My wife would like a track list, as she would like one of the last hymns for a funeral of a Welsh relative. Thinks it is probably the track before last in the film.
Thanks.

There are at least four hymns sung in the film
Cwm Rondda, which is usually used with the English hymns "God of Grace and God of Glory" and "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah [or Redeemer]"
Bryn Calfaria, which is used for the English hymn "Lord, enthroned in heavenly splendor" and less commonly "From her groans and travail cease"
Penpark, to which the English words "Jesus I live to Thee" are set. This is not well-known in the U.S., but is commonly sung at Welsh funerals.
Calon Lan, to which the English words "I don't ask for a luxurious life" and "I will sing the wondrous story" have been set.
There are also several Welsh songs which are not properly called hymns, the most well-known of which is the patriotic ballad "Men of Harlech" (Rhyfelgyrch Gwyr Harlech)
