Are you Tottenham in disguise

16 years insane!!!!

My old pal at Glasgow art school Alan Kane used to put wan hawn oor his left ear and blast this oot while banging his right knee and foot doune in time...how i miss him...Alan get in touch mate.

This is a good example of a capstan song. The sailors would sing it to keep in time as they pushed on the levers of the capstan, the device that winds up anchor chains as the ship is raising the anchor. Such songs were also sung while hauling in any cables (ropes) or chains. On modern ships, motors wind the capstans, but sailors can still sing for fun.

Well?

Tune

Jesus H. Christ

This is still the best version ever on the ears

Artherog!! Artherog. Diolch yn fawr iawn i chi. Colyn.

Come Rondda❤

I don’t care where the song came from this is the best version of the song I’ve ever heard

I love this version for the sound of it

It’s the best version of the song I’ve ever heard. The sound quality is bad on every other place I’ve heard it

My go to drunk sad song… love it… my inner welsh coming out

My absolute favourite hymn, and this is the best version on KZbin by some margin.

With the bottle of rum and the loaf of bread😂

I never knew you cared

My heart revived, my soul replenished..my "Being" is cleansed.

Magnificent and timeless hymn! My Anglican church in South Carolina uses two different versions of it pretty regularly. Thanks for posting this beautiful rendition!

Quint Likes this song 🥰

Beautiful.

No one cares enough to do any action, how far we fallen from being a Christian county.

YOURE NOT SINGING ANYMORE!

Dirige me, Redemptor magne, Peregrinus per hanc terram sterilem; infirmus sum, sed potens es; Tene me manu potenti tua: Panem caeli, pasce me donec non indigeam. Aperi fontem cristallum, unde sanator fluet amnis; Ignea columna nubis Duc me per omne iter: Fortis et protector meus esto adhuc robore meo. Iordanem calcans, iube timores anxios; Mors mortis, et interitus inferni, Terra me tutus in parte Canaan, Cantica laudis semper dabo tibi.

Beautiful! Christ had Come, Me to Redeem!

Sublime

Why hasn’t this gone viral ?

Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah, Pilgrim through this barren land. I am weak, but Thou art mighty; Hold me with Thy powerful hand. Bread of Heaven, Bread of Heaven, Feed me till I want no more; Feed me till I want no more. Open now the crystal fountain, Whence the healing stream doth flow; Let the fire and cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through. Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer, Be Thou still my Strength and Shield; Be Thou still my Strength and Shield. Lord, I trust Thy mighty power, Wondrous are Thy works of old; Thou deliver’st Thine from thralldom, Who for naught themselves had sold: Thou didst conquer, Thou didst conquer, Sin, and Satan and the grave, Sin, and Satan and the grave. When I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside; Death of deaths, and hell’s destruction, Land me safe on Canaan’s side. Songs of praises, songs of praises, I will ever give to Thee; I will ever give to Thee. Musing on my habitation, Musing on my heav’nly home, Fills my soul with holy longings: Come, my Jesus, quickly come; Vanity is all I see; Lord, I long to be with Thee! Lord, I long to be with Thee! They don’t write em like they used to…. So doctrinally rich, and not the same 3 word line over and over and over again.

I’m nine and I’m thinking about how this was 16 years ago

Lyrics: Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah, Pilgrim through this barren land. I am weak, but Thou art mighty; Hold me with Thy powerful hand. Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven, Feed me now and evermore, Feed me now and evermore. Open now the crystal fountain, Whence the healing stream doth flow; Let the fire and cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through. Strong Deliverer, Strong Deliverer, Be Thou still my Strength and Shield. Be Thou still my Strength and Shield. When I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside; Led me through the swelling torrent, Land me safe on Canaan's side. Songs of praises, Songs of praises, I will ever give to Thee, I will ever give to Thee. (Last Chorus - Welsh) O, am aros, O, am aros, Yn Ei gariad ddyddiau f'oes, Yn Ei gariad ddyddiau f'oes! (Last Chorus - English) Oh, to stay, Oh, to stay, In his love all days of life, In his love all days of life!

As kids we would sing the chorus ' Bread from Evans's, tea from Jones's, beer from the Miners Arms'. Anyone caught would get a clip around the ear.

Been listening to this since I was a kid; Mum had the Album. That's 1960s. We've lost them all now (The Clancys) and Tommy..

incomparably tender

All Hail our old Purdue!

As a proud Scotsman I can honestly only think of one thing that springs to mind after hearing this. Rule Britannia.

I'm army, and even I think this song and the propaganda of the time is just so enchanting and makes me want to be a seaman.

Como española 🇪🇦 , esta es la mejor versión con diferencia 👏

Farewell Spanish lady’s

Love the photographs as well ss the shanty!!!!!!❤❤❤

Please listen to the men singing it in the film 'How Green Was My Valley'. Just Superbly Perfect & Powerful!

GLORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Timmy!

I am Jewish born in Cardiff, now living in Israel and just cry when I hear this.

The hymn and the choir are quite powerful at delivering emotion. I find similar lyrics online, but not the same. Does anyone know how to get this version’s lyrics?

Sang this at school......wonderful

Love this song and lee inglebys part of it in master and commander, such a very true voice, this version sounds like a strong element of a Welsh voice choir . Artist is Robert Shaw but also another Robert Shaw from Jaws sung a parody he actually has a fantastic vocal range as played when out to sea in the film.

The taste of the English cusine and the the beauty of English women made the Englishmen the best sailors of the world.

Wonderful

Wonderful absolutely wonderful
