Gorwedodd Crist, Iachawdwr byd, Dan oerllwm weryd marwol; Gadawodd hefyd, dwyfol Ion Fedd eigion yn fuddugol! Disgynodd Duw at Adda dad Ar ddisglair doriad gwawrddydd; O'i fedd esgynodd Iesu gwyn O'i gladdiad cyn goleuddydd. Ac iawn i minnau ufuddhau Gan ddilyn camrau f'Arglwydd; O weithred Iesu'r uchaf wr Mewn bedydd dw'r rho'ed arwydd. Fy medydd boed yn atteb oll Ei fawr a'i ddigoll fwriad: A chladder fy euogrwydd trist Ym meddrod Crist fy Ngheidwad. Bedyddia fi ā'r Yspryd Glān Boed duwiol anian ynof; Nes ca'el drwy nerthol ras y nef Fy hunan gref o honof. I brofi purdeb cywir ffydd Uwch caerau'r dydd sy'n esgyn, Ufudd-dod gras ar sylfaen gref Mae Brenhin nef yn ofyn. Arwyddo bywyd a glanhad Mae'r ordinhad sancteiddiaf; Ar adgyfodiad mawr a fydd Pan ddelo'r dydd diweddaf. Mae'r impiad hwn yn rhoddi hawl I bob gweinyddawl freintiau; Yn Eglwys Crist trwy undeb fydd Bob nos a dydd hyd angau. O 'stad o bechod fel o'r bedd, Daearen llygredd diras Cyfoder fi, drwy ras i fyw Yn nheyrnas wiw 'r Messias.David Thomas (Dafydd Ddu o Eryri) 1759-1822 Corph y Gaingc 1810 [Mesur: NS 8787] |
Christ, the world's Saviour, lay Under the cold deathly soil; The divine Lord also left The depths of a grave victorious! God descended to father Adam At the radiant break of dawn; From his grave ascended blessed Jesus From his burial before daylight. And right for me to obey By following the steps of my Lord; From the action of Jesus the highest man In baptism of water a sign was given. Let my baptism be all responding to His great and his unfailing intention: And may my sad guilt be buried In the tomb of Christ my Saviour. Baptise me with the Holy Spirit May a divine nature be in me; Until through heaven's strong grace, Becoming strong myself. To experience the true purity of faith Above the fields of the day that is ascending, The obedience of grace on a strong foundation The King of heaven is demanding. Signifying life and cleansing Is the most sacred ordinance; On the great resurrection that shall be When the last day comes. This grafting gives the right To all the privileges of service; In the Church of Christ through the unity of faith Every night and day until death. From the state of sin, as from the grave, Of corrupt, graceless earth, I shall be raised, through grace to live In the worthy kingdom of the Messiah.tr. 2023 Richard B Gillion |
