Melys yw dydd y Saboth llon, Na flined gofal byd fy mron, Ond boed fy nghalon i mewn hwyl Fel telyn Dafydd ar yr ŵyl. Gwaith hyfryd iawn a melys yw Moliannu d'enw di, O Dduw; Sôn am dy gariad fore glas, A'r nos am wirioneddau'th gras. Yn Nuw fy nghalon lawenha, Bendithio'i waith a'i air a wna; Mor hardd yw gwaith dy ras, O Dduw, A'th gyngor di, mor ddwfwn yw. Mae gwir lawenydd ger dy fron Yn ffrydiau pur i lonni 'mron; Ond mi gaf lawn ogoniant fry Pan buro gras fy nghalon i. Caf wel'd a chlywed yno yngyd Oll a ddymunais yn y byd; A'm henaid a gaiff felus waith Yn y tragwyddol fywyd maith. Tydi yw'r bythol, fywiol Dduw, Erioed y bu dy orsedd wiw; Sancteiddrwydd pur, a pharch dilyth, A weddi i'th Dŷ, O! Arglwydd byth.cyf. Dafydd Jones 1711-77

Sweet is the day of the cheerful Sabbath, May no worldly care afflict my breast, But let my heart be in tune Like David's harp at the festival. It is very pleasant and sweet work To praise thy name, O God; To talk of thy love in the early morn, And at night of the truths of grace. My heart will rejoice in God, Bless his work and his word I shall; How beautiful is the work of thy grace, O God, As thy counsel, as profound as it is. There is true joy before thee In pure streams to my breast; But I shall have abundant glory on high When grace has purified my heart. I may see and hear there together All I desired in the world; And my soul will have a sweet work In the vast eternal life. Thou art the everlasting, living God, Thy worthy throne has been forever; Pure holiness, and unfailing honour, Befit thy House, O everlasting Lord!tr. 2008,12 Richard B Gillion

Sweet is the day of sacred rest, No mortal cares shall seize my breast. O may my heart in tune be found, Like David’s harp of solemn sound! Sweet is the work, my God, my King, To praise Thy Name, give thanks and sing, To show Thy love by morning light And talk of all Thy truth at night. My heart shall triumph in my Lord And bless His works and bless His Word. Thy works of grace, how bright they shine! How deep Thy counsels, how divine! But I shall share a glorious part, When grace has well refined my heart; And fresh supplies of joy are shed, Like holy oil, to cheer my head. Then shall I see, and hear, and know All I desired and wished below; And every power find sweet employ In that eternal world of joy. And then what triumphs shall I raise To Thy dear name through endless days, For in the realms of joy I’ll see Thy face in full felicity.1719 Isaac Watts 1674-1748
