Gwyddit fy Nuw, (ond rhyfedd hyn), Fath fyddwn cyn fy ffurfio; A pha fath fydda i bob dydd O'r amser sydd i'm dreulio. A chwilia nghalon trwyddi'n lan, Agor hi o flaen dy wyneb; Pa'm cadwaf fai 'ddiwrth un barhâ Yn frawd i dragwyddoldeb? Mae'n dda im', fod fy na a'm drwg O fewn dy olwg beunydd; I'th wydd mi ddeuaf yn ddinag, Ni 'mguddiaf rhag fy Arglwydd. Rheola'm calon, Arglwydd cun, I ti dy hun mae'n perthyn; Ar ei stafelloedd bob yr un, Gosod dy hun yn frenin.William Williams 1717-91 Y Per Ganiedydd 1847 |
Thou knowest my God, (but this wonder), What I would be before my forming; And what I shall be every day From the time which is for me to spend. And search my heart completely thoroughly, Open it before thy face; Why shall I keep a fault from one who will continue As a friend for eternity? It is good for me, that my good and my evil is Within thy sight daily; To thy presence I shall come undeniably, I will not hide from my Lord. Rule my heart, dear Lord, To thee thyself it belongs; Over its chambers every one, Set thyself as king.tr. 2015 Richard B Gillion |
