Iesu mwyn a thirion

Jesus meek and gentle

Iesu mwyn a thyner,
  Frenin mawr y nef,
O! Iachawdwr parod,
  Gwrando ar ein llef.

Maddau ein pechodau,
  Tor bob cadwyn sy
'N rhwystro inni gerdded
  Yn dy lwybrau Di.

Gwna ni oll yn rhyddion
  Trwy dy gariad cu;
Dwg ni, sanctaidd Iesu,
  I'th drigfannau fry.

Bydd i ni'n Arweinydd
  I'r goleuni pur;
Trwy dywyllwch daear,
  Ti yw'r Ffordd yn wir.

Iesu mwyn a thirion,
  Frenin mawr y nef,
O! Iachawdwr parod,
  Gwrando ar ein llef.

Tonau [6565]:
North Coates (Timothy R Matthews 1826-1910)
Warfare (Laura J Hutton 1852-88)

Jesus gentle and tender,
  The great King of heaven,
O ready Saviour,
  Listen to our cry.

Forgive our sins,
  Break every sin that is
Preventing our walking
  In thy paths.

Make us all free
  Through thy dear love;
Bring us, holy Jesus,
  To thy dwellings above.

Be to us a Leader
  To the pure light;
Through the darkness of earth,
  Thou art truly the Way.

Jesus gentle and tender,
  The great King of heaven,
O ready Saviour,
  Listen to our cry.
 
 
 

tr. 2021 Richard B Gillion

Jesus, meek and gentle,
  Son of God most high,
Gracious, loving Saviour,
  Hear Thy children’s cry.

Pardon our offences,
  Loose our captive chains,
Break down every idol
  Which our soul detains.

Give us holy freedom,
  Fill our hearts with love;
Draw us, holy Jesus,
  To the realms above.

Lead us on our journey,
Be Thyself the way
Through our earthly darkness
 To the heavenly day.

Jesus gentle and tender,
  The great King of heaven,
O ready Saviour,
  Listen to our cry.
Gracious :: Pitying
our earthly :: earth's passing :: terrestrial
the heavenly :: heaven's endless :: celestial
