Beth, thanks for the tune. What means "Y Delyn Aur" in Welsh?

"Y Delyn Aur' means 'The Golden Harp'. The hymn was a popular part of the repertoire of male voice choirs. My father was a lifelong member of the Morriston Orpheus choir. I remember listening to their version of it as a child on our record player. You can listen to it now on YouTube -

The first verse ends with the words "Ni bydd diwedd byth ar sŵn y delyn aur"  - 'there will never be an end to the sound of the golden harp'.

I’m glad you enjoy the Welsh tunes, Davis. Hopefully, with a bit more practice, my playing will be as good as yours. :-)
