Fy ffydd sydd ynot Ti

My faith looks up to Thee

1,(2),3.
(Ffydd yn Nghrist)
Fy ffydd sydd ynot Ti,
Yr Oen fu ar Galfari, -
  Iachawdwr byw!
Clyw'm cri wrth orsedd gras,
Dilea'm llygredd cas,
Gwna fi hyn i maes
  Yn blentyn Duw.

Hyd lwybrau troellog fyd,
Drwy'r temtasiynau i gyd,
  O! arwain fi;
O! tro fy nos yn ddydd,
Sych ddagrau'm gwelw rudd
N'ad imi grwydro'n gudd
  Oddiwrthyt Ti.

Daw breuddwyd oes i ben,
Daw niwloedd angeu'n llen
  'Gylch f'ysbryd prudd;
Ond yn yr olaf awr,
Boed gwęn fy Iesu mawr,
Yn agor dorau gwawr
  Tragwyddol ddydd!
cyf. Hugh Cernyw Williams (Cernyw) 1843-1937

(Faith in Christ)
My faith is in Thee,
The Lamb who was on Calvary, -
  Living Saviour!
Hear my cry at the throne of grace,
Destroy my detestable corruption,
Make me from now on
  A child of God.

Along the twisting paths of the world,
Through all the temptations,
  Oh, lead me!
Oh, turn my night into day,
Dry the tears of my pale cheek
Do not let me wander secretly
  Away from Thee.

The dream of an age will pass away,
The fogs of death will come as a curtain
  Around my sad soul;
But in the last hour,
Let the smile of my great Jesus be,
Opening the doors of the dawn
  Of eternal day!
tr. 2015 Richard B Gillion
 
My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
  Saviour divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away,
O let me from this day
  Be wholly Thine!

While life's dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
  Be Thou my guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow’s tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
  From Thee aside.

When ends life's transient dream,
When death's cold sullen stream
  Over me roll;
Blest Saviour, then in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe above,
  A ransomed soul!
1830 Ray Palmer 1808-87
