O Arglwydd moes im dduwiol ofn Rhag pechu i'th erbyn mwy; A phan ddêl temtasiynau, rho Dy nerth i'w concro hwy. N'ad imi mwyach, tra fwyf byw, Lân Ysbryd Duw dristáu; Ond bydded fy nghydwybod i Yn dyner i barhau. Os troi i'r dde neu'r aswy wnaf, O! argyhoedda'n llym, A boed i ŵylo dagrau dwys, Heb fod gorffwysfa im. Y trosedd lleiaf, pared boen I'm henaid, O! fy Nuw; A thro fi eilwaith at y gwaed A lwyr iachâ fy mriw.cyf. Llyfr Emynau a Thonau 1929
Tonau [MC 8686]: |
O Lord give me a godly fear Of sinning against thee any more; And when temptations come, grant Thy strength to conquer them. Do not let me henceforth, while I live, God's Holy Spirit sadden; But may my conscience be Tender evermore. If turn to the right or to the left I do, O! convict me sharply, And may I weep intense tears, Until I have a resting place. The least trespass, may it cause pain To my soul, O my God! And turn me again to thy blood Which completely heals my wound.tr. 2020 Richard B Gillion |
I want a principle within of watchful, godly fear, a sensibility of sin, a pain to feel it near. From thee that I no more may stray, No more thy goodness grieve, Grant me the filial awe, I pray, The tender conscience give. Quick as the apple of an eye, O God, my conscience make; Awake my soul when sin is nigh, And keep it still awake. O may the least omission pain My reawakened soul, And drive me to that blood again, Which makes the wounded whole.Charles Wesley 1707-88 More complete version here |
