Dwy fflam ar ben Calfaria Gwrddasant yno 'nghyd - Fflam cariad at bechadur, Fflam goch y dwyfol lid; A'u mwg yn dringo i fyny Nes cuddio ser y nen, A'r Iesu rhwyng y ddwy-fflam Yn marw ar y pren. Mwy'r clod, a mwy yr enw, A gaiff y nefoedd mwy, Am gadw pryfyn marwol Trwy rinwedd marwol glwy', Na thrwy gyfiawnder perffaith O'i eiddo ef ei hun, Trwy gadw'r holl orch'mynion, Erioed heb dori'r un. Mwy rhyfedd y cyfiawnder, Helaethach ydyw'r dawn Sydd yn ufudd-dod Iesu Ar Galfari brydnawn; Ca'dd deddf ei hanrhydeddu, Rhoed coron ar ei phen, Pan redodd gwaed y Meichiau Yn ffrydiau ar y pren.Christmas Evans 1766-1838

Two flames on the summit of Calvary Met there together - The flame of love towards a sinner, The red flame of divine anger; With their smoke climbing up Until hiding the stars of the sky, With Jesus between the two flames Dying on the tree. Greater the praise, and greater the name, Which heaven got evermore, For saving a mortal worm Through the merit of a mortal wound, Not through the perfect righteousness Of his own possession, Through keeping all the commandments, Without ever breaking any. The greater wonder of the righteousness, More generous is the gift Which is in the obedience of Jesus On Calvary one afternoon; Law was honoured, Let a crown be put on his head, When the blood of our Surety ran In streams on the tree.tr. 2017 Richard B Gillion |
