This is the old version always sung when I was a child (it's by Darke)
I prefer it to the Holst version.

Incredible aren't they. I can't believe how they can be such intuitive *accompanists*, which is totally different skill to performance.

Which was in Welsh, I could not see anything in the order of service (it's online) but only skimmed through the pages. I did not see it earlier because the local transmitter was off so will see it tomorrow. I record some programmes for a Welsh friend in the US so I will be sure include that if there is something in Welsh.

I watch everything with subtitles and they were there in Welsh but not English.

That explains it!
Why aren't the readers captioned on screen anymore?
The girl who looked like Harry Potter was kinda cute.
