Delight That Never Dies

The third collection of hymns by Alan Gaunt, bringing together 97 new texts written between November 1996 and February 2003. In addition, there are 22 translations from the Danish of N F S Grundtvig (1783-1872), and nine other translations, including six from the Welsh of William Williams (Pantycelyn). The Forward, by Professor Richard Watson of Durham University, places Gaunt's recent oeuvre in the context of his wide reading of other poets and Christian thinkers, and of the major themes and challenges of contemporary hymnody.
