keep my hands
in water
and my face
to the fire, perhaps
Whoa!
For Mr. Ivor Morgan
From Windsor Castle it is

"Mr. Ivor Morgan
is commanded
to appear before Her Majesty
at Windsor Castle
with chosen members of his choir
the 14th of May
between the hours
of 3:00 and 5:00"
- Yay!
- Yay!
God save the Queen!
To sing
before the queen...
My son, I never thought to see
this beautiful day
Idris, Owen, all of you...
fetch everyone from
all the valleys 'round
Davy, over to the other
collieries
Invite everyone
It's a celebration, tell them
lanto, down to the Three Bells
for beer
Open house tonight
for all who will come
[Cheering]
My sons
you shall have a sendoff
worthy of the Morgans
[Bell Rings]
Our heavenly Father,
I give thanks
from the heart
to live this day
I give thanks
for all I have,
and I do give thanks
for this new blessing,
for you are our father,
but we look to our queen
as our mother
Comfort her
in her troubles, oh God,
and let her worries
be not more
than she shall bear
at her age,
and grant that sweetness
and power and spirit
may be given
to these voices
that shall sing
at her command
Amen
- Amen
- Amen
[Bell Rings]
(music) God save
our gracious queen (music)

our noble queen (music)
(music) God save our queen (music)
(music) Send her victorious (music)
(music) Happy and glorious (music)
Gwilym! Owen!

[Knock on Door]
Good morning,
dear Mr. Gruffydd
There is good
to see you
Angharad is
at the market
Angharad? Oh,
I've come for Huw
For Huw?
The daffodils
are out, Mama
Where are
your clothes, boy?
Under my pillow
Your pillow?
For these months,
ready for today
Come then,
and you shall
bring back a posy
fit for a queen
for your brave mother
Indeed I will, sir
Almost there, Huw
Yes, sir
Low bridge there
Watch out
It's fine
All right
Ha ha!
All right?
Yes, sir
Easy it is, now
There
Cwm Rhondda
But, Mr. Gruffydd...
You can walk, Huw,
if you try
Come, lad
You can walk
Huw! Walk!
There's a good lad
Come on
See? Ha ha!
There's a good
old man
You've been lucky,
Huw
Lucky to suffer
lucky to spend these weary months
in bed
for so God
has given you a chance
to make spirit
within yourself,
and as your father cleans his lamp
to have good light,
so keep clean
your spirit, huh?
How, sir?
By prayer, Huw
And by prayer,
I don't mean shouting and mumbling
and wallowing like a hog
in religious sentiment
Prayer is only
another name
for good, clean,
direct thinking
When you pray, think
Think well
what you're saying
Make your thoughts into things
that are solid,
and that way, your prayer
will have strength,
and that strength will become
a part of you,
body, mind,
and spirit
And the first duty
of these new legs
is to get you
to chapel on Sunday
Indeed they will, sir
There's a good
old man again
Give me your hand
Come on now
[Ringing]
[Choir Singing]
Will you please remain
in your places?
There's to be a meeting
of the deacons
Ceinwen Lewis!
Step forward!
Your sins
have found you out!
And now you must
pay the price
of all women like you
You have brought a child
into the world
against the Commandment!
Prayer is wasted
on your sort!
You shall be cast out
into the outer darkness
till you have
learned your lesson!
Ceinwen Lewis
do you admit your sin?
Yes
Then prepare to suffer
your punishment!
Stop it!
Angharad!
Leave her alone,
you hypocrite!
Sit down,
Mr. Morgan
You...
Sit down!
[Sobbing]
How could you stand there
and watch them?
Cruel old men groaning and nodding
to hurt her more
That is not
the word of God
"Go thou, and sin no more,"
Jesus said!
Angharad!
You know your Bible too well,
life too little
I know enough of life
to know that Ceinwen Lewis
is no worse
than I am
Angharad!
