O! ryfedd nerth y cadarn Iôr, Plyg anian ger ei fron; Ei air yw deddf yr eang fôr, A'i amnaid ddofa'r dòn. Wrth sŵn ei draed mynyddoedd ffŷ, Y bryniau gryma'u pen; Gan ryfedd rym ei gorwynt cry' Y sigla seiliau'r nen. Ymbwysa, f'enaid, ar ei nerth, Yn mhob rhyw 'storm a ddaw; Fe'th arwain dros y rhiwiau serth I Salem yn ei law. 'storm a ddaw :: storom ddaw cyf. Joseph Harris (Gomer) 1773-1825
Tonau [MC 8686]: |
O wonderful strength of the steadfast Lord, Bow, nature, before him; His word is the law of the wide sea, And his nod tames the wave. At the sound of his feet mountains flee, The hills bow their head; While the wonderful force of his strong hurricane Shakes the foundations of the sky. Lean, my soul, on his strength, In every kind of storm that may come; He leads thee across the steep hills To Salem in his hand. :: tr. 2010 Richard B Gillion |
Eternal Power, Almighty God, Who can approach thy throne? Unfading light is thine abode, To mortal man unknown. Before the radiance of thine eye, The heavens no longer shine; And all the glories of the sky Are but the shade of thine. Great God, and wilt thou condescend To cast a look below? To this vile world thy notice bend, - These seats of sin and woe? How strange, how wondrous, is thy love! With trembling we adore: Not all th'exalted minds above, Its wonders can explore. While golden harps and angel tongues Resound immortal lays, Great God, permit our humble songs To celebrate thy praise. |
