Ai am ein beiau ni Yr wylodd Iesu mawr? O! rheded heilltion ddagrau'n lli O'n llygaid ninnau'n awr! Mab Duw yn wylo sydd - Rhyfeddai engyl nef; O! gwêl a theimlo, f'enaid prudd, Mai drosot wylodd Ef! Trwy ddagrau'n Ceidwad cu Fe sychir dagra'r saint; Cânt adael glyn wylofain du, A meddu'r freiniol fraint.cyf. Daniel Jones 1788-1862 Tôn [MB 6686]: Aylesbury (Salmydd Chetham 1718) |
Was is for our sins That great Jesus wept? Oh, let salt tears run as a flood From our own eyes now! It is the Son of God who weeps - The angels of heaven were amazed; Oh, see and feel, my sad soul, That it is for thee He weeps. Through the tears of our dear Saviour The tears of the saints are to be dried; They may leave the black, weeping vale, And possess the royal privilege.tr. 2011 Richard B Gillion |
Did Christ o'er sinners weep, And shall our cheeks be dry? Let floods of penitential grief Burst forth from every eye. The Son of God in tears The wondering angels see: Be thou astonished, O my soul; He shed those tears for thee. He wept that we might weep; Each sin demands a tear; In heaven alone no sin is found, And there's no weeping there.Benjamin Beddome 1717-95
