Psalm 23 lyrics - Charlotte Church

The Lord is my shepherd there is nothing I shall want.

Fresh and green are the pastures where he gives me repose

Near restful waters he leads me, to revive my drooping spirit

He guides me along the right path. He is true to his name

If I should walk in the valley of darkness, no evil would I fear.

You are there with your crook and your staff; 

with these you give comfort.

You have prepared a banquet for me in the sight of my foes;

My Head you have anointed with oil; my cup is overflowing.

Surely goodness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my life.

In the Lord's own house shall I dwell forever and ever.

In the Lord's own house shall I dwell forever.

I Vow To Thee, My Country lyrics - Charlotte Church

I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,

Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love:

the love that asks no questions, the love that stands the test,

That lays upon the altar, the dearest and the best;

the love that never falters, the love that pays the price,

the love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.

[Repeat]

And there's another country, I've heard of long ago

Most dear to them that loves her, most great to them that know;

We may not count her armies, we may not see her King:

Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering:

And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,

And her ways are ways of gentleness and all her paths are peace.

[Repeat]

Danny Boy lyrics - Charlotte Church

O Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling

From glen to glen, and down the mountain side.

The summer's gone and all the roses falling;

It's you, it's you must go and I must hide.

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,

Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow

I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow;

Oh Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy, I love you so!

But when ye come, and all the flow'rs are dying

If I am dead, as dead I may well be.

Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying.

And kneel and say an Ave there for me.

And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me;

And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be.

For you will bend and tell me that you love:

And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me!

My Lagan Love lyrics - Charlotte Church

Where Lagan stream sings lullaby

There blows a lily fair:

The twilight gleam is in her eye,

The night is on her hair.

And, like a love-sick lenanshee,

She hath my heart to thrall:

Nor life I owe, nor liberty,

For love is lord of all

And often when the beetles horn

Hath lulled the eve to sleep,

I steal unto her shieling lorn

And thro' the dooring peep. 

There on the cricket's singing stone

She spares the bog wood fire.

And hums in sad sweet undertone

The song of heart's desire.

Suo-Gan (Welsh Air) lyrics - Charlotte Church

Huna blentyn, ar fy mynwes,

Clyd a chynmes ydyw hon;

Breichiau mam sy'n dyn amdant,

Cariad mam sy dan fy mron.

Ni chaiff dim amharu'th gynum,

Ni wna undyn a thi gam:

Huna'n dawel, annwyl bientyn,

Huna'n fwyn ar fron dy fam.

Huna'n dawel hana huna

Huna'n fwyn y del ei lun:

Pam yr wyt yn awr yn gwenu.

Gwenu'n dirion yn dy hun

Ai angylion fry sy'n gwenu

Arnat yno'n gwenu'n llon

Titha'u'n gwenu'n ol a huno,

Huno'n dawel ar fy mron.

Paid ag ofni, dim ond deilen

Gura, gura ar y ddor;

Paid ag ofni ton fach unig

Sua, sua ay lan y mor,

Huna blentyn nid oes yma

Ddim I roddi iti fraw;

Ar yr engl gwynion draw. To my lullaby surrender,

Warm and tender is my breast;

Mother's arms with love caressing

Lay their blessing on your rest;

Nothing shall tonight alarm you,

None shall harm you, have no fear;

Lie contented, calmly slumber

On your mother's breast my dear.

Here tonight I tightly hold you

And enfold you while you sleep,

Why, I wonder, are you smiling

Smiling in your slumber deep?

Are the angels on you smiling

And beguiling you with charm,

While you also smile, my blossom, 

In my bosom soft and warm? 

Have no fear now, leaves are knocking,

Gently knocking at our door; 

Have no fear now, waves are beating,

Gently beating on the shore.

Sleep, my darling, none shall harm you 

Nor alarm you, never 

And beguiling those on high.

A Lullaby lyrics - Charlotte Church

I'll set you a swing in a purple bell

of the Lady finger, 

Where brown bees linger

And loiter long

I'll set you a swing in a fairy dell,

To the silv'ry ring

of a fairy song.

I'll put you afloat in a boat of pearl

On a moonlit sea,

Where your path shall be

Of silver and blue

To fairyland children, sweet girl, 

To its rod-strewn strand bathed in glist'ning dew

Bathed in glist'ning dew. 

I'll make you a nest, a soft, warm nest,

In my heart's core, 

Alanniv ashore 

When day is gone,

Where costly curled on mother's breast

My Share o' the world 

You'll rest till dawn

Amazing Grace lyrics - Charlotte Church

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost but now I'm found,

Was blind but now I see.

