Someone says he's going to leave all this. I don't believe him.
If you wish to sing along, the lyrics are below. You might also hear JG in the background. Tissues at the ready.
God on high
Hear my prayer
In my need
You have always been there
He is young
He's afraid
Let him rest
Heaven blessed.
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.
He's like the son I might have known
If God had granted me a son.
The summers die
One by one
How soon they fly
On and on
And I am old
And will be gone.
Bring him peace
Bring him joy
He is young
He is only a boy
You can take
You can give
Let him be
Let him live
If I die, let me die
Let him live
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.
Hear my prayer
In my need
You have always been there
He is young
He's afraid
Let him rest
Heaven blessed.
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.
He's like the son I might have known
If God had granted me a son.
The summers die
One by one
How soon they fly
On and on
And I am old
And will be gone.
Bring him peace
Bring him joy
He is young
He is only a boy
You can take
You can give
Let him be
Let him live
If I die, let me die
Let him live
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.
Tissue is here, more than one.
ReplyDeleteI find it the most emotional version.
DeleteBeautiful song, beautiful country. My heart is full. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteN Wales is certainly beautiful, and Welsh male voice choirs are superb.
DeleteThe choir sings heavenly and Wales is so beautiful. It looked like there were twins in the last photo.
ReplyDeleteGreetings Maria x
I have Welsh blood in me, and love male voice choirs. They produce a very emotional sound.
DeleteBeautiful song. Also love Welsh Male Voice Choirs - perhaps it is the Welsh blood in me although my DNA shows more Irish for some weird reason.
DeleteDon't believe it; they've mistaken it for Welsh!
DeleteAbsolutely beautiful. Lovely start to my day.
ReplyDeleteI keep listening to it. Haunting.
DeletePhew so full of emotion. Beautiful singing and powerful words
ReplyDeleteWonderful, isn't it.
DeleteOne of my favourites and a beautiful rendition. JG will be in bits after that 😠XXXX
ReplyDeleteI hope it may encourage him to stay (and join the choir).
DeleteIt captures Wales, grey stone churches and chapels, a landscape so beautiful it makes one weep.As a child I would be sent to a Welsh farm in the holidays, trailing down to the river with a pig in tow to fish for trout with my brother. JG will not leave Wales, or his home, without a great deal of thought.
ReplyDeleteI used to go to an Uncle's farm on holiday. There was a stream too; it was magical.
Deletefunny I heard them singing this only two weeeks ago . I walked the dogs as choir practice was on
ReplyDeleteIt's obviously a sign John that you are meant to stay :) xx
DeleteI agree; what would they do without him!
DeleteBlimey, Cro. What have you done?
ReplyDeleteStirred a Hornet's nest, I hope.
DeleteI like to hear the Welsh sing spontaneously like at football matches best of all.
ReplyDeleteYou probably meant at RUGBY matches. That's when they really sing!
DeleteNow that was wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIt's a classic.
DeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteWe all thank Trelawnyd.
DeleteBeautiful harmonies. Quite a way to start my morning, here. -Jenn
ReplyDeleteGood; mine too.
DeleteBeautiful, beautiful, beautiful, in every way. I do hope that John stays, but if not, I am sure that wherever he goes, he will be loved.
ReplyDeleteMost of us, when thinking of Trelawnyd; think of John. The two are inseparable.
DeleteIt did bring tears to my eyes Cro. Wales is beautiful and the soft lull from the choir was lovely! Gabs
ReplyDeleteI was serious about the tissues!
DeleteWhat gorgeous countryside! I was a little shocked to see the photo at the end as I hadn't realised who was the subject of the song. A bit slow this morning!
ReplyDeleteNorth Wales is stunning, only occasionally let down by the weather.
DeleteI've listened several times now and will come back and back for more. Absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteA beautifully restrained performance.
ReplyDeleteThat is so beautiful and sung as only a Welsh male voice choir can!
