Book description

number one through to forty. From Guide Me, O Thou Great
Redeemer to Dear Lord and Father of Mankind and Shine
Jesus Shine, each is accompanied by the history of its words and
music.
Aled brings the hymns vividly to life with his own reminiscences of
performing them and thoughts on why each is such a winner, and he
