The Story of a Welsh Hymn

IN the REVIEW of December 8, we printed a hymn, “I Will Sing the Wondrous Story,” with music, remarking that the composer was not known to us. Elder W. H. Meredith, of England, writes us: “It is a good old Welsh hymn, called ‘Hyfrydol’ (pronounced huv-rud-ol), and the music was written by Mr. R. H. Prichard, of Bala, North Wales. A few minor changes have been made in your copy, but the harmony is the same, though not improved, to my mind.” Those who have preserved the music will thank our Welsh brother for this information regarding this beautiful song.
