Gogoniant i'r Arglwydd sy'n llywio'n y nef Yn anfon bendithion oddi yno mae ef; Mynegi i'w seintiau'r llawenydd s'uwchben A rhoi iddynt brofiad o hono îs nen. Gogoniant i'r Arglwydd sy'n 'mostwng mewn hedd I lwch ac amwydod gael gweled ei wedd; A dwyn in' gydewyn o'i ogoniant i lawr, O gylch ei draed sanctaidd, pa ffafr mor fawr! Pan f'o'r Iesu wedi'i goroni â phob gras, Yn tannu ei belydr disglair i ma's; Mae'i'n nef ar ein henaid mewn rhan yma 'nawr, Gogoniant sy'n dechreu blaen-darddu ar y llawr. [Pan fyddo fe'n wir y'nghyfiawnder ei ras Yn tanu ei belydr'au disglaer i ma's; Mae'n nef ar ein henaid mewn rhan yma 'nawr Gogoniant sy'n dechreu blaen-darddu ar y llawr.] Paradwys o wynfyd flodeuog a hardd, O fewn i'r anialwch gwyllt yma a dardd; Ac ebrwydd 'rwy'n gosod pob synwyr a gras, Ar bethau nefolaidd sy'n felus eu blas. Ar ffrwythau'r wlad nefol 'rwy'n gwledda'n llon iawn Ac yfed i'm henaid ddiddanwch yn llawn; Diddanwch sy'n tarddu yn agos wrth dro'd Yr orsedd drag'wyddol, oddi yno mae'n d'od. Ond, O! pa mor ebrwydd mae'n gwynfyd yn ffoi; Fy mhechod sy'n codi drachefen yn gloi; A'r olwg hardd yma mae ymaith yn ddwyn, A'm gadael mewn t'w'llwch i alaru'n ddi-gwyn. Pa bryd, anwyl Iesu, daw'r amser, pa bryd, Y gwela'i'r dydd disglair wy'i'n ddisgwyl cyhyd? Pan gaffwyf i adael (gan hedeg i'th gol) Euogrwydd a phechod a th'w'llwch ar ol. I fynu i'r meusydd uwch wybren y mae Dymuniad fy enaid i fyned yn glau; Hardd flodau trag'wyddol a dardd yno'n llawn, Ac anniflannedig lawenydd a gawn.cyf.

Glory to the Lord who governs heaven Sending blessings from there is he; Expressing to his saints the joy which is above And giving to them an experience of it below the sky. Glory to the Lord who is humbled in peace For dust and worms to get to see his countenance; And brings down to us a glimpse of his glory, Around his sacred feet, what a great favour! When Jesus has been crowned with every grace, Spreading out his shining rays; It is heaven on our soul in part here now, Glory that is beginning early to issue forth on the earth. [When he is truly in the righteousness of his grace Spreading out his shining rays; It is heaven on our soul in part here now, Glory that is beginning early to issue forth on the earth.] The paradise of blessedness flourishing and beautiful, Which issues forth within this wild desert; And suddenly I am putting every sense and grace, On heavenly things which have a sweet taste. On the fruits of the heavenly land I am feasting very cheerfully And drinking into my soul comfort fully; Comfort which springs close to the foot Of the eternal throne from there it is coming. But, O how suddenly our blessedness is fleeing! It is my sin that is rising back again swiftly; And this beautiful view it steals away, And leaves me in darkness to mourn unpitied. When, dear Jesus, shall the time come, when, Shall I see the radiant day I have expected for so long? When I get leave (flying to thy bosom) Guilt and sin and darkness behind. Up to the fields above the sky is The wish of my soul to go quickly; Beautiful eternal flowers spring up there fully, And enduring joy shall be had.tr. 2019 Richard B Gillion |
Glory to God that walks the sky, And sends His blessings through; That tells His saints of joys on high, And gives a taste below. Glory to God that stoops His throne That dust and worms may see't, And brings a glimpse of glory down Around His sacred feet. When Christ, with all His graces crowned, Sheds His kind beams abroad, 'Tis a young Heav'n on earthly ground, And glory in the bud. [When Christ, with all His graces crowned, Sheds His kind beams abroad, 'Tis a young Heav'n on earthly ground, And glory in the bud.] A blooming paradise of joy In this wild desert springs; And every sense I straight employ On sweet celestial things. Cheerful I feast on heav'nly fruit, And drink the pleasures down; Pleasures that flow hard by the foot Of the eternal throne. But ah! how soon my joys decay! How soon my sins arise, And snatch the heav'nly scene away From these lamenting eyes! When shall the time, dear Jesus, when The shining day appear, That I shall leave these clouds of sin, And guilt and darkness here? Up to the fields above the skies My hasty feet would go; There everlasting flowers arise And joys unwithering grow.Isaac Watts 1674-1748 Hymns and Spiritual Songs, Bk 2, 59.
