Canwn ogoniant cariad Duw, A'i enw mor ofnadwy yw; Seinied eglwysi Crist mewn hoen Ganiadau Moses fwyn a'r Oen. Duw mawr, dy waith sy' ryfedd iawn O ras ac o ddialedd llawn! Ein cadarn Ior Brenin y saint, Dy ffyrdd yn gyfiawn pur y maent! Pwy baid ac ofni d'enw mawr, Neu blygu wrth dy faingc i lawr? Dy farnau sy'n hysbysu ar led Dy bur sancteiddrwydd trwy holl gred. Babilon fawr sy'n llywio'r byd, Ar waed y saint yn feddw o hyd, Ei beiau'n wir yn fuan iawn A ddeffry llid ein Duw yn llawn. Cymmysgwyd ffiol lawn ei lid, Rhaid iddi yfed hon i gyd; Cryf ydyw'r Ion ei barnu wna, A'r plaau i gyd ef a'u cwplâ.cyf. Hymnau a Chaniadau Ysprydol 1775 [Mesur: MH 8888] |
Let us sing the glory of the love of God, And his name that is so terrible; Let the churches of Christ sing in tune The songs of gentle Moses and the Lamb. Great God, thy work is very wonderful Of grace and of vengeance full! Our firm Lord the King of the saints, Thy ways purely righteous are! Who does not fear thy great name, Or bow down at thy throne? Thy judgments are published abroad Thy pure sacredness through all creation. Great Babylon that is governing the world, Always drunk on the blood of the saints, Her faults truly very soon Shall awaken the wrath of our God fully. The bowl was mixed full of his wrath, She must drink all of this; Strong is the Lord, his judgment shall, And all the plagues, be fulfilled.tr. 2019 Richard B Gillion |
We sing the glories of thy love, We sound thy dreadful name; The Christian church unites the songs Of Moses and the Lamb. Great God! how wondrous are thy works Of vengeance and of grace! Thou King of saints, Almighty Lord, How just and true thy ways! Who dares refuse to fear thy name, Or worship at thy throne? Thy judgments speak thine holiness Through all the nations known. Great Babylon that rules the earth, Drunk with the martyrs' blood, Her crimes shall speedily awake The fury of our God. The cup of wrath is ready mixed, And she must drink the dregs: Strong is the Lord, her sovereign Judge, And shall fulfil the plagues.Isaac Watts 1674-1748 Tune [CM 8686]: Bedford (William Wheale 1696-1727) |
