An Act of Parliament passed in 1563, entitled "An Act for the Translating of the Bible and the Divine Service into the Welsh Tongue", ordered that both the Old and New Testament be translated into [[Welsh language|Welsh]], alongside the ''Book of Common Prayer''. This translation – completed by the then bishop of [[St David's]], [[Richard Davies (bishop)|Richard Davies]], and the scholar [[William Salesbury]] – was published in 1567{{sfn|Procter|Frere |1902|p=125}} as {{Lang|cy|Y Llyfr Gweddi Gyffredin}}. A further revision, based on the 1662 English revision, was published in 1664.{{sfn|Muss-Arnolt|1914|loc=Ch VII}}

The Church in Wales began a revision of the book of Common Prayer in the 1950s. Various sections of authorised material were published throughout the 1950s and 1960s; however, common usage of these revised versions only began with the introduction of a revised order for the Holy Eucharist. Revision continued throughout the 1960s and 1970s, with definitive orders being confirmed throughout the 70s for most orders. A finished, fully revised Book of Common Prayer for use in the Church in Wales was authorised in 1984, written in traditional English, after a suggestion for a modern language Eucharist received a lukewarm reception.

In the 1990s, new initiation services were authorised, followed by alternative orders for morning and evening prayer in 1994, alongside an alternative order for the Holy Eucharist, also in 1994. Revisions of various orders in the Book of Common Prayer continued throughout the 2000s and into the 2010s.
