I really enjoyed that, sounded a bit Anglican English to me. Don't know why. I was going to write Presbyterian English then it struck me Presbyterian English? That would be more French and Calvin would it not? Aha, Welch! "Story Behind The Hymn, “Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah” If Isaac Watts is known as the father of English hymnody, William Williams (1717-1791) is considered by many to be the father of Welsh hymnody. In 1738 Williams heard a sermon by the revivalist preacher Howell Harris, a fiery Welsh layman who had been influenced by the Methodist movement in England. It was through this sermon that Williams discerned his calling to go into the ministry. Williams first pursued becoming an Anglican priest (in the Church of Wales) and entered as a deacon in 1740. However, he soon came to discover that his heart was with Harris and his itinerant work, and before long he left his small curacy in the mountains to join with the traveling Methodist preachers." ....
