Ffydd ddewr ein tadau! hynod yw, Er carchar, tan a chlêdd, mae'n fyw, Mor uchel gura'n calon lon Gan rymus swyn y geiriau gwiw: Ffydd ddewr ein tadau — sanctaidd ffydd! Parhawn yn ffyddlon i ti byth. Ein tadau, caeth mewn carchar du, Addolent Dduw yn ddewr a rhydd; Mor felus ffawd eu plant, pe rho'ent, Fel hwy, eu bywyd dros eu ffydd: Ffydd ddewr ein tadau - sanctaidd ffydd! Parhawn yn ffyddlon i ti byth. Ffydd ddewr ein tadau! caru wnawn Ein car a'n gelyn yn mhob cur; Ein cariad gaiff dy ganmol di Mewn geiriau mwyn a bywyd pur: Ffydd ddewr ein tadau - sanctaidd ffydd! Parhawn yn ffyddlon i ti byth.cyf. Parch. John C Jones, Chicago. Cân a Mawl / Song and Praise 1918 Tôn [8888.88]: St Catherine (Henry F Hemy 1818-88) |
Brave faith of our fathers! remarkable it is, Despite prison, fire and sword, it is living, So loudly beats our cheerful heart With the strong charm of the worthy words: Brave faith of our Fathers - sacred faith! Let us continue faithful to thee forever. Our fathers, captive in a black prison, They would worship God bravely and readily; How sweet the fate of their children, if they would give, Like them, their life for their faith: Brave faith of our Fathers - sacred faith! Let us continue faithful to thee forever. Brave faith of our fathers! let us love Our loved ones and our enemies in every affliction; Our love shall get thy acclaim In gentle words and a pure life: Brave faith of our Fathers - sacred faith! Let us continue faithful to thee forever.tr. 2020 Richard B Gillion |
Faith of our fathers! living still In spite of dungeon, fire and sword, O how our hearts beat high with joy Whene'er we hear that glorious word: Faith of our fathers, holy faith! We will be true to thee till death. Our fathers, chained in prisons dark, Were still in heart and conscience free; And blest would be their children's fate If they, like them, should die for thee: Faith of our fathers, holy faith! We will be true to thee till death. Faith of our fathers! we will love Both friend and foe in all our strife, And preach thee, too, as love knows how, By kindly words and virtuous life: Faith of our fathers, holy faith! We will be true to thee till death.Frederick William Faber 1814-63 Tune [8888.88]: St Catherine (Henry F Hemy 1818-88) |
