Mor gref yw'th fraich alluog Dduw! O pwy nid ofnei'th enw gwiw? Iesu, mor felus yw dy ras! O pwy na charei'r Oen a'i dras? Gwnaeth mwy na Moses, hen was Duw, Ein Prophwyd mawr a'n Brenin yw; Gwaredodd ni o uffern gaeth, A dysgu'n genau i ganu wnaeth. Yn y Môr Coch trwy Foses bu I'r Aiphtiaid foddi a'u holl lu; Ond gwaed yr Oen sy'n cuddio'n bai, A boddi'n holl euogrwydd mae. A manna porthwyd Israel gynt, Pan trwy'r anialwch 'r oedd eu hynt; Ond Iesu bortha'n henaid byw, A'i gnawd ef, Bara bywiol yw. Moses o bell y gwelodd e' Wlad Canaan, heb fyn'd byth i'r lle; Ond Crist a ddwg i'r nef bob un O'i bobl gyd âg ef ei hun. Yma'n llawenydd fydd yn llawn, A theimlo fflam wresoccach cawn; A chanu'n beraidd iawn heb boen Gân Moses byth a chân yr Oen.cyf.

How strong is thy arm, mighty God! O who will not fear thy worthy name? Jesus, how sweet is thy grace! O who will not love the Lamb and his lineage? He did more than Moses, the old servant of God, Our great Prophet and our King he is; He delivered us from captive hell, And teach our mouths to sing he did. In the Red Sea through Moses were The Egyptians drowning and all their host; But the blood of the Lamb is covering our fault, And drowning all our guilt it is. With manna Israel was fed of old, When through the desert was their course; But Jesus will feed our living soul, With his flesh, the living Bread he is. Moses from afar saw The land of Canaan, without ever going to the place; But Christ will take to heaven every one Of his people with him himself. Here our joy will be full, And to feel a warmer flame we shall get; And to sing very sweetly without pain The song of Moses forever and the song of the Lamb.tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion |
How strong thine arm is, mighty God, Who would not fear thy Name! Jesus, how sweet thy graces are! Who would not love the Lamb! He has done more than Moses did, Our Prophet and our King; From bonds of hell he freed our souls, And taught our lips to sing. In the Red-sea by Moses' hand Th' Egyptian host was drown'd; But his own blood hides all our sins, And guilt no more is found. When thro' the desert Israel went, With manna they were fed; Our Lord invites us to his flesh, And calls it living bread. Moses beheld the promis'd land, Yet never reach'd the place; But Christ shall bring his followers home To see his Father's face. Then shall our love and joy be full, And feel a warmer flame; And sweeter voices tune the song Of Moses and the Lamb.Isaac Watts 1674-1748 Hymns and Spiritual Songs 1707-9
