Ai dros fy holl bechodau mawr Bu farw Crist, fy Ior? O ryfedd serch at lwch y llawr, A chariad fel y môr! Iawn gall'sai'r haul gan d'w'llwch dû G'wilyddio yn y nen, Pan oedd ein Ceidwad, Iesu cu, Dan boenau ar y pren. Wrth wel'd yr archoll dan ei fron, A'i gur ar Galfari, Fy nghalon, mawl tywallted hon, A'm llygaid ddagrau'n lli'. Beth dalaf am dy ddoniau gwiw, A'th gariad pur dilyth? Fy hunan iti rho'f, O Dduw, Dy eiddo fyddaf byth.cyf. Cas. o Hymnau ... Wesleyaidd 1844
Tonau [MC 8686]: gwelir: Och fi a waedodd fy Arglwydd cu? |
Was it for all my great sins That Christ, my Lord, died? O wonderful affection towards the dust of the ground, And love like the sea! Well could the sun by black darkness Be put to shame in the sky, When our Saviour, dear Jesus, was Under pains on the tree. On seeing the wound under his breast, And his anguish on Calvary, My heart, may this pour out praise, And my eyes tears as a flood. What shall I pay for thy worthy gifts, And thy pure, unfailing love? My self to thee I give, O God, Thine own I shall be forever.tr. 2021 Richard B Gillion |
Was it for crimes that I had done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! grace unknown! And love beyond degree! Well might the sun in darkness hide And shut his glories in, When Christ, the mighty Maker died, For man the creature's sin. Thus might I hide my blushing face While His dear cross appears, Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt my eyes to tears. But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe: Here, Lord, I give my self away Tis all that I can do.Isaac Watts 1674-1748 from Alas and did my Saviour bleed? |
