Nid wy'n ofni tir y bywyd, Hwnw 'nghartref hyfryd yw; Ond 'rwy'n ofni yr agendor Fawr sydd rhwng y marw a'r byw: Angeu dwfn yw'r Iorddonen Wyf o hyd yn ofni ei brad; Tonau ynt sydd raid myn'd trwyddynt, Maes o'r byd i dŷ fy Nhad. 2 Mi anturiaf, rhaid yw cynnyg, Nofio tonau, er maint eu grym, Na fum etto, er y'm ganwyd Mewn fath donau mawrion ddim: Gallu'r nefoedd fawr ei hunan Ddeil fy enaid llesg i'r lan; Gras yn marw ar Galfaria Ydyw noddfa'm hysbryd gwan. 3 O bob enw yn mhlith dynion, Dyna'r enw goreu i gyd - Duw dan hoelion ar y croesbren, Yno'n marw dros y byd; Gwaed yn llifo ar Galfaria, Môr o haeddiant, môr o hedd, Od oes dim a saif i fyny, Saif yn erbyn angeu a'r bedd. 4 Ofni'r wyf, ac etto canu, Canu wrth feddwl am y dydd, Dan ymdrechu âg angeu creulon, 'R â pob cadwyn gref yn rhydd; Cyll pleserau'n lân eu gafael Os bydd angeu'n gongcrwr mawr; Os y bedd ga'r fuddugoliaeth, Fe gwymp pechod yntau i lawr. 5 Cyll y pechod hwnw 'i afael Fynai f'ysbryd dan ei droed, Hwnw barodd i mi riddfan Lawer cant o weithiau 'rioed; Diwedd caru unrhyw bleser, Dechreu hyfryd haf o hedd, Pan bo angeu'n gorfoleddu, Ac yn chwerthin ar y bedd.William Williams 1717-91
Tonau [8787D]: gwelir: Tyred Arglwydd i'r anialwch |
I am not fearing the land of life, That is my delightful home; But I am fearing the great Gulf that is between the dying and the living: Deep death is the Jordan I am still fearing its treachery; Waves there are that I must go through, Out of the world to my Father's house. I will venture, it is necessary to offer, To swim waves, despite how great their force, I have never yet, although I was born In such great waves, at all: The power of great heaven itself Shall hold my feeble soul up; Grace dying on Calvary Is the refuge of my weak spirit. Of every name among men, That is the best name of all - God under nails on the wooden cross, There dying for the world; Blood flowing on Calvary, A sea of merit, a sea of peace, If there is any shall stand up, It shall stand against death and the grave. Fearing I am, and yet singing, Singing while thinking about the day, While overcoming cruel death, Every strong chain shall go free; Pleasures shall completely lose their grasp If death shall be a great conqueror; If the grave shall get the victory, Sin itself shall fall down. That sin shall lose its grasp That kept my spirit under its foot, That caused me to groan Many a hundred of times already; The end of loving any pleasure, The beginning of a delightful summer of peace, When death be rejoicing, And laughing at the grave.tr. 2022 Richard B Gillion |
