Gan ymchwel, Arglwydd, at Dy draed, A'n golwg ar haeddianau'r gwaed, Cyfaddef wnawn ein haeddiant ni O fod o dan dy farnau Di. Dy adael wnaethom, a phellhau, Gan ddewis i ni dduwiau gau, Pleserau gwâg a gwên y byd, A mwyniant pechod aeth a'n bryd. Er gwybod am y ffynon hael Cloddiasom in' bydewau gwael; Ac er galwadau gras o'n hol, Anufudd fu ein calon ffôl. O Arglwydd Iôr, tosturia Di, Yn Dy drugaredd arbed ni, Rho râs i'n dwyn i lawr yn wir, A throi ein hofn yn ddiolch hir.Owen Griffith (Alafon) 1847-1916
Tôn [MH 8888]: Bryn-y-Wawr |
Returning, Lord, to Thy feet, With our sight on the merits of the blood, Confess we do our deserts To be under Thy judgments. Leave Thee we did, and distanced ourselves, By choosing for ourselves false gods, Empty pleasures and the world's smile, And the enjoyment of sin took our attention. Although knowing about the generous fount We had dug ourselves poor pits; And despite the calls of grace after us, Disobedient were our foolish hearts. O Sovereign Lord, be Thou merciful, In Thy mercy save us, Grant grace to bring us down truly And turn our fears into long thanksgiving.tr. 2019 Richard B Gillion |
