Hoffi'r wyf dy lân breswylfa, Arglwydd, lle'r addewaist fod; Nid oes drigfa'n debyg iddi Mewn un man o dan y rhod. Teml yr Arglwydd sydd dŷ gweddi, Lle i alw arnat Ti; Derbyn dithau ein herfyniau Pan weddïom yn dy dŷ. Hoffi'r wyf dy lân fedyddfan, Lle mae'r Yspryd oddi fry Yn bendithio'r gwan aelodau, Pan dderbynir hwynt i'th dŷ. Hoffi'r wyf dy allor sanctaidd, Yno cawn gysuron hael, Bara'r bywyd, ymborth nefol Ini, bechaduriaid gwael. Hoffi'r wyf wir air y bywyd, Tystio mae am wlad yr hedd, Lle mae gwynfyd yn ddi-derfyn I'w fwynhau, tu draw i'r bedd. Hoffi'r wyf ddadseinio'th foliant Yn dy dŷ âg uchel lef - Arglwydd grasol, gwna ni'n addas I'th glodfori yn y nef.cyf. Morris Williams (Nicander) 1809-74
Tonau [8787]: |
Fond I am of thy pure dwelling-place, Lord, where that hast promised to be; There is no dwelling like it In any place under the sky. The temple of the Lord is a house of prayer, A place to call upon Thee; Receive thou our supplications When we pray in thy house. Fond I am of thy holy font, Where thy Spirit from above is Blessing the weak members, When they are received into thy house. Fond I am of thy sacred altar, There we get generous comforts, The bread of life, heavenly nutrition For us, poor sinners. Fond I am of the true word of life, Witnessing it is about the land of peace, Where there is blessedness endlessly To be enjoyed, beyond the grave. Fond I am of resounding thy praise In thy house with a loud voice - Gracious Lord, make me worthy To extol thee in heaven.tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion |
We love the place, O God, Wherein Thine honour dwells; The joy of Thine abode All earthly joy excels. It is the house of prayer Wherein Thy servants meet; And Thou, O Lord, art there Thy chosen flock to greet. We love the sacred font; For there the holy Dove To pour is ever wont His blessings from above. We love Thine altar, Lord; Oh, what on earth so dear? For there, in faith adored We find Thy presence near. We love the Word of life, The Word that tells of peace, Of comfort in the strife, And joys that never cease. We love to sing below For mercies freely giv'n; But, oh, we long to know The triumph song of Heav'n. Lord Jesus, give us grace On earth to love Thee more, In Heav'n to see Thy face, And with Thy saints adore.William Bullock 1797-1874 and Henry Williams Baker 1821-77 Tune [6666]: Quam Dilecta (Henry L Jenner 1820-98) |
