0:10:190:10:29

-# He will not fail me

0:10:300:10:37

-# As long as my faith is strong

0:10:370:10:44

-# Whatever road I may walk alone

0:10:440:10:55

-# I'll walk with God

0:10:560:11:00

-# I'll take His hand

0:11:000:11:04

-# I'll talk with God

0:11:050:11:09

-# He'll understand

0:11:090:11:13

-# I'll pray to Him

0:11:140:11:18

-# Each day to Him

0:11:180:11:23

-# And He'll hear the words

0:11:230:11:27

-# That I say

0:11:280:11:31

-# His hand will guide

-my throne and rod

0:11:320:11:42

-# And I'll never walk alone

0:11:420:11:48

-# While I walk

0:11:480:11:52

-# With God #

0:11:540:11:59

-Next we're singing a hymn

-that's relatively new...

0:12:090:12:12

-..and is popular

-in our chapels and churches.

0:12:120:12:16

-The original English hymn, There Is

-A Redeemer, by Melody Green...

0:12:160:12:20

-..was included on husband Keith's

-1982 album, Songs of the Shepherd.

0:12:210:12:26

-Tragically, Keith Green was killed

-in an aeroplane accident...

0:12:260:12:30

-..a few weeks later.

0:12:310:12:32

-Priordy Chapel

-is an industrious house of worship.

0:15:090:15:13

-Alun Charles is its secretary.

0:15:130:15:15

-The family moved from northeast

-Wales to Carmarthenshire...

0:15:170:15:21

-..some 30 years ago.

0:15:210:15:24

-We searched for a chapel

-and then became members of Priordy.

0:15:240:15:28

-It's a very inclusive chapel, where

-there's always a warm welcome...

0:15:280:15:33

-..even for a Northwalian

-like myself!

0:15:330:15:36

-I'm the chapel's secretary,

-and put it like this...

0:15:370:15:41

-..when you have a relatively young,

-enthusiastic...

0:15:410:15:45

-..and productive minister,

-there's always plenty of tasks...

0:15:450:15:49

-..for the secretary

-and other chapel members.

0:15:500:15:53

-Inside the Priordy, you'll see the

-pulpit and a stage in front of it.

0:15:540:15:58

-Each side of the pulpit...

0:15:590:16:01

-..are television screens.

0:16:010:16:03

-We use a great deal of technology.

0:16:030:16:07

-The minister

-regularly communicates...

0:16:070:16:11

-..via email, Twitter and Facebook.

0:16:110:16:14

-We produce a newsletter every week.

0:16:140:16:16

-It's printed by chapel members...

0:16:170:16:21

-..who sponsor it

-from month to month.

0:16:210:16:24

-In the middle are pages dedicated

-to the chapel's young people.

0:16:240:16:29

-If you trace Priordy's history...

0:16:290:16:32

-..the church's roots are firmly

-planted in the Sunday school.

0:16:320:16:36

-The Sunday school

-is still going strong...

0:16:370:16:40

-..with close to 70 children

-and young people on its books.

0:16:400:16:44

-The thanks

-should go to the minister...

0:16:440:16:47

-..the teachers and the parents...

0:16:470:16:49

-..for helping the chapel.

0:16:500:16:52

-Next to perform

-is Ceredigion soprano Rhian Lois.

0:16:530:16:57

-From Tintern Abbey,

-accompanied by a string quintet...

0:16:570:17:01

-..this is Morte Christe.

0:17:010:17:04

-# When I survey

0:17:040:17:08

-# The wondrous cross

0:17:090:17:14

-# On which the Prince of glory died

0:17:150:17:23

-# My richest gain

0:17:250:17:29

-# I count but loss

0:17:300:17:34

-# And pour contempt

0:17:350:17:40

-# On all my pride

0:17:400:17:47

-# See from His head

0:18:060:18:11

-# His hands, His feet

0:18:110:18:17

-# Sorrow and love

0:18:170:18:22

-# Flow mingled down

0:18:220:18:27

-# Did e'er such love

0:18:280:18:33

-# And sorrow meet?

0:18:330:18:39

-# Or thorns compose

0:18:390:18:45

-# So rich a crown?

0:18:450:18:54

-# Were the whole realm

0:19:170:19:21

-# Of nature mine

0:19:210:19:27

-# That were a present

0:19:270:19:32

-# Far too small

0:19:320:19:37

-# Love so amazing

0:19:380:19:44

-# So divine

0:19:440:19:49

-# Demands my soul

0:19:510:19:58

-# My life, my all #

0:19:590:20:05

-Our celebration of Whitsun from

-Priordy Chapel draws to a close.

0:20:090:20:14

-I hope you've enjoyed our programme.

0:20:140:20:17

-The final hymn also uses imagery

-of the Pentecost...

0:20:180:20:21

-..and urges the Holy Spirit

-to descend on Wales.

0:20:220:20:25

-The hymn tune is Bro Aber,

-the words by Rev John Roberts.

0:20:250:20:29

-O Tyred I'n Gwaredu, Iesu Da.

0:20:290:20:31

-Thank you for your company

-and goodbye.
