Anwylaf Iesu ym mmha beth troseddaist I haeddu'r ddedfryd erwin hon a gefaist? Beth yw dy fai? Pa euog ymddygiadau Yw'r eiddot tithau? Beth all fod achos dy ddioddefiadau? Och gwae! gorchfygir di gan fy mhechodau; Mae cyfrifoldeb, Iesu, arnaf innau Am dy holl boenau. O gariad mawr, na allai neb ei fesur, A'th arwain di ar erwin ffordd y merthyr! Bûm innau'n byw yn hoenus mewn llawenydd - Ti biau'r cystudd. Ond, Iesu, dyro d'Ysbryd i'm rheoli, Ac arwain fi o hyd ar ffyrdd daioni: Gad im gyflawni, er fy holl bechodau, Dy ddymuniadau.cyf. Ifor Leslie Evans 1897-1952
Tôn [11.11.11.5]: Herzliebster Jesu |
Dearest Jesus, in what thing didst thou transgress To deserve the this severe sentence thou didst get? What is thy fault? What guilty behaviours Belong to thee? What can be the cause of thy sufferings? O woe! thou art overcome by my sins; The responsibility, Jesus, is upon me For all thy pains. O great love, no-one could measure it, Which led thee on the harsh road of the martyr! Whereas I lived gleefully in joy - Thine was the affliction. But, Jesus, grant thy Spirit to regulate me, And lead me along the roads of goodness: Let me fulfill, despite all my sins, Thy wishes.tr. 2023 Richard B Gillion |
Ah, holy Jesus, how hast Thou offended, That man to judge Thee hath in hate pretended? By foes derided, by Thine own rejected, O most afflicted. Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon Thee? Alas, my treason, Jesus, hath undone Thee. ’Twas I, Lord, Jesus, I it was denied Thee! I crucified Thee. Lo, the Good Shepherd for the sheep is offered; The slave hath sinned, and the Son hath suffered; For man’s atonement, while he nothing heedeth, God intercedeth. For me, kind Jesus, was Thy incarnation, Thy mortal sorrow, and Thy life’s oblation; Thy death of anguish and Thy bitter passion, For my salvation. Therefore, kind Jesus, since I cannot pay Thee, I do adore Thee, and will ever pray Thee, Think on Thy pity and Thy love unswerving, Not my deserving.tr. Robert Seymour Bridges 1844-1930
From the German Johann Heermann 1585-1647
