Iôr, dyrchefaist i'r uchelder, Eistedd wyt ar orsedd nef; Mil o filoedd rydd yn gyson Glod i ti ag uchel lef: Ond ar ôl 'r ŷm ni yn crwydro Yn ofidus mewn gwlad bell; Anfon d'Ysbryd, fe y'n dygo Bawb i etifeddiaeth well. Iôr, dyrchefaist i'r uchelder, Ar ôl sengi'n daear ni; Ond dioddefaist warth a thlodi Drosom cyn it esgyn fry: Felly ninnau, teithi 'r ydym Trwy orthrymder maith a blin; Ond, ar ôl ein holl gystuddiau, Dwg ni atat ti dy hun. Iôr, dyrchefaist i'r uchelder, Eto deui yr ail waith Gyda'r engyl a'r holl seintiau Yn y goruchafion maith. Dysg in, Arglwydd, o'th drugaredd, Felly farw, felly fyw, Modd y caffom y pryd hwnnw Weled iachawdwriaeth Duw.cyf. Morris Williams (Nicander) 1809-74

Lord, thou didst ascend to the height, Sitting thou art on the throne of heaven; A thousand thousands constantly give Acclaim to thee with a loud voice: But after our wandering Grievously in a distant land; Send thy Spirit, that he may bring Everyone to a better inheritance. Lord, thou didst ascend to the height, After treading our earth; But thou didst suffer disgrace and poverty For us before ascending above: Thus we too, travelling we are Through long and wearying oppression; But, after all our afflictions, Bring us to thee thyself. Lord, thou didst ascend to the height, Still thou wilt come the second time With the angels and all the saints In the vast highest places. Teach us, Lord, by thy mercy, Thus to die, thus to live, That we may get at that time To see the salvation of God.tr. 2023 Richard B Gillion |
Thou art gone up on high To mansions in the skies; And round Thy throne unceasingly The songs of praise arise: But we are lingering here, With sin and care opprest; Lord, send Thy promised Comforter, And lead us to Thy rest. Thou art gone up on high; But Thou didst first come down, Through earth's most bitter agony, To pass unto Thy crown; And girt with griefs and fears Our onward course must be; But only let that path of tears Lead us at last to Thee. Thou art gone up on high; But Thou shalt come again, With all the bright ones of the sky Attendant in Thy train. Lord, by Thy saving power, So make us live and die, That we may stand, in that dread hour, At Thy right hand on high.1851 Emma Leslie Toke 1812-78
