O na allwn garu'r Iesu Yn fwy ffyddlon, a'i wasnaethu; Dweud yn dda mewn gair amdano, Rhoi fy hun yn gwbwl iddo.Richard Thomas bl.1821 Anthem y Saint (Cas. Evan Dafydd) 1807
Tonau [88.88]: gwelir: Nid yw heirdd wrthrychau daear |
O that I could love Jesus More faithfully, and to serve; Speak well in a word about him, To give myself in total to him.tr. 2007 Richard B Gillion |
O that I could love my Jesus With more faith, more gladly serve; Be a ready witness for him, Yield myself without reserve.tr. 2007 Richard B Gillion
Tunes [8787]: The original metre (88.88. Trochaic) is rare and with the rhyming of unstressed syllables would yield a translation such as: O that I could love my Jesus, Trust and serve him being joyous: Show my love and gladly speak it, My whole heart be with his life lit.tr. 2007 Richard B Gillion |
