Cofia, Arglwydd, dy genhadon, Mewn unigrwydd, mewn peryglon; Llwydda'u gwaith i ddwyn y ddaear O dan faner Iesu hawddgar. Nertha hwy mewn dydd o wendid, A diddana hwy'n eu gofid; Iddynt rho, pan fo dywyllaf, Sicrwydd Crist am ei gynhaeaf. Os daw'r alwad i roi i fyny, A'r ysgubau heb eu casglu, Doed dy air yn falm i'w calon - "Y medelwyr yw'r angylion." Yn yr Eglwys gartref, cynnal Ffydd mewn grym, a gweddi ddyfal; Fel y caffo 'nghyd dy deulu Lawenychu'n nydd yr Iesu.Howell Elvet Lewis (Elfed) 1860-1953 Tôn [8888]: Antwerp (Johann Crüger 1598-1662) |
Remember, Lord, thy missionaries, In loneliness, in dangers; Prosper their work to bring the earth Under the beautiful banner of Jesus. Strengthen them in the day of weakness, And comfort them in their grief; To them give, when there be darkness, The assurance of Christ for his harvest. If the call comes to give up, And the sheaves have not been gathered, Let thy word come as a balm to their heart - "The reapers are the angels." In the home Church, uphold Faith in force, and persistent prayer; That thy family may together get To rejoice in the day of Jesus.tr. 2024 Richard B Gillion |
