Stay with me, O strong Remainer

(Cwm Rhondda - The great Welsh hymn tune written by John Hughes (1873–1932) with words by William Williams has attracted my attention. I hope that both John and William will accept my apologies for taking this wonderful masterpiece and using it in what I think is our hour of need.)

​

Stay with me, O strong Remainer,
Pilgrim through this barren land;
Be not sheep, nor follow blindly;
Keep me in thy thoughtful hand;
Remain Forever,
Leave me not for foolish lie.

​

Climb now up, this Brexit mountain,
Whence the rotten lies doth flow;
Let your fiery heart and vision
Lead you all your journey through;
Strong Remainer,
Be this still your Strength and Shield.

​

When you tread this verge of madness,
Bid your anxious fears subside;
Strike out through the swelling current,
Land you safe on reason’s side;
Hollow Phrases,
From this madness set us free.
