I am a proud welshman and consider this one of the most magnificent hymns ever written. I have insisted this be sung at my funeral. This version by the choir close to where I was born is one of my favourites.

You are right.

As kids we would sing the chorus ' Bread from Evans's, tea from Jones's, beer from the Miners Arms'. Anyone caught would get a clip around the ear.

I'm having flashbacks now to Not the Nine O'Clock News when I hear this song 🤣

I'm not even Welsh and this hymn brings me to tears every time I hear it. Thank you for posting.

It was 1958 when I first heard Bread of Heaven. We were a scruffy bunch of schoolkids from Rotherham who were invited to play Rugby at Tonypandy Grammer school, an annual event going back some year., After the game , a shower, some lunch, speeches and then a rendition of that very moving song sang by all the lads and teachers, I will never forget it. Good luck to Wales in the Euro 2016. Sing your heart out for the lads.

Well said!

There's nothing the olden days golden Hymn like this song.

Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah, 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 now the crystal fountain, Whence the healing stream doth flow; Let the fire and 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. Lord, I trust Thy mighty power, Wondrous are Thy works of old; Thou deliver’st Thine from thralldom, Who for naught themselves had sold: Thou didst conquer, Thou didst conquer, Sin, and Satan and the grave, Sin, and Satan and the grave. When I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside; Death of deaths, 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. Musing on my habitation, Musing on my heav’nly home, Fills my soul with holy longings: Come, my Jesus, quickly come; Vanity is all I see; Lord, I long to be with Thee! Lord, I long to be with Thee! They don’t write em like they used to…. So doctrinally rich, and not the same 3 word line over and over and over again.

This hymn only ever sounds at it's best when sung by a Welsh choir.

We sang this at my wedding 6 months ago. Beautiful setting on a lake in Kenya... the local pastor introduced it as, "The famous Irish Hymn"! I leant over and corrected him. He said, "I am so sorry if I have upset the people of Wales with my mistake. We shall now sing the famous Welsh hymn..."

Hi from KE

Just lost my lovely Welsh friend she chose this song to be sung at her funeral.I couldn’t go but listened to this beautiful song here at home

There is nothing like a Welsh male voice choir. The Celts have music in their soul 🎶😊

I have to admit as an Englishman you Welsh do have the best songs about your country

There is something about this that just cuts straight through to the soul. If you can listen to this and not cry then I truly feel sorry for you. And I'm English!

My grandmother was an organist and choir director for 62 years. She also taught at a Baptist seminary in the 50's.I spent 12 yrs growing up in her home in Valley Forge, PA.This was one of her favorites.

This played at my stepdads funeral 3rd Jan 2020. Mams family welsh. X

My grandfather david sandles sang for the beaumont male voice choir which whom were based in and around the swansea area ( south wales ). Which this hymn is traditionally sang in welsh but this particullar track is amazing just the way it is especially the art work that goes with it. Wales forever and always and poppy your voice singing this to me especially @ my mothers funeral and for most of my childhood will always remain within my heart. Thqnkyou uploader :-)

Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven, Feed me now and evermore, Feed me now and evermore.

(Last Chorus - English) Oh, to stay, Oh, to stay, In his love all days of life, In his love all days of life!

I just found this wonderful hymn, thank you so much for posting it. I haven't heard this for so long and now, from a whole continent and many years away it just reaches across and takes me straight home. Diolch yn fawr iawn

A great hymn - one of my own personal favourites - based on the flight of the Israelites out of Egypt under the leadership of Moses, one of the greatest leaders of any period in history. The 'Bread of Heaven' is the Manna that fell from the sky so that the refugees could survive and go on to found the great nation of Israel.

Brilliant song & a brilliant recording. Thank you for sharing. 😊

How beautiful. This has really lifted my spirits x

Loved this hymn for as long as I can remembrr. Delighted to find this uploaded. Many thanks!

the most stunning version of this song i have ever heard,very moving

Absolutely galvanizing! The best version of this wonderful hymn EVER.

Wow! What a blast... have goosebumps all over. Thanks for this magnificent experience!

I woke up with this song in my head. I had to hear it again

One of my friends who was a priest loved this hymn.

This was sang at both my Granddad and Grandmother's funeral. It will be sang at mine too. The most moving hymm I have ever heard without a doubt.

I'm English, but this turns me into I know not what. God be praised.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. I had a friend who was an Anglican Priest (obviously the Church of England) who LOVED this hymn.

After hearing this version and looking through the comments to find out who sung it, it was played at my dear dad's funeral. He was from the Rhondda Valley. This piece of music will always hold a place in my heart. Thank you.

Interesting! My grandmother, too, was an organist for a long time at our Episcopal church--she also loved this hymn and "How Firm A Foundation" which is another of my favorites.

Every year , my school song this at our commemoration service in Canterbury cathedral, being welsh I belt it out with pride every time

I love the sound of Welsh male choirs.

From the USA, geetings on this St David's Day to the Land of Song. May the good saint and the Red Dragon forever watch over you all.

The best rendition of this song I have ever heard. This should stand forever as a monument to western greatness.

Beautifully sung!

I’ve been listening to this since the children’s choir sang it in the 2012 London olympics opening ceremony

Superb .. reminds me of my Welsh rugby teachers from 1977/82 .. john Jones and Griffiths ( fat neck ) .. st Martins school Hutton Brentwood Essex

Great song and a great video. I can't wait to go back to Wales next June.

Wonderful absolutely wonderful

A wonderful soaring heartwaming anthem .

Beautiful , WALES FOREVER

When they sung this at the football for Gary Speed it just meant a lot.

We'll be singing our hearts out! God bless you Gary.

A great, great rendition of a song which is so much more than something sung at Welsh rugby games - A bedrock of Christian worship about the promise of life eternal through the person the "bread of (life) heaven", hence we sang it with youth brass band opposite the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff at our son's funeral.

@mrspenn1611 Thank you very much. What a lovely reply. I attended my uncle's funeral last week and Bread of heaven was chosen by my aunt. It's becoming a family tradition! It was when we had to sing it that I broke down. This piece of music gets me every time. I hear it and makes me proud to have welsh blood pumping through my veins. It's especially moving when a Welsh male voice choir sings it.

Wonderful!

So beautiful and such a beautiful video!🌻😊 Only wish there were lyrics so I could sing along!

I can't listen to this without thinking of that episode of One Foot in the Grave where Victor finds the tape with the car mechanics' song on it

Wonderful!"By this bread is meant the heavenly sustenance of divine perfections. In other words, whoso partakes of this sustenance-that is, whoso acquires the outpouring grace of God, draws illumination from His light, and obtains his portion of the perfections of Christ-will attain everlasting life." - Abdu’l-Baha

Please listen to the men singing it in the film 'How Green Was My Valley'. Just Superbly Perfect & Powerful!
