O Arglwydd Dduw ein tadau, Ein Craig a'n Tŵr wyt ti: O gogonedda eto Dy enw ynom ni; Ni cheisiwn fwy anrhydedd Na rhodio'n llwybrau'r groes Gan fyw i ddangos Iesu A gwasanaethu'n hoes. Nid oes i ni offeiriad Ond Iesu Grist ei hun Nac ordeiniadau eraill Ond geiriau Mab y Dyn: I ryddid pur y'n galwyd; O cadw ni'n dy waith Nes elo cyfraith rhyddid Dros ŵyneb daear faith.Howell Elvet Lewis (Elfed) 1860-1953

O Lord God of our fathers, Our rock and our tower art thou: O glorify again Thy name within us; We seek no more honour Than walking in the paths of the cross Living to show Jesus And serve him all our life. We have no priest But Jesus Christ himself No other ordinances But the words of the Son of Man To pure freedom we were called; O keep us in thy work Until the law of freedom goes Over the face of the vast earth.tr. 2024 Richard B Gillion |
O Tower and Rock of ages To those who loved your name, Today be to their children And evermore the same; No greater honour have we Than taking up the cross And following in his footsteps Whose blood redeemed our loss. Since Jesus shed his life-blood, No priest can offer more; No human ritual save us, Or open heaven's door. The word of Christ will keep us In freedom's glorious way, Until the law of freedom Brings in heaven's promised day.tr. 2024 Richard B Gillion Tune [8787D]: Bentley (J P Hullah 1812-84) |
