    When these lads lift their voices I don't need to understand the Welsh to hear the beauty and soul of this hymn.

    I remember singing this in school. Calon Lan, Sospan Fach and Ar Hyd a Nos were common Welsh language songs for us to sing.

    I am shocked when Simon says he never heard this song before. It seems that the American doesn't sing this most wonderful song in their churches.
    I am from North-east India and elong to a very small tribe called Biate and we used to sing Calon Lan in our church from our childhood but in our own mother tongue as we have this wonderful song translated in our mother tongue by our ancestors.
    We sing this song especially in sunday school services for children.
    It's one of the most Christian popular and loved songs within our community.
    My ancestors told us we were converted into Christianity from Animism by the Welsh missionary in 1890 and now 100% of our tribe practice Christianity.

    No pedir una vida fácil
    Perlas doradas, tan poco significado
    Más bien busca un corazón que sea titulada
    Corazón que es ejércitos, corazón que es limpio
    Corazón limpio y lleno de virtud
    Más claro que los lirios blanco
    Oh, permite que tus corazones bestiaen a Dios verdaderamente
    La alabanza a él todo el día y la noche
    ¿Por qué debo buscar billones de pertenencias terrenales?
    Una vez con alas vuelan lejos
    Sus corazones limpios traen mayores alcances
    Entonces para la vida, la eternidad se queda
    Limpio corazón lleno de bondad
    Más justo es n ar lily bastante
    Sólo un corazón limpio puede cantar
    Cantando el día y el juego de la noche
    (Coro)
    Noche y mañana mi deseo
    El cielo en el ala de la canción
    A Dios, por el bien de mi Ngheidwad
    Dame el corazón limpio
    Limpio corazón lleno de bondad
    Más justo es n ar lily bastante
    Sólo un corazón limpio puede cantar
    Sólo un corazón limpio puede cantar
    (Cantando el día y el juego)
    Limpio corazón lleno de bondad
    Más justo es n ar lily bastante
    Sólo un corazón limpio puede cantar
    Cantando el día y el juego de la noche

      ​@@WalesTheTrueBritons "pure English"? Isn't that an oxymoron? What the rest of the world forget is that the British Isles have been invaded so many times In the past our language incorporated a lot of the invaders languages which makes 'English as she is spoke' so difficult to learn. I could go on forever about spellings and pronunciation, but I won't. I want to learn Welsh 😊
