-..and John Milton's epic song, -Paradise Lost. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:45 | |
-As I devised the series, -Sopranos... | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
-..a section -from this piece was essential. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |

-"Each day for two years... | 0:21:57 | 0:22:00 | |
-"..I begged God to give me -the strength to finish the work." | 0:22:00 | 0:22:04 | |

-As a Swansea girl and Welsh woman... | 0:36:02 | 0:36:05 | |
-..I love the work -of Morfydd Llwyn Owen. | 0:36:05 | 0:36:08 | |
-She composed one of my favourite -Welsh language songs... | 0:36:08 | 0:36:12 | |
-..Gweddi Y Pechadur. | 0:36:12 | 0:36:14 | |
-She passed away -at the tender age of 27... | 0:36:15 | 0:36:19 | |
-..and is buried -on the outskirts of Swansea. | 0:36:20 | 0:36:22 | |
-She died -in suspicious circumstances. | 0:36:23 | 0:36:25 | |
-She had a tempestuous relationship -with the psychologist, Ernest Jones. | 0:36:25 | 0:36:31 | |
-It was never proved, but -some believe that he poisoned her. | 0:36:31 | 0:36:36 | |
-Some argue the correct title -of the song is Gweddi Pechadur... | 0:36:37 | 0:36:41 | |
-..not Gweddi Y Pechadur. | 0:36:41 | 0:36:43 | |
-However, Morfydd Llwyn Owen chose -the title, Gweddi Y Pechadur... | 0:36:44 | 0:36:48 | |
-..suggesting that Morfydd herself -is the sinner in the song... | 0:36:48 | 0:36:53 | |
-..who is begging God -for forgiveness. | 0:36:53 | 0:36:56 | |
-# Before thee, oh Lord | 0:37:02 | 0:37:07 | |
-# I bow | 0:37:08 | 0:37:11 | |

-# I'm dying | 0:38:27 | 0:38:33 | |
-# Without the Lord's grace | 0:38:33 | 0:38:39 | |
-# A sinner | 0:38:46 | 0:38:50 | |
-# My sin I confess | 0:38:50 | 0:38:54 | |
-# Dear Lord, I deserve to be cursed | 0:38:54 | 0:39:00 | |
-# I am poor | 0:39:01 | 0:39:05 | |

-# Have mercy upon me | 0:39:12 | 0:39:20 | |
-# I confess I have no virtue | 0:39:20 | 0:39:26 | |
-# Through my life and to the grave | 0:39:26 | 0:39:31 | |

-# I once heard of Jesus | 0:40:06 | 0:40:14 | |
-# An eternal redeemer | 0:40:14 | 0:40:22 | |
-# He did not turn away publicans | 0:40:23 | 0:40:29 | |
-# Or the greatest of sinners | 0:40:30 | 0:40:38 | |
-# Oh, take me | 0:40:38 | 0:40:44 | |
