I fôr o ofid suddodd Crist Wrth achub dynol-ryw, A'i enaid oedd yn chwerw drist Pan guddiwyd ŵyneb Duw. O'r diluw dwfn i fyny daeth, Er myn'd i orsedd Duw; O'i suddiad a'i ddadsuddiad Ef, Ein bedydd, darlun yw. Aeth Crist drwy fedydd dŵr a gwaed Pan drigai yn ein plith; Dilynwn ninnau ôl ei draed, Rhown barch i'w eiriau byth. Wrth suddo yn y dyfrllyd fedd, Ymwrthod 'r ŷm â'r byd, Wrth atgyfodi, dangos wnawn Mai'r nefoedd aeth â'n bryd.Hugh Jones 1831-83
Tonau [MC 8686]: |
To a sea of grief sank Christ While saving human-kind, And his soul was bitterly sad When God's face was hidden. From the deep deluge up he came, In order to go to the throne of God; Of his sinking and his unsinking, Our baptism, a picture is. Christ went through a baptism of fire and blood When he dwelt among us; Let us follow his feet, Let us render reverence to his words forever. While sinking in the watery grave, We are repudiating the world, While rising again, we are showing That the heavens took our devotion.tr. 2011 Richard B Gillion |
