O Dad trugarog dysg i mi

O! Dad trugarog, dysg i mi
  Dy wasanaethu'n llon,
Yn blentyn didwyll gad im fod, -
  Fy ngalon, cymer hon.

O! dyro imi nerth a gras
  I fyw yn llwyr i Ti, -
I fyw fel Iesu Grist pan oedd
  Yn blentyn bach fel fi.
John Roberts 1852-1934

Tôn [CM 8686]:
Byw fel Iesu (John Roberts 1852-1934)

O merciful Father, teach me
  To serve thee cheerfully,
A sincere child let me be, -
  My heart, take this.

O grant me strength and grace
  To live completely to Thee, -
To live like Jesus Christ when he was
  A little child like me.
tr. 2009 Richard B Gillion
