Harry Bell and Albert Leckie who led the Trimsaran Readings together for many years.
The “Trimsaran Bible Readings”, in south west Wales, UK, took place each August for several decades in the second half of the 20th century and featured famed Welsh singing. Here’s a recording of the following 11 hymns from the 1975 meetings:
Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour Thou
O Lord our souls adoring view
On Christ salvation rests secure
O Christ Thou Son of God
Lord of glory we adore Thee
What raised the wondrous thought (Albert Leckie, who led the readings in 1975, can be clearly heard in this hymn)
All the path the saints are treading
Sweet to look back and see my name
Fairer than all the earth-born race
Midst the darkness storm and sorrow
The sands of time are sinking
(Photo above: beach in the Gower Peninsular, South Wales)

Full hymn lyrics:
Oh, it was kind of Him!
Blest be His Name!
Unto death binding Him,
Love drawn He came
Bearing our form below,
Draining our cup of woe,
Deeper than we could know;
Blest be His Name!
Sorrows gat hold of Him,
Suff’rings untold,
Darkness enfolded Him;
Over Him rolled
Billows of judgment dread,
Loosed on His sinless head
Thorn-crownèd in our stead;
Blest be His Name!
Earth wore a sullen frown,
Heaven hid its light,
When God’s own Son went down
Into the night,
Under the chilling wave,
Into the silent grave,
Sin-stricken souls to save;
Blest be His Name!
Gone is the captive’s chain
Blest be His Name!
Rent is the veil in twain,
Blest be His Name!
Deigning for us to die,
To God He brought us nigh
Over a Jordan dry;
Blest be His Name!

Have You Heard This HEART-WARMING Hymn? (Sung to the tune of "Nearer My God to Thee")
Have You Heard This HEART-WARMING Hymn? (Sung to the tune of "Nearer My God to Thee")
Chief of sinners though I be,
Jesus shed his blood for me,
Died that I might live on high,
Lives that I might never die.
As the branch is to the vine,
I am his and He is mine!
Oh, the height of Jesus' love,
Higher than the heav'ns above,
Deeper than the depths of sea,
Lasting as eternity,
Love that found me - wondrous thought -
Found me when I sought him not.
Only Jesus can impart
Comfort to a wounded heart,
Peace that flows from sin forgiv'n,
Joy that lifts the soul to heav'n,
Faith and hope to walk with God
In the way that Enoch trod.
Chief of sinners though I be,
Christ is all in all to me;
All my wants to him are known,
All my sorrows are his own.
Safe with him in earthly strife,
I await the heav'nly life.
Strengthen me, O gracious Lord,
By your Spirit and your Word.
When my wayward heart would stray,
Keep me in the narrow way;
Grace in time of need supply
While I live and when I die.
