There are 16 tracks on this CD and a number of songs have extra verses in other languages; one such track being "Here Is Love" an old hymn written back in the 1800s. This is, in my view, the best song on the whole compilation; maybe because it's sung so beautifully in the Welsh Language, accompanied by a Welsh harp in the background. For someone like myself who comes from Wales, and ashamed that I speak better 'Finnish' than Welsh, this is a special blessing to me and I am thankful that some verses are in English, although the Welsh version is the best, and I can understand why some believe that it will be one of the languages of Heaven, along side many others. If you're looking for a fair selection of songs from the likes of Darlene Zschech, Bryn Haworth, Matt Redman as well as some ancient Hymn writers, this album and indeed the whole Hallelujah series certainly not to be missed.
