    I know this comes from the Welsh hymnal Canuen FFYDD,and I have a copy but it's over 1,000 pages thick.
    While it comes from a Welsh hymnal that doesn't preclude its appearance in other non Welsh hymnals.

    The recording is on Facebook posted by a Welsh church in 2018

    The tune is known as TALYLLYN and is found in The Book of Common Praise no. 244a "We hail Thee now, O Jesu".

    Thanks a lot CHGiffen!
    According to hymnary org it's only published in 2 hymnals, one of which I have. I will look it up in mine, I want to try it out to-day!
    I'm sure I played it at least once since when I bought that book I started on page one and played every page to the back, but with 1,000 pages it's hard to find any one particular one I liked unless I wrote it down, and I know I did but now I can't find the paper I wrote it on :(

    In the Caneuon Ffydd book it shows it's title as;

    "Tal-y-llyn"

    Title: TALYLLYN
    Meter: 7.6.7.6 D
    Incipit: 51765 17652 31271
    Key: A♭ Major

    I did a recording, and put it on youtube

    Youtube has been blocking browsers that have adblock and forcing either repetitive ads or paying $14/mo and as a result I set most of my almost 1,000 videos to private since I don't make a dime on youtube but they are on my videos, but suddenly the last couple of days the blocking vanished, so maybe they discovered a massive "hit" on revenue and traffic was the result of blocking and they reversed it.
