just back from bedside sitting with my 98 year old Welshman Grandfather, Art Morris, as he crossed over to be with Jesus. I played him many of the Welsh Hymns he loved. His passing was peaceful, but fierce because we do not go gentle. He would have been 99 in May. A WWII vet and a wonderful great-grandfather to my kids as well. to have had such a man worth loving for 55 years as a Grand-dad is such a blessing. I played this song for him a few years back when visiting at his home. He swelled with the power of the voices. Now he joins my Welsh Gran... they were married 74 years and together 76. And may they both play their roles in the Cloud of Witnesses, and the Church Triumphant well. Amen

Honour to your grandfather and to his Redeemer. And to you.

@@gerhardg5186 thank you Gerhard. So glad he was able to get onward to Heaven before all this CCP Virus mess. Gramp helped liberate China from Imperial Japan... least they could do was leave him out of it💖

Amen and thank you for your good words..

As I grow older the more I appreciate my Welsh heritage. I can still picture my father singing along with these great choirs as he listened to them on cd and air conducting. They are so emotionally charged.

Magnificent and spine tingling.

[@Akitorbenov]

Imagine now angels and milions of man and women from all the ages and places singing with with voices that can't stay in their lungs as stripped out in exaltation by the majestic glory of the Lord. The only thing that you can do is to sing cause of the enthralment for His Holy Radiance, and it gives you sathisfacion and joy beyond comprehension in our human condition.

Wonderful! I am of Welsh ancestry. My great-grandfather was born in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales in 1847 and came to the United States in 1866 at the age of 19. He eventually found his way to Lansford, Pennsylvania and he is buried in Summit Hill, Pa. I was told he loved to sing (never heard him or for that matter ever met him as well), as did his son (my grandfather) who I heard sing many times, as did his son (my father) who I heard sing many times as well, as do I, who sounds pretty good in the shower.

[@Bosun25]

I agree with yor sentiments bit; Crawling out of those horrible coal-mines gave them a good standard of living which has now been taken away from them. The Conservatives put child labour down the mines and they removed thier ancestors pride, driving them into poverty and desperation on a massive scale

[@freebeerfordworkers]

I thought the biggest mine owner in Wales was the Scottish Lord Bute who more or less built Cardiff?
