Draw, draw ymhell mae gwyrddlas fryn Tu faes i fur y dref Lle'r hoeliwyd Iesu annwyl gynt O'i fodd i'n dwyn i'r nef. Ni wyddom ni, ni allwn ddweud Faint oedd ei ddwyfol loes, Ond credu wnawn mai drosom ni Yr aeth efe i'r groes. Bu farw er mwyn maddau bai A'n gwneud bob un yn dda, I ni o'r diwedd gael y nef Drwy'r gwaed a'n llwyr lanha. Nid oedd ond un yn ddigon da I dalu pridwerth dyn; Ni allai neb ddatgloi y drws I'r nef ond ef ei hun. Fe'n carodd, do, yn annwyl iawn, O carwn ninnau ef Gan gredu yn rhinweddau'r gwaed A gweithio gwaith y nef.cyf. Howell Elvet Lewis (Elfed) 1860-1953 Cerddor y Cymry, Mai 1887.
Tonau [MC 8686]: |
Yonder, yonder afar is a verdant hill Outside the wall of the city Where beloved Jesus was once crucified Willingly to bring us to heaven. We do not know, we cannot tell How great was his divine anguish, But we do believe that for us He went to the cross. He died in order to forgive sin And make everyone good, For us at last to obtain heaven Through the blood and our complete cleansing. There is none but one sufficiently good To pay the ransom of man; No-one could unlock the door To heaven but he himself. He loved, yes, very dearly, O let us too love him By believing in the merits of the blood And doing the work of heaven.tr. 2024 Richard B Gillion |
There is a green hill far away, Without a city wall, Where the dear Lord was crucified Who died to save us all. We may not know, we cannot tell, What pains he had to bear, But we believe it was for us He hung and suffered there. He died that we might be forgiven, He died to make us good; That we might go at last to heaven, Saved by his precious Blood. There was no other good enough To pay the price of sin; He only could unlock the gate Of heaven, and let us in. O dearly, dearly has he loved, And we must love him too, And trust in his redeeming Blood, And try his works to do.Cecil Frances Humphreys Alexander 1818-95 Hymns for Little Children 1848 Tune [CM 8686]: Horsley (William Horsley 1774-1858) |
