Fe'm ganwyd i lawenydd uwch Nag sy'n mhleserau'r llawr; I gariad dwyfol, gwleddoedd pur Angylion nefoedd fawr. Mae nymuniadau'n hedeg fry Uwch creadigol fyd; 'Dwy'n gweled dim o'r ddaear hon Yn werth i gael fy mryd. Paham na bae im' ddechreu 'nawr Fy nefoedd yn y byd, A threulio mywyd mewn mwynhad O'th gariad pur o hyd!William Williams 1717-91
Tonau [MC 8686]: gwelir: 'Rwy'n chwennych gweld Ei degwch Ef |
I was born for higher joy Than are my pleasures of the earth; For divine love, the pure feasts Of the angels of great heavens. My desires fly above Higher than the created world; I can see nothing from this earth Worthy of having my attention. Why should there be no start for me now Of my heavens in the world, And spend my life in enjoyment Of thy pure love continually!tr. 2010 Richard B Gillion |
