I enw'th Dad, Iesu, rhown foliant bob rhai, Dy Dduw, a'n Duw ninnau'r un ydynt eich dau; Pa werthfawr fendithion ddaw'n union o'r nef, I ni bechaduriaid trwy'i dirion Fab ef? Fy mbrif etholedig sydd Crist, medd y Tad, Ac yn ein Pen Iesu ein dewis a wna'd Cyn dwyn y mynyddau a'r bryniau o'u bru, Neu osod sylfeini i'r ddaear oer ddu. Fel hyn bythol gariad ddechreuodd yn Nuw, I'n codi o farwolaeth a phechod i fyw; Ein henwau ordeiniwyd bryd hyn gan y Tad, Difeius mewn cariad, yn sanctaidd bur had. Rhagluniwyd ni fod iddo'n feibion cyn byd, Fe'n ganed yn raddol, dewiswyd ni 'nghyd; Ac fe'n hadgenhedlwyd o newydd i fyw, I foli'n wastadol ogoniant gras Duw. Ni gawn gyd â'n Harglwydd ran hylwydd yn rhad Yn 'wyllys a chariad mwyn tirion y Tad; Ni thynnir ni oddi yno, mae'n henaid ynglyn, Ne's byddo'n anghofio'i Fab anwyl ei hun.cyf.

To thy Father's name, Jesus, let us give praise of every kind, Thy God, and our God the same are they both; What precious blessings come straight from heaven, To us sinners through his tender Son? My chief chosen one is Christ, says the Father, And in our Head Jesus our election was made Before bringing the mountains and the hills from their womb, Or setting foundations for the cold black earth. Thus it was everlasting love that began in God, To raise us from death and sin to live; Our names were ordained then by the Father, Faultless in love, as holy pure seed. It was provided for us to be his sons before the world, He birthed us gradually, we were chosen all together; And we were regenerated anew to live, To praise constantly the glory of God's grace. We may get with our Lord a prosperous part freely In the tender, gentle will and love of the Father; We are not to be pulled from there, our soul is tied, Until he forgets his own dear Son himself.tr. 2018 Richard B Gillion |
Jesus, we bless thy Father's name; Thy God and ours are both the same; What heav'nly blessings from his throne Flow down to sinners through his Son! "Christ be my first elect," he said, Then chose our souls in Christ our head, Before he gave the mountains birth, Or laid foundations for the earth. Thus did eternal love begin To raise us up from death and sin; Our characters were then decreed, "Blameless in love, a holy seed." Predestinated to be sons, Born by degrees, but chose at once, A new regenerated race, To praise the glory of his grace. With Christ our Lord we share our part In the affections of his heart; Nor shall our souls be thence removed, Till he forgets his first-beloved.Isaac Watts 1674-1748 [Mesur: MH 8888] |
