Fe gynnygiodd dyfroedd lawer - Dyfroedd dyfnion mawr eu grym, Oeri'm cariad tuag atat; Gras, mae'n debyg, ddiffodd ddim: Rhan o'th natur Yw, wy'n deimlo ynwy' f'hun. Eisieu'th wel'd, yr wyf mor llwfr, Eisieu'th wel'd, yr wyf mor wan; Golwg ar dy wyneb hyfryd Gwyd yr eiddil cloff i'r lan: Dwfr bywiol Ydwyt i'r lluddedig rai. 'Does gyff'lybiaeth îs y nefoedd All yn gywir draethu maes Ddistaw, ddirgel, bur brofiadau, Ac och'neidiau'th nefol ras: Mi wn ronyn Wrth beth ydwyf beth a ddaw. Y mae cyfoeth a gogoniant A pherth'nasau yn gyttûn, A phleserau o bob rhywiau'n Colli eu henwau wrth dy glun: I dy ganlyn Fe'u gadawaf oll yn ol. Rhof ffarwel i'r holl greadigaeth; Ffarwel, feusydd gwych eu rhyw, Ffarwel, deiau teg yr olwg, Ffarwel, ddynion goreu'n fyw: Gwych gyfnewid, Duw ei hunan yn lle'r byd. Beth wyf gwaeth pe llyncai'r moroedd Ddaear eang yn eu croth? Beth wyf gwaeth pe doi gwaelodion Dyfroedd mawr yn berffaith noeth? Beth yw colli Môr a daear, ond cael Duw?William Williams 1717-91
Tonau [878747]: gwelir: Gyrwch fi i eithaf t'wyllwch Nid oes eisiau un creadur |
Many waters attempted - Deep waters of great force, To chill my heart towards thee; Grace, it is likely, extinguished anything: Part of thy nature It is, I am feeling in me myself. Need to see thee, I am so fainthearted, Neet to see thee, I am so weak; A sight of thy delightful face Will raise the feeble, lame one up: Living water Thou art to the exhausted ones. There is no likeness under the heavens Which can truly set out Quiet, secret, pure experiences, And groans of thy heavenly grace: I know a grain Beside what I shall of what is to come. There are riches and glory And properties in agreement, And pleasures of all kinds Losing their names beside thy thigh: To follow thee I will leave them all behind. I will bid farewell to the whole creation; Farewell, fields of a brilliant sort, Farewell, houses of fair appearance, Farewell, the best men alive: A brilliant exchange, God himself in place of the world. What matter if the seas should swallow The wide earth in their womb? What matter to me if the bottoms of Great waters become perfectly bare? What is it to lose Sea and earth, but to gain God?tr. 2015 Richard B Gillion |
