O Fab y Dyn, Eneiniog Duw, fy Mrawd A'm Ceidwad cry', Ymlaen y cerddaist dan y groes a'r gwawd Heb neb o'th du; Cans llosgi wnaeth dy gariad pur bob cam, Ni allodd angau'i hun ddiffoddi'r fflam. Cyrhaeddaist ddiben dy anturiaeth ddrud Drwy boenau mawr; A gwelais di dan faich gofidiau'r byd Yn gwyro i lawr, Ac yn dy ochain dwys a'th ddrylliog lef Yn galw'r afradloniaid tua thref. Rho imi'r weledigaeth fawr a'm try O'm crwydro ffôl I'th ddilyn hyd y llwybrau dyrys, dua Heb syllu'n ôl; A moes dy law i mi'r eiddilaf un, Ac arwain fi i mewn i'th fyd dy hun. Tydi yw'r ffordd, a mwy na'r ffordd i mi, Tydi yw 'ngrym: Pa les ymdrechu, f'Arglwydd, hebot ti, A minnau'n ddim? O rymus Un, na wybu lwfywrhau, Dy nerth a'm ceidw innau heb lesgáu.George Rees 1873-1950

O Son of God, God's Anointed, my Brother And my strong Saviour, Onward thou didst walk under the cross and the mocking With no-one on thy side; Since burn did thy pure love every step, Death itself could not extinguish the flame. Thou didst reach the aim of thy costly venture Through great pains; And I saw thee under the world's griefs Being bowed down, And in thy intense groan and thy shattered cry Calling the prodigals toward home. Give me the great vision that will turn me From my foolish wandering To follow thee along the troublesome, black paths Without gazing behind; And offer thy hand to me the most feeble one, And lead me into thy own world. Thou art the way, and more than the way to me, Thou art my power: What is the benefit of striving, my Lord, without thee, And I nothing? O powerful One, who knows no losing of heart, Thy strength shall keep me from growing weak.tr. 2021 Richard B Gillion |
O Son of Man, Christ, God's anointed One, My Saviour strong; Forsaken, thou didst bear the cross alone, Mocked by the throng: Yet thy pure love burned through the death of shame, Its bitter suff'ring could not quench the flame. Thou didst achieve thy goal, though oft repelled, Through woes unknown; Burdened with mankind's sorrows, I beheld Thee sinking down, And in thy broken cries from out the gloom I heard thee calling thy wand'ring brethren home. Grant the great vision that would make me spurn My foolish ways, To follow thee o'er the dark paths, and turn No backward gaze: Thy hand give me, the weakest, who hath erred, And lead me into thine own world, dear Lord. Thou art the way, yea more, thou art to me The power I've sought; What good, Lord, is my struggling without thee When I am nought? O mighty One, whose courage ne'er did fail, Filled with thy strength, I also shall prevail.George Rees 1873-1950
