1,2,3,4,5,6,(7,8,9,10,11),12. O cydnabydded dynol-ryw! Fod arnom ddyled fawr i Dduw; Mae pob rhyw ddoniau, îs y nef, Yn deilliaw o'i drugaredd ef. Er bod ei rad haelioni'n fawr, I holl gre'duriaid daear lawr, Fe roes i ddyn fyrdd myrddiwn mwy O roddion teg na'r eiddynt hwy. Ni ffurfiodd ef greadur byw, Yn ol ei ddelw, anwyl Dduw, Ond dyn yn unig, tan y nef, I debygoli iddo ef. Ar ol diweddu dirfawr waith, Ar dir, - a llu y dyfnder llaith; Gosdodd ddyn fel unig ben, Ar bob rhyw nifer îs y nen. Addurnodd y Creawdwr ef, O'u dyner nawdd â doniau'r nef, I draethu glân fynegawl glod I'w nefol annherfynol fod. Am hyny dylai dyn o hyd, Fod megys genau tros y mud; Cre'duriaid gwael iselaidd ryw, A'u nefol dôn i foli Duw. O cydnabyddwn tra fo'm byw, Fod arnom ddyled fawr i Dduw; Mae pob rhyw ddoniau, îs y nef, Yn deilliaw o'i drugaredd ef. Er bod ei rad ddaioni'n fawr, I holl gre'duriaid gwaella'r llawr, Fe roes i ddyn fyrdd myrddiwn mwy O roddion teg nag iddynt hwy. Am hyny dylem bob rhyw awr Was'naethu'n llon ein Crëwr mawr, A moli gyda'r nefol lu, Ar beraidd gân, ei enw cu.Robert Williams (Robert ap Gwilym Ddu) 1766-1850 Tôn [MH 8888]: Hereford (S S Wesley 1810-76) gwelir: Ni ffurfiodd Ior greadur byw |
Oh, may human-kind acknowledge That upon us is a great duty to God! Every kind of gift, under heaven, is Springing from his mercy. Although his gracious generosity is great, To all the creatures of earth below, He gave to man a myriad myriad more Of fair gifts than they possess. He did not form a living creature, After his image, dear God, But man alone, under heaven, To resemble him. After finishing an enormous work, On land, - and the host of the watery depth; He placed man as an only head, Over every kind of number under heaven. The Creator adorned him, Of his tender protection, with the gifts of heaven, To expound holy, eloqent acclaim To the heavenly, infinite being. Therefore should man always, Be like a mouth on behalf of the mute Creatures of a base, lowly kind, And their heavenly tune to praise God. O let us acknowledge while ever we live, That there is upon us a great duty to God; Every kind of gift, under heaven, is Issuing from his mercy. Although his great, free goodness is To all the most base creatures of earth, He gave to man a myriad myriad more Of fair gifts than to them. Therefore we must every hour Serve cheerfully our great Creator, And praise with the heavenly host, With a sweet song, his dear name.tr. 2015 Richard B Gillion |
