Absolutely gutted I'm not going to this tbh. Can't get time off. I was with a Welsh lass for about 4-5 years, so spent lots of time down there and amongst welsh-speakers...Bread of Heaven is possibly the most emotional and soul-stirring hymn, especially when it is sung en masse. Hope it makes Speedo proud.

i assume we'll be using these words, not the ones used above for the welsh rugby team.

 

Guide me, O thou great Redeemer,

Pilgrim through this barren land;

I am weak, but thou art mighty;

Hold me with thy powerful hand:

Bread of heaven, bread of heaven

Feed me till i want no more.

Feed me till i want no more.

 

Open thou the crystal fountain

Whence the healing stream shall flow;

Let the fiery, cloudy pillar

Lead me all my journey through:

Strong deliverer, strong deliverer

Be thou still my strength and shield.

Be thou still my strength and shield.

 

When I tread the verge of Jordan,

Bid my anxious fears subside;

Death of death, and hell's destruction,

Land me safe on Canaan's side:

Songs of praises, songs of praises

I will ever give to thee.

I will ever give to thee.

How have they made it religious ffs?

 

52 thousand people singing Bread of Heaven.

You never been to a funeral before like?

 

(and no i'm not saying the 2 scenarios are identical, but the meaning is the same)

Aren't funerals religious? A minute silence would of been better.  I see they aren't doing that either.
