A all y fraich a wnaeth bob dim Ddiffygio byth, neu fyn'd heb rym! A balla nerth y cadarn Iôr, A wnaeth y nef, y tir, a'r môr! Nerth dyn yn fuan a wanhâ, A chryfder ie'nctid blino wna; Ond nerthoedd anchwyliadwy sy' Yn mythol freichiau'n Harglwydd ni. Y saint ymadnewyddu wnant, Can's derbyn nerth o hyd a gânt, Nes cyrhaedd y dedwyddol dir Lle mae digrifwch bythol pur.cyf. Dafydd Jones 1711-77
Tonau [MH 8888]: |
And can the arm that made everything Ever fail, or lose its force? And shall the strength of the secure Lord fail, Who made the heaven, the land and the sea? The power of man shall soon weaken, And the strength of the young shall grow weary; But unsearchable powers are In the everlasting arms of our Lord. The saints shall renew themselves, Since they may always receive power, Until reaching the happy land Where there is pure, everlasting enjoyment.tr. 2013 Richard B Gillion |
Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard That firm remains on high The everlasting throne of him Who formed the earth and sky? Mere human pow'r shall fast decay, And youthful vigour cease, But they who wait upon the Lord In strength shall still increase. On eagles' wings they mount, they soar, Their wings are faith and love, Till, past the cloudy regions here, They rise to heaven above.Isaac Watts 1674-1748 & William Cameron 1751-1811 Scottish Paraphrases 1781
