Fy enaid prudd mewn hiraeth sydd Am fod yn berffaith lân; A phan y delo'r hyfryd ddydd, Pereiddiach fydd fy nghân. Cartrefle'r saint! - man dedwydd yw, Heb bechod, ac heb boen; Pa bryd y câf fyn'd yno i fyw I ganmol Duw a'r Oen? Nid yw 'ngorphwysfa yn y byd - Mae gwlad sydd ganmil gwell! A hiraeth sydd yn llanw 'mryd Am wel'd fy nghartref pell. Bod gyda Christ, hyn yw fy llef - A derfydd poen a gwae; Câf fod yn debyg iddo Ef A'i weled fel y mae!Peter Jones (Pedr Fardd) 1775-1845
Tonau [MC 8686]: |
My sad soul is in longing To be perfectly holy; And when the delightful day comes, Sweeter will be my song. The home of the saints! - a happy place it is, Without sin, and without pain; When shall I get to go the to live To extol God and the Lamb? There is no resting place in the word - There is a land which is a hundred thousand times better! And longing is filling my mind To see my distant home. To be with Christ, this is my cry - And for pain and woe to pass away; To get to be like Him And to see him a he is!tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion |
