Sorry Geoff the Duck, the tune is not Welsh. It was composed by Thomas Clark, a shoemaker from Canterbury, who was a prolific writer of hymn tunes in the West Gallery period. Although it has often been used as a tune for While Shepherds, it was earlier associated with a hymn called "Grace tis a charming sound". |