T'was grace that taught my heart to fear

And grace my fear relieved

How precious did that grace appear,

The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares

We have already come

T'was grace that brought us safe thus far 

And grace will lead us home.

When we've been there ten thousand years

Bright shining as the sun;

We've no less days to sing God's praise

Than when we first begun.

Y Gylfinir - Allegretto lyrics - Charlotte Church

Dy alwd glywir hanner dydd 

Fel Ffliwt hyfydais uwch y rhos

Fel chwiban bugail a fo gudd 

Dy alwad glywir hanner nos;

Nes clywir, pan ddwys a dy swn

Cyfarth dy anweledig gwn. 

Dy braidd yw'r moel gymylau maith,

A'th barod gwyn yw'r pedwar gwynt

Gorlann'th ddiadelloedd llaith

I'w gwasgar eilwaith ar eu hynt

Yn yrr ddiorffwys, laes ddifref

Hyd lynfnion hafodlasau'r nef. Your call is heard at high noon-day,

A wistful flute across the mere; 

As herdsman's whistle far away

Your call is heard at midnight clear

then hear we, as you swell your keen,

Baring afar, your hounds unseen.

Your flocks the massive clouds of grey,

And all four winds you eager hounds

Awhile do pen them ere they stray,

And scatter once more out of hounds,

A mute and restless drove on high

Amid the shielings of the sky

Tylluanod - Andante lyrics - Charlotte Church

Pan fyddair'r nos yn alau, 

A llwch y ffordd yn wyn, 

A'r bont yn wag sy'n croesi'r dwr

Difwstwr ym Mhen LlynO'er 

Y tylluanod yn eu tro 

Glywid o lwyncoed Cwm y Glo 

Pan siglai'r hwyaid gwyltion

Wrth angor dan y lloer

A Llyn y Ffridd ar Ffridd y Llyn 

Trostynt yn chwipio'n oer, 

Lleisio'n ddidostur wnaent I ru 

Y gwynt o Goed y Mynydd Du 

Pan lithrai gloyw ddwr Glaslyn 

I'r gwyll, fel cledd I'r wain, 

Pan gochai pell ffenestri'r plas 

Rhwng briglas lwyn'r brain 

Pan gaeai syrthni safnau'r cwn 

Nosai Ynys for yn eu swn 

A phan dywlla'r cread 

Wedi'I wallgofddydd maith 

A dyfod gosteg diystwr 

Pob gweithiwr a phob gwaith 

Ni bydd eu Lladin ar fy llw 

Na llon na lleddf "Tw-whit, Tw-hw" When night was lit by moon-glow 

And dusty roads lay white

The empty bridge bestrode the stream

water's gleam so bright

The owls were heard eachone in turn

From Cwm y Glo across the burn.

When wild ducks swayed at anchor

Beneath the moonbeams bold,

When moaning wind it's woe did sing,

Whipping the wavelets cold,

Pitiless was their hooting then

From Myndd Du across the glen.

When gleaming Glaslyn glided

Through dusk, like sword to sheath,

When distant mansions' windows glowed

Through shadowed woodland's wreath,

When sullen silence stunned the hounds

Ynys for's night fell to their sounds.

And When the worlds shall darken

Ended their frantic day.

And when the stealthy stillness minds

All mankind's work and play

Still shall their Latin sound 'tis true.

Nor glad nor sad, "Tu whit, tu whoo"

Mae Hiraeth Yn Y Mor - Moderato lyrics - Charlotte Church

Mae hiraeth yn y mor a'r mynydd maith

Mae hiraeth mewn distawrwydd ac mewn can

Mewn murmur dyfroedd ar dragwydd daith

Yn oriau'r machlud ac yn fflamau'r tan

Ond mwynaf yn y gwynt y dwed ei gwyn

A thristaf yn yr hesg y cwyna'r gwynt

Gan ddeffro adlais adlais yn y brwyn,

Ac yn y galon, atgof atgof gynt

Fel pan wrandawer yn y cyfddydd hir

Ar gan y ceiliog yn y glwyd gerlaw:

Yn deffro caniad ar ol caniad clir

O'r gerddi agos, nes o'r llechwedd draw

Y cwyd un olaf ei leferydd ef

A mwynder trist y pelter yn ei lef. 

There's longing in the sea and mountains grey

There's longing too in silence and in song

In murm'ring waters on their endless way,

At sunset hours and firelight's flames among

But fondes in the wind it mkes it moan

And saddest in the sedge the wind replies

Awaking echo's with it's tone

And mem'ry mem'ry in the hearts deep sighs

As when one hearkens to the chanticleer

At hand with eager song at break of day

Evoking answer upon answer clear

From nearby gardens, till from away

A last lone songster lifts his voice on high.

With distance's sad longing in its cry.
