Listening with my morning coffee, what a day brightener!
Raises a question for you: What portion of your work/daily life is in Welsh? I remember you saying years ago that you had some basics when you were in the shops. How easy is it to pick up, can you carry a conversation? I understand that the majority of people also speak English.
Researching the history of the village …in the 1940s the only English speaking family lived in my cottage and the father was the village coal man . There is still a good handful of Welsh speakers here……in the hospice which is located in Llandudno , 25 miles west , the majority of nurses are from north west wales and most speak Welsh fluently
Stirring and inspirational! The only word I understood, of course, was "amen" at the end, LOL! And oh my, that wonderful image of the metalwork dragon fire pit!
John. that is beautiful and I'm now listening to some meditation music that YouTube added next. It's a very peaceful start to the weekend - and all thanks to you!

DeleteWell done. What is the hymn about?
ReplyDeleteEnglish translation
DeleteI hear a tender voice
Calling out to me,
To come and wash away all my faults
In the river of Calvary.
Chorus
Lord, here am I
At Your call;
Wash me pure white in the blood
Shed on Calvary.
Jesus invites me
To receive, with His saints,
Faith, hope, pure love, and peace,
And every heavenly privilege.
Jesus strengthens
His work within me by grace;
He gives strength to my weak soul
To overcome my hateful sin.
Glory forever for the plan
Of atonement and cleansing;
I accept Jesus just as I am,
And I sing of the blood.
Thank you for the translation, John!
DeleteHugs!
