Dymunwn fod wrth borth y nef, Yn gwrando cref gerddoriaeth Holl waredigol deulu gras, Yn Salem, ddinas helaeth. Nid oes yn llys y nefol Oen, Na gwae, na phoen, na gofid; Ond pawb yn taro yr un tant, Yn y gogoniant hyfryd. Mae yno apostolaidd dorf Yn Nghrist yn gorfoleddu; Merthyron uchel iawn eu cān, A gadd trwy'r tān eu tynu. Hiraethu'r wyf ar lawer tro, Wrth deithio'r fro ddaearol, Am uno gyda'r saint i gyd, Ar fyr mewn gwynfyd nefol. Gwyn fyd na bawn yn seinio mawl Yn fy nhragwyddol drigfa; Yn un o'r rhai sy'n moli'r Oen, Mewn pur ddi boen orphwysfa.Llyfr Tonau ac Emynau (Stephen & Jones) 1868 Tôn [MS 8787]: St Alban's (Coral Ellmynig) |
I would wish to be at the gate of heaven, Listening to the strong music Of the whole delivered family of grace, In Salem, a broad city. There is not in the court of the heavenly Lamb, Either woe, or pain, or grief; But everyone striking the same string, In the delightful glory. There is there an apostolic throng In Christ rejoicing; Martyrs with their very loud song, Who got pulled through the fire. Longing I am on many occasions, While travelling the earthly vale, About joining with all the saints, Shortly in heavely bliss. How blessed were I sounding praise In my eternal dwelling; As one of those who are praising the Lamb, In pure, painless rest.tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion |
