O! Dduw 'r wyn'n hoffi'r tŷ Lle trig dy enw glân; Dof i'th gynteddau cu  diolch ac â chân. Tŷ gweddi ydyw ef, Lle cwrdd dy blant ynghyd; Hwn ydyw porth y nef, Ac yma gwyn fy myd. 'R wy'n hoffi, nefol Dad, Fedyddfan lwys y tŷ, Lle ceir bendithion rhad Yr Ysbryd oddi fri. Y sanctaidd allor sydd Anwylaf man i mi, Lle cenfydd llygaid ffydd Dy bresenoldeb Di. 'R wy'n hoffi'r gyfrol bur Sydd yn cyhoeddi hedd, Sy'n dweud am falm i gur, A hoen tu hwnt i'r bedd. 'R wy'n hoffi cân y llawr Am drugareddau lu; Ond O! am anthem fawr Y dyrfa ddedwydd fry. Grist, rho dy ras a'th hedd, I'th garu fwy o hyd, Nes im gael gweld dy wedd Mewn gogoneddus fyd.cyf. Robert Arthur Williams (Berw) 1854-1926 Tôn [6666]: Quam Dilecta (Henry L Jenner 1820-98) |
O God, I love the house Where thy holy name dwells; I come into thy dear courts With thanks and with song. A house of prayer it is, Where thy children meet together; This is the gate of heaven, And here I am blessed. I love, heavenly Father, The pure baptistery of thy house, Where the gracious blessings of the Spirit From above are had. The sacred altar is The dearest place to me, Where the eye of faith finds Thy presence. I love the pure volume That is announcing peace, Which tells about balm for a wound, And liveliness beyond the grave. I love the song of earth below About a host of mercies; But oh! for the great anthem Of the happy throng above. Christ, grant thy grace and thy peace, To love thee more always, Until I get to see thy countenance In a glorious world.tr. 2021 Richard B Gillion |
We love the place, O God, Wherein Thine honour dwells; The joy of Thine abode All earthly joy excels. It is the house of prayer Wherein Thy servants meet; And Thou, O Lord, art there Thy chosen flock to greet. We love the sacred font; For there the holy Dove To pour is ever wont His blessings from above. We love Thine altar, Lord; Oh, what on earth so dear? For there, in faith adored We find Thy presence near. We love the Word of life, The Word that tells of peace, Of comfort in the strife, And joys that never cease. We love to sing below For mercies freely giv'n; But, oh, we long to know The triumph song of Heav'n. Lord Jesus, give us grace On earth to love Thee more, In Heav'n to see Thy face, And with Thy saints adore.William Bullock 1797-1874 revised by Henry W Baker 1821-77 Tune[6666]: Quam Dilecta (Henry L Jenner 1820-98) |
