O! Gristion gwan! paid llwfrhau, Mae modd it' fyw er maint dy fai; Mae'r Hwn fu farw yn dy le Yn eiriol drosot yn y ne'. O! gristion gwan! paid llwfrhau, Mae pen y bryn yn agosâu; Er bod y rhiwiau yma'n serth, Yn ol dy ddydd y bydd dy nerth. O! gristion gwan! paid llwfrhau, Mae tŷ dy Dad yn agosâu; Os cario'r cledd 'rwyt yn dy law, Cei'r palmwydd gwyrdd yr ochr draw. O! gristion gwan! paid llwfrhau, Mae'th gam diweddaf iti nesâu, Er bod yr yrfa yma'n faith, Cei goron aur ar ben dy daith.Joseph Harris (Gomer) 1773-1825 Tôn [NH 8888]: Babylon (Thomas Campion 1567-1620) |
O weak Christian, do not lose heart! There is a way for thee to live despite thy fault; He who died in thy place is Interceding for thee in heaven. O weak Christian, do not lose heart! The summit of the hill is drawing near; Although the hills here be steep, According to thy days shall be thy strength. O weak Christian, do not lose heart! Thy Father's house is drawing near; If carrying thy sword thou art in thy hand, Thou shalt get the green palms on yonder side. O weak Christian, do not lose heart! Thy last step is drawing near, Although the course here be long, Thou shalt get the gold crown at the end of thy journey.tr. 2020 Richard B Gillion |
