Mighty Christ from time eternal,
Mighty, He man's nature takes,
Mighty, when on Calv'ry dying
Mighty, death itself He breaks.
See His might,
Infinite,
King of heaven and earth by right!
Mighty was He in heaven's purpose,
Mighty, in the pledge to save,
Mighty, from His birth to Calv'ry,
Mighty, bursting from the grave.
Still will He
Mighty be
When things hidden now we see.
Great my Jesus in His Person,
Great as God and man is He,
Great His comeliness and beauty,
White and ruddy, fair to see.
Great that sight,
Sovereign Might,
Throned secure on heaven's height!
Translated from the Welsh of Titus Lewis and an anonymous writer (verse 2) by Graham Harrison.

The second verse doesn't quite scan.
I can sing the whole thing full pelt, and it goes pretty high. I think my voice is welsh.
I love the hymn.
I should have mentioned the tune (Bryn Myrddin). Very good. It sounds difficult but isn't really. We 15 managed fine last Sunday evening even though we'd never sung it together before.
There's quite a difference between your am and pm congregations then? We get around 20 at both.
Yes several have a good excuse but there are a few oncers who should know better. See http://darbygray.blogspot.com/2007/09/archive-9a-why-twice.html and
