I achub f'enaid tlawd mewn pryd, Drwy brynu ' mywyd i, Ei hun yn aberth aeth ein Ior Ar allor Calfari. Oddiar orseddau'r dysglaer saint, O ganol braint a bri; Ei hun yn aberth aeth ein Ior Ar allor Calfari. Os tlawd a noeth, dylêd i'r nef, O llef â'th ddagrau'n lli; I dalu drosot, Iawn roes Ior Ar allor Calfari. Mae'n felus gan fy enaid sôn Am droion Un yn Dri; Ond mil melusach sôn am Iôr Ar allor Calfari.Owen Williams (Owain Gwyrfai) 1790-1874 Llyfr Emynau 1823 Tôn [MC 8686]: Martyrdom (Hugh Wilson 1766-1824) |
To save my poor soul in time, Through ransoming my life, Himself as a sacrifice our Lord went On the altar of Calvary. From the thrones of the radiant saints, From the centre of privilege and renown, Himself as a sacrifice our Lord went On the altar of Calvary. If poor and naked, to heaven thou must, O cry with thy tears as a flood; To pay for thee, a Ransom the Lord gave On the altar of Calvary. It is sweet for my soul to mention The turns of the One in Three; But a thousand times sweeter to mention the Lord On the altar of Calvary.tr. 2019 Richard B Gillion |
