Mae pleser îs y rhôd A dderfydd maes o law; Ar bleser uwch y mae fy nôd, Yn nhir y bywyd draw. Pe meddwn aur Peru, A pherlau'r India bell, Mae gronyn bach o râs fy Nuw Yn drysor canmil gwell. Gwell na phleserau'r byd Un funyd o'th fwynhau; Gwedd Iesu hardd rŷdd imi o hyd Wir fywyd i barhau. Dymunwn ado'n lân Holl wâg deganau'r llawr, A phenderfynu myn'd yn mlaen Ar ôl fy Mhrynwr mawr.William Lewis ?-1794
Tonau [MB 6686]: gweler: Mae pob pleserau is y rhod Pe meddwn aur Periw |
There is pleasure beneath the vault That shall vanish soon; On pleasure above is my aim, In the land of life yonder. If I possessed the gold of Peru, And the pearls of distant India, A little grain of my God's grace is A treasure a hundred thousand times better. Better than the pleasures of the world One minute of enjoying thee; The countenance of beautiful Jesus shall give me always True life to endure. I would wish to leave completely All the empty trinkets of earth below, And determine to go forward After my great Redeemer.tr. 2020 Richard B Gillion |
