Blentyn fy ngwae a'm cur

Child of My grief and pain

(Hanes y Groes
Rhan IV - Yr Apêl o'r Groes)
Blentyn fy ngwae a'm cur,
  O! clyw fy llef,
Agoraf it ar led
  Ddrws y nef.

Gwelais di'n crwydro'n flin
  Mewn anial fan;
Deuthum i'th gyrchu'n ôl,
  Enaid gwan.

Trosot fy Ngwaed a red,
  Anwylaf un;
Wyf yma i'th brynu'n llwyr
  Im fy Hun.

Nac wyla am fy loes,
  Fy mhlentyn cu,
Ond tyred ar fy ôl
  I'r nef fry.
T H Hughes, Blaenau Ffestiniog, 1850-1919.

(The Story of the Cross
Part 4 - The Appeal from the Cross)
Child of my woe and my pain,
  O hear my cry!
I shall open to thee wide
  The door of heaven.

I saw thee wandering grievously
  In a desert place;
I came to send thee back,
  Weak soul.

For thee my blood doth flow,
  Dearest one;
I am here to redeem the completely
  To my myself.

Do not weep for my anguish,
  My dear child,
But come after me
  To heaven above.
tr. 2022 Richard B Gillion
(The Story of the Cross
Part 4 - The Appeal from the Cross)
Child of My grief and pain,
  Watched by My love;
I came to call thee to
  Realms above.

I saw thee wandering
  Far off from Me:
In love I seek for thee;
  Do not flee.

For thee My blood I shed,
  For thee alone;
I came to purchase thee,
  For Mine own.

Weep thou not for My grief,
  Child of My love;
Strive to be with Me in
  Heaven above.
Edward Munroe 1815-66
