Duw, dy air a erys I'n diogel dywys; Credu ei wirionedd Ddwg i ni orfoledd. Pan fo'r gelyn crulon Yn tristáu ein calon, Gwir diddanwch hyfryd Ydyw geiriau'r bywyd. Pan fo'r storm yn rhuo, A'r cymylau'n duo, Ymlid hwn ein hofnau, Llewyrch yw i'n llwybrau. Pwy a ddichon fesur Grym a gwerth y cysur Rydd dy air sancteiddlan I'r credadun truan? Gair i roi beunyddiol Nerth i fyw yn dduwiol; Gair i ymlid ofnau Wrth wynebu angau. Duw, yn dy drugaredd, Dysg i ni ei sylwedd; Cadw ni yn wastad Yn dy ofn a'th gariad.cyf. Thomas Davies, Tre-Lech, 1859-.
Tonau [6666]: |
God, thy word shall abide Safely to lead us; Believing its truth Bring to us jubilation. When the cruel enemy be Saddening our heart, True, delightful comfort Are the words of life. When the storm be roaring, and the clouds blackening, This shall chase away our fears, Radiance it is to our paths. Who is able to measure The force and worth of the comfort Thy holy, clean word shall give To the wretched creature? A word to give daily Strength to live godly; A word to chase away fears When facing death. God, in thy mercy, Teach us its meaning; Keep us constantly In thy fear and thy love.tr. 2019 Richard B Gillion |
Lord, Thy Word abideth, And our footsteps guideth; Who its truth believeth Light and joy receiveth. When our foes are near us, Then Thy Word doth cheer us, Word of consolation, Message of salvation. When the storms are o'er us, And dark clouds before us, Then its light directeth, And our way protecteth. Who can tell the pleasure, Who recount the treasure, By Thy Word imparted To the simple hearted? Word of mercy, giving Succour to the living; Word of life, supplying Comfort to the dying! O that we, discerning, Its most holy learning, Lord, may love and fear Thee, Evermore be near Thee!Henry W Baker 1821-77 Tune [6666]: Ravenshaw (Ave Hierarchia 1531) |
