Mae pob pleserau is y rhod Yn darfod maes o law; 'R wyf innau'n brysio yn ddi-oed I'r byd sy'r ochor draw. Pe bawn yn meddu aur Periw A pherlau'r India bell, Gwreichionen fach o ras fy Nuw Sydd drysor canmil gwell. Gwell gennyf na phleserau'r byd Un funud o fwynhau Gwedd Iesu hardd, a rydd o hyd wir fywyd i barhau. Dymunwn roi ffarwél yn lân I holl deganau'r llawr, A 'mroi trwy ras i fynd ymlaen Ar ôl fy Mhrynwr mawr.William Lewis ?-1794 Galar a Gorfoledd y Saint 1788
Tonau [CM 8686]: gwelir: Mae ngolwg ar a wlad Pob pleser is y rhod Pe meddwn aur Periw |
All the pleasures below the sky are Passing away presently; As for me, I am hurrying without delay To the life which is on the far side. If I were to posses the gold of Peru And the pearls of distant India, Little sparks of my God's grace Are a treasure a hundred thousand times better. Preferable to me than the pleasures of the world One minute of enjoying The beautiful countenance of Jesus, which will still bestow True life to endure. I would desire to bid farewell completely To all the fair things of below, And give me through grace to go on After my great Redeemer.tr. 2008 Richard B Gillion |
