Gwahoddiad
“Gwahoddiad” (Welsh for 'invitation'), was originally the English-language gospel song "I Am Coming, Lord", the first line of which is “I hear thy welcome voice”. The English words and the tune were written in 1872 by the American Methodist minister and gospel songwriter Lewis Hartsough. The words are based on the Gospel according to John, Chapter 10, verse 27. The English words with Hartsough's tune first appeared in the 1872 edition with five verses.
The Welsh version “Gwahoddiad” was translated by Calvinisic Methodist minister and musician Ieuan Gwyllt, literally John the Wild with the bardic name of John Roberts. The Welsh translation has four verses.
It has become so well known in Wales that, despite its American origin, many people believe it to be an indigenously Welsh hymn.
Let It Be Me
"Let It Be Me" is a 1960 single by the Everly Brothers. The song is an English-language cover of "Je t'appartiens", which had been released as a single in France by Gilbert Bécaud in 1955. The song was a top ten hit for the Everly Brothers on the US Billboard Hot 100 and spawned many additional cover versions.
