'Guide me, O thou great Jehovah' to Cwm Rhondda is marvellous; there is also an Appalachian tune, one of those fantastic older-than-shape-note things that I love. How can you decide on a favourite? There are so many great ones . . . .   The Galician (Ukrainian Galicia, not the Iberian one) Nativity hymn Dyvnaia novyna is a favorite for that season. Wachet auf for Advent. Or from the Iberian peninsula, Veinte cinco de diciembre. If thou but suffer God to guide thee. 'Hail the day so long expected.' The list goes on and on. . . .
