Ein gwaith a'n tybiau'n ofer fydd, Os oer a marw yw ein ffydd; Nid oes ond bywiol ffydd o'r nen A'n dwg at Grist ein bywiol Ben. Ffydd bura'r galon o bob pla, A ffydd drwy gariad gweithio wna, Ffydd ymlid ffwrdd bob cysur gau, A chodi'r serch i'r nef y mae. Ffydd sy'n gorchfygu drygau'r byd, Ffydd goncra uffern er ei llid, Ffydd lwydda yn yr olaf awr, A'i gwobr fry, trwy ras, fydd mawr.cyf.

Our work and our hopes shall be in vain, If cold and dead is our faith; There is only a lively faith from heaven That shall bring us to Christ our lively Head. Faith purifies the heart of every plague, And faith through love shall work, Faith chases away every false comfort, And raising the affection to heaven it is. 'Tis faith that overcomes the evils of the world, Faith shall conquer hell despite its wrath, Faith shall succeed in the last hour, And its prize above, through grace, shall be great.tr. 2019 Richard B Gillion |
Vain are our fancies, airy flights, If faith be cold and dead; None but a living power unites To Christ, the living Head: A faith that changes all the heart; A faith that works by love; That bids all sinful joys depart, And lifts the thoughts above. 'Tis faith that conquers earth and hell, By an almighty power: This is the grace that shall prevail In the decisive hour.Isaac Watts 1674-1748 from: Deluded souls that dream of heav'n |
