O Iesu mi addewais Dy ffyddlon ganlyn Di, Bydd Dithau yn Arweinydd, A Chyfaill byth i mi; Nid ofnaf sŵn y fwydyr Os byddi Di gerllaw, Ni chiliaf draw o'r llwybyr Os caf fi help dy law. O bydd yn agos ataf - Y byd yn agos sy; Mi welaf ac mi glywaf Ei demtasiynau lu; Mae'r gelyn byth yn agos, O'm mewn ac oddi maes; Tyrd ataf, dirion Iesu, Rho imi nerth dy ras. Llefara'n eglur wrthyf, Llefara air i'm clyw, Uwch twrf fy chwantau ynfyd, Uwch nwydau o bob rhyw; Llefara i'm cysuro, A'm nerthu yn y byd; O! gad im wrando arnat, Fy Ngheidwad, ar bob pryd. O Iesu, ti addewaist I bawb a'th ganlyn di, Y cânt fwynhau mewn gwynfyd Dy bresenoldeb fry; Addewais innau, Arglwydd, Dy ganlyn hyd y bedd; O dyro ras, fy Ngheidwas, I aros yn dy hedd. Gad imi weld y llwybrau A gerddaist yn ein byd; Fy ngobaith wrth dy ganlyn Sydd yn dy nerth bob pryd: O! galw, arwain, cynnal, Nes gorffen gyrfa'r llawr, A derbyn fi i'r nefoedd, Fy Iôr a'm Ceidwad mawr.cyf. D Ambrose Jones 1866-1951

O Jesus, I promised Faithfully to follow thee, Be thou a Guide, And Friend forever to me; I shall not fear the sound of the battle If thou shalt be at hand, I shall not retreat from the path If I shall get the help of thy hand. O be near to me - The word is near; I see and I hear Its host of temptations; The enemy is ever near, Within me and from outside; Come to me, tender Jesus, Give me the strength of thy grace. Speak cleary to me, Speak a word for my hearing, Above the tumult of my mad lusts, Above passions of every kind; Speak to comfort me, And strengthen me in the world; O let me listen to thee, My Saviour, on every occasion. O Jesus, thou didst promise To all who follow the, They may get to enjoy in blessedness Thy presence above; And I promised, Lord, To follow thee unto the grave; O give grace, my Saviour, To stay in thy peace. Let me see the paths That thou didst walk in our world; My hope while following thee Is in thy strength on every occasion: O call, lead, uphold, Until finishing the earthly course below, And receive me into heaven, My Master and my great Keeper.tr. 2022,23 Richard B Gillion |
O Jesus, I have promised To serve thee to the end; Be thou forever near me, My Master and my friend; I shall not fear the battle If thou art by my side, Nor wander from the pathway If thou wilt be my guide. O let me feel Thee near me, The world is ever near; I see the sights that dazzle, The tempting sounds I hear; My foes are ever near me, Around me and within; But, Jesus, draw Thou nearer, And shield my soul from sin. O let me hear thee speaking In accents clear and still, Above the storms of passion, The murmurs of self-will. O speak to reassure me, To hasten or control; O speak, and make me listen, Thou guardian of my soul. O Jesus, Thou hast promised To all who follow Thee That where Thou art in glory There shall Thy servant be; And, Jesus, I have promised To serve Thee to the end; O give me grace to follow, My Master and my Friend! O let me see Thy footprints, And in them plant mine own; My hope to follow duly Is in Thy strength alone. O guide me, call me, draw me, Uphold me to the end; And then in Heav'n receive me, My Saviour and my friend.1869 John Ernest Bode 1816-74
