But perhaps the song that captures what most of these felt was a song
sung by Sam Jenkins a tin plate worker
from Llanelli – a song translated at the time from English to Welsh
– Can y Rebel “Am Achub hen rebel fel fi” - "For
saving an old Rebel like me".
The Revival storm that hit the hills and valleys of Wales in the dying
months of 1904 soon became a hurricane that affected the world. Visitors
from France, Turkey, the U.S, to name but a few came to visit and as they
caught the flame they passed it on to new countries. Welsh communities
throughout the world felt the effects and news of God’s powerful
work soon had many other churches praying that God would visit then as
well – the Khasia Hills in India being a perfect example of prayer
answered.

The public excitement of the Revival had died down by 1906 – Evan
Roberts went to Leicester to recuperate – the newspapers went
back to politics and other things but for many, the honeymoon of these
2 years developed into a lasting and loving relationship with a risen
Christ that continued a lifetime.
In asking one elderly Revival convert some years ago as to whether the
Revival stopped in 1906, she answered – its still burning within
my heart – it’s never been extinguished – it had burned
for over 70 years. |
