    Hymn translations

     

    Since 2008, I have been working to make the treasures of Welsh hymn-writers accessible to both Welsh and English speakers, to enable the blessing of the wider Body of Christ through greater awareness of the unique voice God has given the Welsh people.

    Below are the translations I have done so far.  I aim to keep updating these, so keep watching this space!

    To view a hymn, click on its title.

    In due course, I hope to produce a bi-lingual CD of the hymns which can be used to assist people learning them.
