Gwyn fyd y galon bur lle mae Grasusau yn teyrnasu; Cariad yw'r pennaf o'r rhai hyn, A chariad sy'n eu nerthu. Gwybodaeth, chwaith, ni thâl hi ddim, Nac ofn llym, na doniau; Er ymladd, pechod garia'r dydd, Os cariad fydd yn eisiau. Hwn ydyw'r gras yn fyw a fydd Pan dderfydd ffydd a gobaith; A hwn a dery'r peraidd dant, Yn ngwlad gogoniant eilwaith. Cyn i ni ado'r tŷ O bridd, Y babell sydd ar ogwydd, Adenydd cariad sy'n ein dwyn I wel'd gwên fwyn ein Harglwydd. Gogoniant byth a fo i'r Tad I'r Mab rhad, a'r Glân Ysbryd, Fel gynt yr oedd, y mae, a bydd Dros oesoedd tragwyddolfyd. ofn llym :: ofnau llym pechod garia'r :: pechod bia'r pan dderfydd :: pan ddarfo

Tonau [MS 8787]: gwelir: Gwyn fyd y galon sy'n mwynhau |
Blessed the pure heart where Graces are reigning; Love is the chief of these, And love is strengthening them. Neither knowledge shall pay anything, Nor sharp fear, nor talents; Despite fighting, sin will carry the day, If love is lacking. This is the living grace which shall be When faith and hope pass away; And this shall strike the sweet string, In the land of glory a second time. Before we leave the house of clay, - The tent which is leaning; - The wings of love are bearing us To see the gentle smile of our Lord. Glory forever be to the Father To the gracious Son, and the Holy Spirit, As formerly it was, is, and shall be Across the ages of an eternal world. sharp fear :: sharp fears sin will carry the :: sin shall possess the :: tr. 2015,19 Richard B Gillion |
Happy the heart where graces reign, Where love inspires the breast; Love is the brightest of the train, And strengthens all the rest. Knowledge, alas! 'tis all in vain, And all in vain our fear; Our stubborn sins will fight and reign, If love be absent there. 'Tis love that makes our cheerful feet In swift obedience move; The devils know, and tremble too; But devils do not love. Before we quite forsake our clay, Or leave this dark abode, The wings of love bear us away To see our smiling God. This is the grace that lives and sings When faith and hope shall cease; 'Tis this shall strike our joyful strings In the sweet, realms of bliss.
