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.
Beautiful song, beautiful country. My heart is full. Thank you.
I find it the most emotional version.
N Wales is certainly beautiful, and Welsh male voice choirs are superb.
The choir sings heavenly and Wales is so beautiful. It looked like there were twins in the last photo.
Greetings Maria x
I have Welsh blood in me, and love male voice choirs. They produce a very emotional sound.
Absolutely beautiful. Lovely start to my day.
I keep listening to it. Haunting.
Beautiful 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.
Phew so full of emotion. Beautiful singing and powerful words
Don't believe it; they've mistaken it for Welsh!
Wonderful, isn't it.
One of my favourites and a beautiful rendition. JG will be in bits after that 😠XXXX
I hope it may encourage him to stay (and join the choir).
It 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.
funny I heard them singing this only two weeeks ago . I walked the dogs as choir practice was on
It's obviously a sign John that you are meant to stay :) xx
Blimey, Cro. What have you done?
I used to go to an Uncle's farm on holiday. There was a stream too; it was magical.
I agree; what would they do without him!
Stirred a Hornet's nest, I hope.
I like to hear the Welsh sing spontaneously like at football matches best of all.
You probably meant at RUGBY matches. That's when they really sing!
Now that was wonderful.
Thank you!
Beautiful harmonies. Quite a way to start my morning, here. -Jenn
It's a classic.
We all thank Trelawnyd.
Good; mine too.
Beautiful, 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.
It did bring tears to my eyes Cro. Wales is beautiful and the soft lull from the choir was lovely! Gabs
What 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!
I've listened several times now and will come back and back for more. Absolutely beautiful.
A beautifully restrained performance.
Most of us, when thinking of Trelawnyd; think of John. The two are inseparable.
I was serious about the tissues!
North Wales is stunning, only occasionally let down by the weather.
That is so beautiful and sung as only a Welsh male voice choir can!
