Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah
Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this barren land.
I am weak, but Thou art mighty;
Hold me with Thy powerful hand.
Strong Deliverer, Strong, Deliverer
Be Thou still my strength and shield
Be Thou still my strength and shield
Open Thou the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing streams do flow;
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through.
Bread of Heaven, Bread of Heaven
Feed me now and evermore
Feed me now and evermore
When I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside;
Bear me through the swelling current
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

Wele'n sefyll rhwng y myrtwydd
Wrthddrych teilwng o fy mryd;
Er o'r braidd 'rwy'n Ei adnabod
Ef uwchlaw gwrthrychau'r byd:
Henffych fore! Henffych fore!
Caf ei weled fel y mae.
Caf ei weled fel y mae.
Rhosyn Saron yw Ei enw,
Gwyn a gwridog, hardd Ei bryd!
Ar ddeng mil y mae'n rhagori
O wrthddrychau penna'r byd ;
Ffrind pechadur! Ffrind pechadur!
Dyma'r llywydd ar y mor.
Dyma'r llywydd ar y mor.
Beth sydd imi mwy a wnelwyf
Ag eilunod gwael y llawr?
Tystio 'r wyf nad yw eu cwmni
I'w gymharu a'm Iesu Mawr.
O! am aros! O! am aros!
Yn Ei gariad ddyddiau f'oes.
Yn Ei gariad ddyddiau f'oes.

Wales' 1976 Grand Slam captain Mervyn Davies has
died at the age of 65.
The former London Welsh and Swansea number
eight won 38 caps and toured with the British and
Irish Lions to New Zealand in 1971 and South Africa
three years later, featuring in eight Tests.
Known throughout the rugby world as 'Merv the
Swerve', he suffered a brain haemorrhage playing for
Swansea against Pontypool in a Welsh Cup semi-final
in 1976 that cut short his career.
Wales mourn Mervyn Davies
after losing battle with cancer
The current Wales team will be crowned RBS 6 Nations champions and Grand
Slam winners if they beat France at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday.
Leading the tributes, WRU president Dennis Gethin said: 'We have lost a
great player, a wonderful ambassador for the game and a true gentlemen.
'I played against Mervyn many times and knew just how good he was, but I
also grew to appreciate him as a true friend.
'In later life he also became an accomplished after dinner speaker, so his loss
will be felt in many ways by so many people.'
WRU chairman and former Wales skipper David Pickering added: 'Mervyn
Davies was a man who epitomised the values of Welsh rugby and will be sadly
missed by everyone who knew him and all who knew of him.

A statement released by the WRU this morning said:
'The Welsh Rugby Union is saddened to learn of the
death of Mervyn Davies who deservedly earned a
worldwide reputation as one of the greats of the
modern game.
'
Flags at the Millennium Stadium are flying at half-
mast from today in honour.'
Davies passed away following a long battle with
cancer.
