1,2,3; 1,3,(4),5; 1,3,4,5,6. Nid fy nef yw ar y ddaear, Pe goreu man dan gwmpas haul: Fy nef yw tawel bresennoldeb Wyneb siriol Adda'r ail: Gwena arnaf, Arglwydd grasol, Gwaeddaf allan, Digon yw; Yna 'nghanol cyfyngderau Byth yn llawen byddaf byw. Gwnes y dewis goreu wneuthpwyd, Dewis Brenin nefoedd wen - Yn Dad, yn Briod, ac yn Gyfaill, Yn Frawd, yn Geidwad, ac yn Ben; Cyfoeth mawr didrai, difesur, Sydd yn nghadw i mi'n stôr, A bendithion oll, pe rhifid, Megys tywod mân y môr. Môr sydd ynot o fendithion Heb waelodion iddo'n bod; Mae yn llanw 'mlaen bob munyd, Nid oes diwedd ar dy glod; D'enw beunydd sy'n helaethu — Beunydd yn ymdaenu i maes; Bydd telynaun canu iddo Fel rhifedi gwellt y maes. Yn dy glwyfau y mae bywyd, Tyllau'r hoelion yw fy nyth; 'D ofnaf fyd, na chnawd, na phechod, Nac euogrwydd yno byth: Gwaed fy Mhriod wedi ei golli, Archoll fawr y waywffon, Yw fy nghraig a'm dinas noddfa Sicr ar y ddaear hon. Yno boed fy mwyd am diod, Dan ganghenau gwych y pren Sydd â'i wreiddyn ar y daaear, Ei frigau yn y nefoedd wen; Dyn â'r Duwdod ynddo'n trigo, Ffrwythau arno'n tyfu'n llawn; Cysgod dano i'r ffyddloniaid O foreuddydd hyd brydnawn. Dedwydd yw sy'n berchen arnat, Dedwydd yfo o dy hedd, Gallant chwerthin fyth wrth weled, Cynghrair satan fawr a'r bedd; Bydd breninoedd mewn cadwynau 'N llechu'n isel tan eu traed, Hwy ar ddeheu'r Oen yn moli, Wedi dod trwy rin y gwaed. - - - - - Nid fy nef yw ar y ddaear, Pe y goreu man dan haul; Ond fy nef yw presenoldeb Siriol wyneb Adda'r ail: Gwena arnaf, Arglwydd grasol, Gwaeddaf allan, digon yw; Yna 'nghanol cyfyngderau Fyth yn llawen byddaf byw. Arglwydd Iesu, rho im' feddu Gwedd dy wyneb, digon yw; Nefoedd f'enaid gwan yw gweled Gwedd dy wyneb Di, fy Nuw. Gwedd dy wyneb yw fy mywyd, Gwedd dy wyneb yw fy hedd, Gwedd dy wyneb ydyw'r cwbwl Yma a thu draw i'r bedd.William Williams 1717-91

My heaven is not on the earth, If the best place were under the compass of the sun: My heaven is the quiet presence Of the cheerful face of the second Adam: Smile upon me, gracious Lord, I will shout out, Sufficient he is; Then in the midst of straits Forever cheerfully I shall be living. I made the best choice every made, The choice of the King of bright heaven - As Father, as Spouse, and as Friend, As Brother, as Saviour, and as Head; A great, unebbing, immeasurable wealth, He is keeping for me in store, With all blessings, if numbered, Like the fine sand of the sea. A sea there is in thee of blessings Without there being any bottom to it; It is flowing onwards every minute, There is no end to thy praise; Thy name daily is broadening - Daily spreading out; Harps shall be playing to him Numbered like the grass of the field. In thy wounds is my life, The holes of the nails are my nest; I will fear neither world, nor flesh, nor sin, Nor guilt there ever: The blood of my Spouse having been spilled, The great wound of the spear, Is thy rock and my city of refuge Secure on this earth. There may my food and drink be, Under the brilliant branches of the tree, Which has its root on the earth, Its twigs in the blessed heavens; Man with the divinity in it dwelling, Fruits upon it growing full; Shade under it for the faithful From morning until evening. Happy is one who belongs to thee, Happy to drink of thy peace, They may laugh forever on seeing, The league of great satan, and the grave; The kings shall be in chains Crouching lowly under their feet, They on the right of the Lamb praising, Having come through the merit of the blood. - - - - - My heaven is not on the earth, Even if the best place under the sun; But my heaven is the presence Of the cheerful face of the second Adam: Smile upon me, gracious Lord, I will shout out, Sufficient he is; Then in the midst of straits Forever cheerfully I shall be living. Lord Jesus, grant me to possess The countenance of thy face, sufficient it is; The heaven of my weak soul is to see The countenance of Thy face my God. The countenance of thy face is my life, The countenance of thy face is my peace, The countenance of thy face is the whole Here and beyond the grave.tr. 2106,17 Richard B Gillion |
I made the best choice ever made - The choice of the King of bright heaven, As Father, as Spouse, and as Friend, As Brother, as Saviour, and as Head: Great wealth, unebbing, unending, Is kept for me in store, And blessings, all if it were counted, Like the fine sand of the sea.tr. William Williams 1717-91
