O fryniau rhew'r Gogledd-dir, O draeth yr India fawr; Lle treigla ffrydiau'r Affrig Eu tywod aur i lawr; O lannau hen afonydd, O barthau'r palmwydd ir, Ein galw maent i'w gwared O'u caeth gyfeiliorn hir. A allwn ni, a freiniwyd  golau oddi fry, Warafun llusern bywyd I rhai mewn hirnos ddu? Cyhoeddir "Iechedwriaeth," Bêr sain, dros ddaear lawr, Nes dysgu o'i chyrrau eithaf Enw'r Meseia mawr. Ewch, wyntoedd, ewch â'i hanes, Chwi ddyfroedd, cludwch hwn, Nes llifo o'i ogoniant Fel môr, drwy'r byd yn grwn; A'r Oen, dros fyd a brynwyd Drwy ddioddef marwol glwy', Yn Geidwad ac yn Frenin, Mewn bri deyrnasa mwy.cyf. John Morris-Jones 1864-1929
Tôn [7676D]: Heber / Missionary Hymn |
From the hills of the Northern-land ice, From the beach of great India; Where the streams of Africa trundle Their golden sand down; From banks of old rivers, From regions of the fresh palm trees, Calling us they are to deliver them From their long, captive wandering. And can we, who are privileged With light from above, Deny the lantern of life To those in a long, black night? "Salvation" is to be published, A sweet sound, across the earth below, Until from its extreme corners they learn The name of the great Messiah. Go, ye winds, take the story, Ye waters, convey it, Until it flow from his glory, Like a sea, through the world roundly; And the Lamb, over the world he redeemed Through suffering a mortal wound, As Saviour and as King, In honour shall reign evermore.tr. 2018 Richard B Gillion |
From Greenland's icy mountains, From India's coral strand; Where Afric's sunny fountains Roll down their golden sand: From many an ancient river, From many a palmy plain, They call us to deliver Their land from error's chain. Shall we, whose souls are lighted With wisdom from on high, Shall we to those benighted The lamp of life deny? Salvation! O salvation! The joyful sound proclaim, Till earth's remotest nation Has learned Messiah's name. Waft, waft, ye winds, His story, And you, ye waters, roll Till, like a sea of glory, It spreads from pole to pole: Till o'er our ransomed nature The Lamb for sinners slain, Redeemer, king, creator, In bliss returns to reign.1819 Reginald Heber 1783-1826
