Enaid fy Mhrynwr pura 'nghalon i

Anima Christi

Enaid fy Mhrynwr, pura 'nghalon i,
O gorff yr Iesu, aros gyda mi;
  O boed fy nhrochi yn y dwyfol waed,
  A golchi fi, ddŵr
      o'i ystlys ef a gaed.

O'r boen a ddug,
    boed nerth a nawdd i mi,
Fendigaid Iesu, clyw ac ateb di;
  Cysgoda fi a'm cuddio yn dy glwyf,
  Fel na'th adawaf innau byth tra bwyf.

Amddiffyn fi rhag anfad elyn dyn,
A phan fwy'n trengi, cymer fi dy hun;
  Gad imi ddyfod fry i'th uchel fraint,
  I'th ganmol yn dragywydd gyda'th saint.
cyf. T Gwynn Jones 1871-1949

Anima Christi (William J Maher 1823-77)
Navarre (Sallwyr Genefa 1551)
Rhys (W J Evans 1866-1947)

Soul of my Redeemer, purify my heart,
O body of Jesus, stay with me;
  O may I be dipped in the divine blood,
  And wash me, water
      that was got from his side.

O the pain thou didst bear,
    may it be a strength and a refuge to me,
Blessed Jesus, hear and answer thou;
  Shield me and hide me in thy wound,
  That I never leave thee while ever I am.

Defend me from the wicked enemy of man,
And when I am dying, receive me thyself;
  Let me come up to thy high privilege,
  To thy praise in eternity with thy saints.
tr. 2020 Richard B Gillion
Soul of Christ, be my sanctification;
Body of Christ, be my salvation;
  Blood of Christ, fill all my veins;
  Water of Christ's side,
      wash out my stains;

Passion of Christ,
    my comfort be;
O good Jesus, listen to me;
  In Thy wounds I fain would hide;
  Ne'er to be parted from Thy side;

Guard me, should the foe assail me;
Call me when my life shall fail me;
  Bid me come to Thee above,
  With Thy saints to sing Thy love.
tr. John Henry Newman 1801-1890
from the Latin
Anima Christi
14th Century
