Förlagets beskrivning
Even as many in the modern world draw away from organised religion, the great hymns of our time persist: we turn to them at weddings and funerals, at rugby matches and in pubs. Bringing together twelve of Waless best-loved hymns, from the eighteenth to the twentieth century, Poems from the Soul reveals the heart and soul of a peoples poetry. These are the poems of ordinary folk blacksmiths, farmers and preachers and they played a vital role in the creation of the Welsh people. Ranging from the visionary intensity of Ann Griffiths to the striking biblical imagery of Waless unofficial national anthem, Guide Me, O Thou Great Redeemer, in every hymn a single, singular voice sings out, loud and strong with fear, hope, ecstasy or anxiety. With original illustrations by Ruth Jn Evans throughout, this collection offers insights into the making of a modern nation and demonstrates the transformative power of voices raised in song
