The _most_ popular Welsh hymns would be named variously by different witnesses according to the breadth and length of their observation. Two of them, as a Wrexham music publisher testifies, are certainly the following; "Heaven and Home," and "Lo, a Saviour for the Fallen." The first of these was sung in the late revival with "stormy rapture." "O FRYNAU CAERSALEM CEIR GIVELED." The heights of fair Salem ascended, Each wilderness path we shall see; Now thoughts of each difficult journey A sweet meditation shall be. On death, on the grave and its terrors And storms we shall gaze from above And freed from all cares we shall revel (?) In transports of heavenly love. According to the mood of the meeting this was pitched in three sharps to Evelyn Evans' tune of "Eirinwg" or with equal Welsh enthusiasm in the C minor of old "Darby." The author of the hymn was the Rev. David Charles, of Carmarthen, born 1762; died 1834. He was a heavenly-minded man who loved to dwell on the divine and eternal wonders of redemption. A volume of his sermons was spoken of as "Apples of gold in pictures of silver," and the beautiful piety of all his writings made them strings of pearls. He understood English as well as Welsh, and enjoyed the hymns not only of William and Thomas Williams but of Watts, Wesley, Cowper, and Newton.[43] [Footnote 43: The following verses were written by him in English: Spirit of grace and love divine, Help me to sing that Christ is mine; And while the theme my tongue employs Fill Thou my soul with living joys. Jesus is mine--surpassing thought! Well may I set the world at nought; Jesus is mine, O can it be That Jesus lived and died for me?] "DYMA GEIDWAD I R COLLEDIG." Lo! a Saviour for the fallen, Healer of the sick and sore, One whose love the vilest sinners Seeks to pardon and restore. Praise Him, praise Him Who has loved us evermore! The little now known of the Rev. Morgan Rhys, author of this hymn, is that he was a schoolmaster and preacher, and that he was a contemporary and friend of William Williams. Several of his hymns remain in use of which the oftenest sung is one cited above, and "_O agor fy llygaid i weled_:" I open my eyes to this vision, The deeps of Thy purpose and word; The law of Thy lips is to thousands Of gold and of silver preferred; When earth is consumed, and its treasure, God's words will unchanging remain, And to know the God-man is my Saviour Is life everlasting to gain. "Lo! a Saviour for the Fallen" finds an appropriate voice in W.M. Robert's tune of "Nesta," and also, like many others of the same measure, in the much-used minors "Llanietyn," "Catharine," and "Bryn Calfaria." "O SANCTEIDDIA F'ENAID ARGLWYDD."
