Lawenydd ysprydol yn cael ei ddychwelyd.) Meddyliau pruddion ymaith ewch, Bryd hyn gadewch fi'n llonydd; Fy nhafod orfoledda yn Nuw, A hyfryd yw'm Llawenydd. Daeth ofn a th'w'llwch droso'i'n llen, Soddwyd fy mhen â dagrau, Ne's dyfod pelydr gras i'm cwrdd, I yrru ffwrdd fy ofnau. O pa lawenydd nefol syn A brofais yn fy yspryd, Pan dd'wedodd Crist mai' eiddo o'wn i, A eiddo fì'm Hanwylyd. Nid gwiw i'r temtiwr dorri'm hedd, Dwyn fy ngorfoledd ymaith; Un wen o'th wyneb, Iesu cu, Ddwg gysur i mi eilwaith.cyf. Dafydd Jones 1711-77 Hymnau a Chaniadau Ysprydol 1775 [Mesur: MS 8787] |
spiritual Joy being returned.) Sad thoughts, go away, Now leave me tranquil; My tongue shall rejoice in God, Who also is my joy. Fear and darkness came over me as a curtain, My head sank with tears, Until a ray of grace came to meet me, To drive away my fears. O what surprising heavenly joy I experienced in my spirit, When Christ said that I was his own, And my own was my Beloved. In vain for the tempter to break my peace, To take my rejoicing away; One smile from thy face, dear Jesus, Brings comfort to me again.tr. 2023 Richard B Gillion |
spiritual joys restored.) Hence from my soul, sad thoughts be gone, And leave me to my joys; My tongue shall triumph in my God, And make a joyful noise. Darkness and doubts had veiled my mind, And drowned my head in tears, Till sovereign grace, with shining rays, Dispelled my gloomy fears. O what immortal joys I felt, And raptures all divine, When Jesus told me I was his, And my Beloved mine! In vain the tempter frights my soul, And breaks my peace in vain; One glimpse, dear Saviour, of thy face, Revives my joys again.Isaac Watts 1674-1748 Tune: [CM 8686]: St Bernard (Tochter Sion 1741) |
