Galarnad Pechadur) Na thro dy ŵyneb, Arglwydd glân, Oddi wrth un truan agwedd, Y sydd o flaen dy borth yn awr, Mewn cystudd mawr yn gorwedd. Yr wyf yn gorwedd wrth dy ddôr, Attolwg agor i mi; Er fod fy muchedd yn ddi-rôl, 'Rwy'n edifeiriol, gweli. Na alw mo'nof ger dy fron, I roddi union gyfrif: Yr wy'n cydnabod, fy Nuw hael, Y bywyd gwael oedd genyf. Felly y deuaf at dy borth, I ddisgwyl cymmhorth ddigon, Sef dy drugaredd i lanhau Fy holl welïau budron. Trugaredd, f'Arglwydd, heb ddim mwy, Yw'r cwbl yr wy'n ei geisio; Trugaredd yw fy newis lwydd, Trugaredd, f'Arglwydd, dyro! Felly :: Fel hyn

The Lament of a Sinner) Turn not thy face, holy Lord, Away from one of a wretched aspect, Who is before thy gate now, In great affliction lying. I am lying at thy door, I beseech thee open to me; Although my conduct is unruly, I am repentant, see thou. Do not call me before thee, To give a strict account: I am recognising, my generous God, The base poor life I have been having. Therefore I come to thy gate, To await sufficient help, That is, thy mercy to cleanse All my filthy ulcers. Mercy, my Lord, with nothing more, Is all I am seeking; Mercy is my successful choice, Mercy, my Lord, give! :: tr. 2015 Richard B Gillion |
O Lord, turn not Thy face from me, Who lie in woeful state, Lamenting all my sinful life Before Thy mercy-gate. A gate which opens wide to those That do lament their sin; Shut not that gate against me, Lord, But let me enter in. And call me not to strict account How I have sojourned here; For then my guilty conscience knows How vile I shall appear. So come I to Thy mercy gate, Where mercy doth abound, Requiring mercy for my sin To heal my deadly wound. Mercy, good Lord, mercy I ask; This is my humble prayer; For mercy, Lord is all my suit, O let Thy mercy spare.
