Ef a wylodd! Pwy a wylodd? Wylodd Iesu mawr ei hun; Wylodd myrdd o'i flaen, ond heddyw Wyla Duw mewn natur dyn! Ef a wylodd! pa'm yr wylodd? Nid o'i achos ol' ei hun; Ond fe wylodd o dosturi, Uwch ben cyflwr euog dyn. Ef a wylodd! pan oedd tyrfa Fawr yn cyd-ddyrchafu llef, Hyd y nefoedd i'w foliannu, Gwnai pawb ond wylai ef; Ef a wylodd! pan y gwelai Salem fawr ar fyn'd yn sarn, A dialydd ar ei dryllio A churfeydd y chwerwaf farn. Ef a wylodd! rhyfedd gariad At elynion drwg eu rhyw, Yn ei ddagrau, cawn esboniad Ar deimladau calon Duw. Ef a wylodd! do, bechadur, Gwel ei ddagrau, clyw ei gri, Wylodd drosot o dosturi, Bellach ai ni wyli di?William Rees (Gwilym Hiraethog) 1802-83
Tonau [8787]: |
It is He who wept! Who wept? Great Jesus himself wept; A myriad wept before, but today God weeps in the nature of man! It is He who wept! Why did he weep? Not on his own account; But he wept from pity, Over the condition of guilty man. It is he who wept! when the great crowd Were together lifting up a cry, As far as heaven to praise him, All would do but he wept; It is he who wept! when he could see Great Jerusalem being trampled, And doubtless over its shattering And the pounding of the bitterest judgment. It is he who wept! wonderful love Towards enemies of their evil kind, In his tears, we get a demonstration Of the feelings of the heart of God. It is he who wept! yes, sinner, See his tears, hear his cry, He wept for thee from mercy, Henceforth wilt thou not weep?tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion |
Lo, He wept! Who, then, is He?Howell Elvet Lewis [Elfed] 1860-1953 Sweet Singers of Wales 1889
