O am y ffydd symudai draw Yr holl fynyddau sydd gerllaw; A theimlo ysbryd gweddi wiw Am weled llwyddiant tŷ fy Nuw: Dy gariad at drueiniaid byd Ennillo fy serchiadau ' gyd. Dymuniad cryf fy enaid yw Cael sel er achub dynolryw - I dynu pentewynion tân O'r fflam angherddol, fawr a mân; Eu troi at Dduw all faddeu'n rhad, A'u cadw'n fyw trwy Grist a'i waed. Dymunwn brynu'r amser drud, A byw i hyny yn y byd; Treulio fy mywyd dros y llu Sydd heb adnabod Iesu cu; Cyhoeddi'r genadwri fawr, A byw er lles trueiniaid llawr. Helaetha, llanwa nghalon, Ior, A dwyfol gariad fel y môr; Ac yna treulia'm nerth, heb ball, I'w gwared hwy o rwydau'r fall; A dwyn y crwydriaid adre'n ol I'r noddfa gu sydd yn dy gôl.cyf.

O for the faith that would move away All the mountains hereabout; And feel a spirit of worthy prayer To see the prosperity of the house of my God: Let thy love towards the wretches of the world Win all my affections. The strong desire of my soul is To have a zeal to save humankind - To pull firebrands From the intense flame, great and small; To turn them to God who can forgive freely, And keep them alive through Christ and his blood. I would desire to redeem the precious time, And live to this of all things; To expend my life for the multitude Who do not know dear Jesus; To publish the great message, With life for the wretches of earth. Enlarge, fill my heart, Lord, With divine love like the sea; And then I will expend my strength, without fail, In delivering them from the nets of pestilence; And lead the wanderers back home To the dear refuge which is in thy bosom.tr. 2008 Richard B Gillion |
Give me the faith which can remove And sink the mountain to a plain; Give me the childlike praying love, Which longs to build Thy house again; Thy love, let it my heart overpower, And all my simple soul devour. I want an even strong desire, I want a calmly fervent zeal, To save poor souls out of the fire, To snatch them from the verge of hell, And turn them to a pardoning God, And quench the brands in Jesus' blood. I would the precious time redeem, And longer live for this alone, To spend and to be spent for them Who have not yet my Savior known; Fully on these my mission prove, And only breathe, to breathe Thy love. My talents, gifts, and graces, Lord, Into Thy blessed hands receive; And let me live to preach Thy Word, And let me to Thy glory live; My every sacred moment spend In publishing the sinner's Friend. Enlarge, inflame, and fill my heart With boundless charity divine, So shall I all my strength exert, And love them with a zeal like Thine, And lead them to Thy open side, The sheep for whom the Shepherd died.1749 Charles Wesley 1707-1788
