CGB1215 Love Divine
Description
HYFRYDOL (pronounced huff-ruh-doll) is quite a tune coming from a 19th-century loom tender's assistant at the Welsh Flannel Manufacturing Company. Rowland H. Prichard’s beautiful melody has been paired with a variety of texts, appearing in most hymnals at least once. This setting is inspired by Charles Wesley’s lyrics “Love divine, all loves excelling”, but don’t hesitate to adapt the title to coordinate with another hymn text. Be sure to seek out the melodic line when it gently weaves its way into the lower voices. The indication "peacefully flowing" says it all in terms of handbell technique.
