O ddyfnderoedd O ddoethineb

(Dyfnderoedd a doethineb grās - Rhan II)
1,2;  1,3.
O ddyfnderoedd! O ddoethineb!
  O ddyfnderoedd maith o ras!
O ddyfnderoedd anchwiliadwy,
  Fythol uwch eu chwilio maes!
Mae seraphiaid nef yn edrych,
  Gyda syndod bob yr un,
Ar ddyfnderoedd cariad dwyfol -
  Duw yn marw tros y dyn!

O anfeidrol berffaith gariad!
  Cariad nas gall gras na ddawn,
Dynion, na'r angylion penaf,
  Fyth ei adrodd ef yn llawn.
Cariad fydd yn sylfaen gadarn
  I bob anthem yn y nef;
Seintiau ac angylion draphlith
  Ganant am ei gariad Ef.

Fyth i'r Tad y bo'r gogoniant,
  Ro'i a derbyn y fath rodd;
Fyth i'r Mab y bo'r un moliant,
  Ddisgyn yma i lawr o'i fodd:
Fyth i'r Ysbryd b'o'r anrhydedd,
  Am ddatguddio'r ddyfais rād,
Ac am selio a rho'i ernes
  Fod Eiriolwr
      gyda'm Tād.
William Williams 1717-91

gwelir:
  Rhan I - Nid oes angel nid oes seraph
  Dyma gariad fel a moroedd
  Fe ro'w'd arno bwys euogrwydd
  Iesu ei hunan yw fy mywyd
  O anfeidrol berffaith gariad

(The depths and wisdom of grace - Part 2)
 
O depths! O wisdom!
  O vast depths of grace!
O unsearchable depths,
  Forever above searching out!
The seraphim of heaven are looking,
  With surprise every one,
At the depths of divine love -
  God dying for the man!

Oh, immeasurable, perfect love!
  Love which no talent or grace of
Men, or the chief angels, could
  Ever completely record;
Love which will be a firm foundation,
  For every anthem in heaven,
Saints and Angels alike,
  Sing about his love.

Forever to the Father be the glory,
  Give thou who receivest such a give;
Forever to the Son be the praise,
  Who descended here voluntarily:
Forever to the Spirit be the honour,
  For revealing the gracious purpose,
And for sealing and giving an earnest
  That there is an Intercessor
      with my Father.
tr. 2017 Richard B Gillion
