Haul f'enaid gwan, Iachawdwr cu, Nid oes fyth nos lle byddi Di; Na ddeued cwmwl daiar las I guddio'th wedd o ŵydd Dy was. Pan daflo cwsg ei edyn cun, A dwyn i'm llygaid ysgafn hun; Mor felus meddwl rhoi fy mhen I orphwys ar Dy fynwes wen. Os bu i neb afradlon gwan Ddibrisio heddyw'r nefol ran; Trwy'th rasol ddawn na ad Dy was I orwedd mwy mewn pechod cas. O gwylia'r claf, a moes i'r gwael Fendithion rhad o'th drysor hael, Rho gwsg i'r holl alarwyr blin - Hun dawel baban i bob un. Bendithia ni ar doriad gwawr I redeg gyrfa flin y llawr, Hyd nes ym môr Dy gariad Di Yn nef y nef y coller ni.cyf. Daniel Lewis Lloyd 1843-89 [Mesur: MH 8888] |
Sun of my weak soul, dear Saviour, It is never night where thou art; May no cloud of blue-green earth come To hide thy face from thy servant's sight. Whenever sleep casts is dear wings And brings to my eyes gentle slumber; How sweet to think thou dost lay my head To rest upon thy blessed bosom. If any weak prodigal has Disparaged today the heavenly portion; Through thy gracious gift do not let thy servant Lie any more in detestable sin. O watch the sick, and give to the poorly Free blessings from thy generous treasure, Grant sleep to all the weary mourners - The quiet slumber of a baby to every one. Bless us at the break of dawn To run the weary course of earth below, Until in the sea of thy love In the heaven of heaven we be lost.tr. 2021 Richard B Gillion |
Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear, It is not night if Thou be near; O may no earth-born cloud arise To hide Thee from Thy servants eyes. When the soft dews of kindly sleep My wearied eyelids gently steep, Be my last thought, how sweet to rest Forever on my Saviour's breast. If some poor wandering child of Thine Has spurned today the voice divine, Now, Lord, the gracious work begin; Let him no more lie down in sin. Watch by the sick, enrich the poor With blessings from Thy boundless store; Be every mourner's sleep tonight, Like infants' slumbers, pure and right. Come near and bless us when we wake, Ere through the world our way we take, Till in the ocean of Thy love We lose ourselves in Heaven above.1820 John Keble 1792-1866
