Fy ngweddi, dos i'r nef, Yn union at fy Nuw, A dywed wrtho Ef yn daer, "Atolwg, Arglwydd, clyw! Gwna'n ôl d'addewid wych I'm dwyn i'th nefoedd wen; Yn Salem fry partô fy lle Mewn llys o fewn i'r llen." Pererin llesg a llaith, Dechreuais daith oedd bell, Trwy lu o elynion mawr eu brad Gan geisio gwlad sydd well; Am ffoi mae f'enaid tlawd At f'annwyl Frawd a'm Pen; Yn Salem fry partô fy lle Mewn llys o fewn i'r llen. [Pererin llesg a llaith, Dechreuais daith oedd bell, Trwy'r holl elynion mawr eu brad Gan geisio gwlad sydd well; Iachâ bob clwyf a brath A dail y bywiol bren, Yn Salem fry par'to fy lle Mewn llys o fewn i'r llen.] Yng nglyn wylofain trist, Lle bu fy Nghrist, 'r wy'n byw; Ac wrth ryfela â'm gelyn caeth Fy nghalon aeth yn friw; Iachâ bob clwyf a brath  dail y bywiol bren; Yn Salem fry partô fy lle Mewn llys o fewn i'r llen. Mae 'mrodyr uwch y nen Yn canu ar ben eu taith; A minnau oedais lawer awr Ar siwrnai fawr a maith; Ond bellach tyn fi'n ddwys, Ar Grist dod bwys fy mhen; Yn Salem fry partô fy lle Mewn llys o fewn i'r llen. Gwna im' fyn'd ymlaen yn ddewr, Trwy ddyfroedd mawr a thân, Heb ofni Satan lew na'i lu, Nes elwy' i Seion lân; Gan ddiangc ar y byd, I'm cartref clŷd uwch ben: Yn Salem fry partô fy lle Mewn llys o fewn i'r llen. 'R wy'n gwel'd yr oriau'n hir, I fod o dir fy ngwlad; 'Bryd deuaf at fy mrodyr fry, Sy'n canu yn nhŷ fy Nhad? Gael gorphen ar fy nhaith, A'm siwrne faith îs nen: Yn Salem fry partô fy lle Mewn llys o fewn i'r llen. I'm dwyn :: Dwg fi Ar siwrnai :: Ar yrfa

My prayer, go to heaven, Directly to my God, And say to Him dearly, Beseeching, Lord, hear! Do according to thy wonderful promise Lead me to thy bright heavens; In Salem above prepare my place In the court within the curtain. A pilgrim weary and timid, I began my journey which was far, Through a host of enemies of great treachery While seeking the land which is better; For my poor soul to flee To my dear Brother and my Head; In Salem above prepare my place In the court within the curtain. [A pilgrim weary and timid, I began my journey which was far, Through all the enemies of great treachery While seeking the land which is better; Heal every wound and pang With the leaves of the lively tree, In Salem above prepare my place In the court within the curtain.] In the vale of sad lamentation, Where Christ was, I am living; And while battling with my enemy of captivity My heart gets broken; Heal every wound and pang With the leaves of the tree of life; In Salem above prepare my place In the court within the curtain. My brothers are above the sky Singing at the end of their travel; While I have tarried below for an hour On a journey great and long; But now draw me firmly, On Christ lean my head; In Salem above prepare my place In the court within the curtain. Make me go forward bravely, Through great waters and fire, Without fearing the lion Satan or his host, Until I go to holy Zion; Escaping from the world, To my secure home over head: In Salem above prepare my place In the court within the curtain. I am seeing the hours as long, To be from the land of my country; When shall I come to my brothers above, Who are singing in my Father's house? To get to finish on my travel, And my vast journey under the sky: In Salem above prepare my place In the court within the curtain. :: On a journey :: On a course tr. 2009,17 Richard B Gillion |
Direct unto my God, With speed, my cry ascend: Present to Him this urgent plea: - "In mercy, Lord, attend! Fulfil thy gracious word, To bring me to thy rest; In Salem soon my place prepare, And make me ever blest!" "Down in a vale of tears Where dwelt my Christ I mourn, And in the conflict with my foes, My tender heart is torn: O heal each bleeding wound, With thy life-giving tree; In Salem, Lord, above the strife, A place prepare for me!" Tune [MBD 6686D]: Iona (Day's Psalter 1563) |
