Fe'm gwnaeth yn ddoeth wel'd fy hun yn ddall Yn fabi'r fall wenwynig; Ac wedi rhoddi f'hun o'm bodd I gyflwr o'dd ddamnedig. Yn ddoeth i 'nabod Iesu Grist, Yn ffrynd i drist eneidiau; Ac iddo roddi waed yn llif, Tros fy aneirif feiau. Ces wel'd mai fe yw'm Brenin bra Fy Mhrophwyd a'm Offeiriad; Fy Nerth a Nrhysor mawr a Nhwr, F'Eiriolwr a fy Ngheidwad. Fy Nghyfaill byth a'm ffyddlon Frawd, Mae f'enaid tlawd yn garu; Sy'n nofio yn awr o ganol ne' Y man mae e'n teyrnasu. Dysgodd fi deithio'r llwyfr bra, Sy'n myn'd tua thrag'wyddoldeb; Tros fryniau mawr ac anial dir Ond dyna wir ddoethineb. Fel niwl a thân bob nos a dydd, Fy arwain bydd ei hunan; Trwy'r anialwch mawr dwg fi'n ei gol, Mewn i'r ddymunol Ganaan. Fe'm dysg, fe'm cyfarwydda trwy, Bob rhwystrau wi'n gyfarod; Rhag cyfeiliorni yma a thraw, 'Chai fyn'd o law fy Mhriod. Fe'm gwna mor ddoeth nes drysu'r fall, Yn ei chyfrwysgall dichell; Dadrys eu rhwydau o bob rhyw, Can's Iesu yw fy nghyfaill. Eneinia fi etto wel'd yn glir, Rho im' fôr o wir ddoethineb; I'm gywir deithio'r llwybr bra', Sy'n mynd i drag'wyddoldeb.William Williams 1717-91 Tôn [MS 8787]: Irish (<1811)
gwelir: Crist yn Sancteiddrwydd Pa ham y digalonnai mwy Crist yn Brynedigaeth O Iesu fy Ngwaredwr llawn |
(Christ the Wisdom of the Saints) He made my wise to see myself as blind As a son to the poisonous devil; And having put myself willingly Into a condition that was condemned. Wise to know Jesus Christ, As friend to sad souls; And that he gave blood as a stream, For my innumerable faults. I got to see that he is my good King My Prophet and my Priest; My Strength and my great Treasure and my Tower, My Advocate and my Saviour. My Companion forever and my faithful Brother, My poor soul is loving; Who is flying now from the middle of heaven The place where he is reigning. He taught me to travel the good path, That goes towards eternity; Over great hills and a desert land But there is true wisdom. Like fog and fire every night and day, Leading me he himself shall be; Through the great wilderness he will bring me to his bosom, Into to desired Canaan. He teaches me, he trains me through All the obstructions I meet; Lest I wander here and there, I may not leave the hand of my Spouse. He makes me so wise that the devil is confounded, In his crafty deception; Their nets of every kind shall undo, Since Jesus is my companion. Anoint me again to see clearly, Give me a sea of true wisdom; For me truly to travel the good path, That goes to eternity.tr. 2021 Richard B Gillion |
