I'r Aipht daeth Iesu'm gwared o dir caethiwed du, Yspeiliodd yr holl Aiphtiaid rh'odd dlysau têg i mi, Des â llaw uchel allan, dihengais rhag y pla, Yn y cyfyngder mwyaf mi brofais Dduw yn dda. Pan oedd hen Pharao greulon ar fy ol yn gyrru'n hy, A minnau mewn cyfyngder, heb obaith o un tu; Fe chwariodd rhaluniaethau yr hollalluog Dduw, Fe drefnodd fforddi'm cadw er gwaetha' Pharao'n fyw. Ce's ddw'r o'r graig i yfed, i dorri'm syched mawr, Ce's beunydd fara i'w fwytta, o'r nef y daeth i lawr; Ce's delyn tu yma i angau, fy holl gystuddiau ffodd, I ganu i'r Oen fu farw, mae'n briod wrth fy modd. Gostegodd d'ranau Sinai, ni chlywaf mwy 'mo'u 'stwr, Cyfiawnder ga's ei dalu gan Iesu, canol Wr; Gwir heddwch wy'n feddiannu ynghlwyfau'r Oen heb fraw, Daeth Iesu o'r bedd i fynu a'm pardwn yn ei law. Trwy waid a chlwyfau Mrenin ce's berffaith wir iachad, Fe gludodd Amaleciaid fyrddiynau tan fy nhra'd; Hen Og a chewri Basan gwympasant oll gan fraw, Holl frenhiniaethau Canaan r'odd Iesu dan fy llaw. 'Nol treuliwyf yn y bywyd flynyddau rif y gwlith, Ymhlith y dorf na fedr un tafod rifo byth; Yn gwel'd yr Oen fu farw i'm cadw cyn fy mod, Bydd cân mor felus i mi a'r funud gynta' erio'd.Morgan Rhys 1716-79 Golwg o Ben Nebo 1764 [Mesur: 13.13.13.13 / 7676D] gwelir: Agorodd ddrws i'r caethion Cês dŵr o'r graig i yfed 'Nôl treuliwyf yn y bywyd |
To Egypt came Jesus to deliver me from a land of black captivity, He despoiled all the Egyptians he gave fine ornaments to me, I came out with a high hand, I escaped from the plague, In the greatest straits I proved God good. When cruel old Pharaoh was after me driving proudly, And I in straits, without hope on any side; The providence of the almighty God came into play, He arranged a way to preserve me despite the worst of Pharaoh alive. I got water from the rock to drink, to break my great thirst, Daily I got bread to eat, from heaven it came down; I got a harp this side of death, all my afflictions fled, To sing to the Lamb who died, he is a spouse to my delight. He calmed the thunders of Sinai, I no longer hear any of their tumult, Righteousness got paid by Jesus, the mediating man; True peace I am possessing in the wounds of the Lamb without fear, Jesus came up from the grave with my pardon in his hand. Through the blood and wounds of my King I got perfect, true, health, He brought myriads of Amalekites under my feet; Old Og and giants of Bashan all fell with terror, All the kingdoms of Canaan Jesus put under my hand. After spending in the life years as numerous as the dew, Amongst the throng that no tongue can ever number; Seeing the Lamb who died to preserve me before I was, There will be a song so sweet to me from the first ever minute.tr. 2015 Richard B Gillion |
