Clodforwn ein Cynhaliwr fyth Am ei fendithion helaeth; Profasom hyd y fynyd hon, Ei ofal tirion odiaeth. Bob haf a gauaf, 'r ŷm yn cael Ei anwyl hael ddaioni; A cha'dd y flwyddyn frau o'i bron A'i roddion ei choroni. Bu llynedd farw lawer un, A ninau sy'n heneiddio; Cawn bawb ein harwain cyn b'o hir Drwy angeu, i dir angho'. Nis gwyddom beth y sydd o'n blaen, Pa ddwr, neu dân, neu dristwch; Ein cysur yw fod Crist o'n rhan, I'n tywys trwy'r anialwch. Os arbed y Gwinllanydd hael Ni, brenau gwael, anfuddiol, O dygwn 'leni gyflawn lwyth O beraidd ffrwyth rhagorol. - - - - - Clodforwn fyth ein Harglwydd Ion, Am ei fendithion odiaeth; Profasom hyd y fynyd hon, Ei ofal tirion helaeth.

Tôn [MS 8787]: Winchester New |
Let us praise our Sustainer forever For his abundant blessings; We have experienced until this minute, His extremely tender care. Every summer and winter, we are getting His beloved, generous goodness; And the fragile year got completely Crowned with his gifts. Last year many a one died, And we are getting older; We will all get led before long Through death, to the land of oblivion. We do not know what is before us, What water, or fire, or sadness; Our comfort is that Christ is on our side, Leading us through the desert. If the generous Vine saves Us, poor, unprofitable trees, O let us bear this year a full load Of sweet fruit exceptional. - - - - - Let us praise forever our Lord God, For his abundant exceptional; We have experienced until this minute, His abundantly tender care. Every summer and winter, we are getting His beloved, generous goodness; And this year got completely Crowned with his gifts. We do not know yet what is will come, While travelling in darkness; Our comfort is that Christ is on our side, To lead us through the desert. Bless us, O God, now With enormous heavenly success; And plant us as beautiful shoots Shortly in the garden of glory.tr. 2015 Richard B Gillion |
