Clyw, f'enaid, clyw ganiadau yr angylion Yn llenwi'r ddaear las a glannau'r don; A neges hyfryd gluda nodau mwynion, Am fywyd gwell, heb bechod dan y fron. Engyl yr Iesu, engyl y wawr, Canant eu croeso i blant y cystudd mawr. Awn rhagom, awn, yn sŵn y nodau persain: "Dewch, lesg eneidiau, geilw Iesu chwi;" A thrw'r tywyllwch dudew clywir atsain, Hyfrydlef yr efengyl ydyw hi. Draw, draw ymhell, fel clychau hwyrnos dawel, Daw llais yr Iesu dros y môr a thir, Eneidiau dan eu baich yn lluoedd ddychwel At y Pen-bugail wedi crwydro'n hir. Cawn orffwys, cawn, ar ôl blinderau'r yrfa, Fe gilia'r nos, a thyr y bore wawr, Mwynha'r pererin, bellach, hedd yng ngwynfa, Paradwys yw ei gartref ef yn awr.cyf. David Lewis (Ap Ceredigion) 1870-1948
Tôn [11.10.11.10.9.11]: |
Hear, my soul, hear the songs of the angels Filling the blue-green earth and the shores of the wave; And gentle notes convey a delightful message About a better life, without sin under the breast. The angels of Jesus, the angels of the dawn, They sing their welcome to the children of the great tribulation. Let us go onward, onward, in the sound of the sweetly-sounding notes: "Come, feeble souls, Jesus calls you;" And through the thick, black darkness an echo is heard, The delightful cry of the gospel it is. Yonder, far yonder, like the bells of a quiet, late night, Comes the voice of Jesus over the see and land, Souls under their burden in hosts return To the Chief-shepherd having wandered long. We may get rest, we may, after the griefs of the course, The night retreats, and the morning dawn breaks, The pilgrims, henceforth, shall enjoy peace in the blessedness, Paradise is his home now.tr. 2019 Richard B Gillion |
Hark! hark, my soul! angelic songs are swelling, O'er earth's green fields and ocean's wave-beat shore: How sweet the truth those blessèd strains are telling Of that new life when sin shall be no more. Angels of Jesus, angels of light, Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night! Onward we go, for still we hear them singing, Come, weary souls, for Jesus bids you come; And through the dark, its echoes sweetly ringing, The music of the Gospel leads us home. Far, far away, like bells at evening pealing, The voice of Jesus sounds o'er land and sea; And laden souls, by thousands meekly stealing, Kind Shepherd, turn their weary steps to Thee. Rest comes at length: though life be long and dreary, The day must dawn, and darksome night be past; Faith's journeys end in welcome to the weary, And Heaven, the heart's true home, will come at last.1854 Frederick W Faber 1814-63 vv. 1,4,3,5.
