Ai gwir y trig Jehofah mawr Ym mhebyll dynion ar y llawr, Yr Hwn ni ddichon nef y nef Ei gynnwys, na'i amgyffred Ef? Yr Hwn a ferchyg ar y gwynt, Ddisgnnai i babell Moses gynt; A gwnaeth y deml drachefn yn dŷ - Yn lle preswylfa'i enw cu. Erfyniwn, Arglwydd! ger Dy fron, O! disgyn eto i'n pabell hon; Rho'th bresenoldeb yn ein plith, Ac aros yma! - aros byth! Boed cwmwl y gogoniant cu Yn lledu ei aden dros ein tŷ, A gwlawied o'i gyflawnder mawr Fendithion dwyfol ras i lawr. Athrawiaeth bur am angeu'r groes, A draether yma o oes i oes; Ac Yspryd Duw fo'n arddel hon I blygu miloedd ger Ei fron.William Rees (Gwilym Hiraethog) 1802-83
Tonau [MH 8888]: gwelir: Erfyniwn Aglwydd ger dy fron |
Shall the great Jehovah truly dwell In the tents of men on the earth, He whom the heaven of heaven is not sufficient To contain, nor to comprehend Him? He who rides on the wind, Who descended to the tent of Moses once; Who made the temple back into a house; - As a residence for his dear name. We beseech thee, Lord, before thy breast! O descend again to this tent! Put thy presence in our midst, And stay here! - stay forever! May the cloud of thy dear glory Spread its wings over our house, And may it rain down from its great Fullness, the blessings of divine grace. The pure teaching about the death of the cross, Is to be expounded here from age to age; And may God's Spirit own this To bow thousands before him.tr. 2019 Richard B Gillion |
