Lyrics
:
A new wind's blowing over the hill And down the mountainside Through the vales and valleys over land and sea and sky From the fairgrounds of the north to the southern city streets From the west still holding back the sea To the border towns in the east For now and forever more, from today and from now on Let's hear the congregation sing "Cwm Rhondda Oh My Lord" Great, great change in the fair country The future lies with our sons and daughters South will meet with north Say, say a prayer for the fair country Great is a need for our new Wales Many will rise and many will fall and history will say Today was built on yesterday As tomorrow will be built on today As the first ray of hope is cut From the dawning of the brand new sun Let all things come together on all sides of the mother tongue For now and forever more, from today and from now on Let's hear the congregation sing "Cwm Rhondda Oh My Lord" Great, great change in the fair country The future lies with our sons and daughters South will meet with north Say, say a prayer for the fair country Great is a need for our new Wales For now and forever more, from today and from now on Let's hear the congregation sing "Cwm Rhondda Oh My Lord" Great, great change in the fair country The future lies with our sons and daughters South will meet with north Say, say a prayer for the fair country Great is a need for our new Wales Oh someone hear my prayer Oh someone hear my prayer Oh someone hear my prayer Oh someone hear my prayer Oh someone hear my prayer Oh someone hear my prayer Oh someone hear my prayer Oh someone hear my prayer Oh someone hear my prayer Oh someone hear my prayer for our new Wales
