Gobaith mawr y mae'r addewid Wedi'i osod draw o'm blaen; Hyn a gynnal f'enaid egwan Rhag im lwyfyrhau yn lân. Gobaith, wedi rhyfel caled, Y caf fuddugoliaeth lawn; Gobaith bore heb gymylau Ar ôl noswaith dywyll iawn. Gobaith, ar ôl maith gystuddiau, Y caf fod heb boen na chlwy'; Gobaith, yn y ffwrnais danllyd, Y'm ceir heb fy sorod mwy. Gobaith, yn yr anial garw, Y cyfhaeddaf Ganaan wlad; Wedi crwydro 'mhell o gartref, Gobaith dod i dŷ fy Nhad.John Jones 1796-1857
Tonau [8787]: |
A great hope is the promise Set yonder before me; That shall support my weak soul Lest I loose heart completely. Hope, after a hard war, I shall get a full victory; The hope of a morning without clouds After a very dark night. Hope, after vast tribulations, I shall get be without pain or wound; Hope, in the fiery furnace, I shall be found without dross any more. Hope, in the rough desert, I shall reach Canaan land; After wandering far from home, Hope to come to my Father's house.tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion |
