Os cynddaredd y storm i'th gyfarfod a ddaw, Os bydd nerthoedd y môr yn dy lanw a braw, Nes diflana yn llwyr bob rhyw obaith am fyw, Edrych fry, edrych fry, edrych fry, edrych fry, Edrych fry, edrych fry, trwy'r ystormydd at Dduw, Edrych fry, edrych fry, trwy'r ystormydd at Dduw. Os afradlon wyt ti, wedi gadael dy dad, Ac os crwydraist mor bell i dir newyn a brad, Nes diflanodd yn llwyr bob rhyw obaith am fyw, Edrych fry, edrych fry, edrych fry, edrych fry, Edrych fry, edrych fry, trwy dy ddagrau at Dduw, Edrych fry, edrych fry, trwy dy ddagrau at Dduw. Pan ddaw'r amser i ben i ti ymadael â'r byd, A'r Iorddonen a'r sŵn yn dy daro yn fud, Os bydd rhuad y don yn byddaru dy glyw, Edrych fry, edrych fry, edrych fry, edrych fry, Edrych fry, edrych fry heibio'i angau at Dduw. Edrych fry, edrych fry, heibio'i angau at Dduw.efel. James Spinther James (Spinther) 1837-1914 Côr y Plant 1875 |
If the wrath of the storm should come to meet thee, If the strengths of the sea should fill thee with terror, Until every kind of hope for living fails, Look above, look above, look above, look above. Look above, look above, through the storms to God, Look above, look above, through the storms to God. If prodigal thou art, having left thy father, And if thou hast wandered so far to the land of starvation and treachery, Until every kind of hope for living fails, Look above, look above, look above, look above. Look above, look above, through thy tears to God, Look above, look above, through thy tears to God. When the time is fulfilled for thee to leave the world, And the Jordan and the sound striking thee mute, If the roar of the wave deafening thy hearing, Look above, look above, look above, look above. Look above, look above, beyond death to God, Look above, look above, beyond death to God.tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion |
In the tempest of life, when the wind and the gale Are around and above, if thy footing should fail, If thine eye should grow dim, and thy caution depart, Look aloft, look aloft, look aloft, look aloft, Look aloft, and be firm, and confiding of heart, Look aloft, and be firm, and confiding of heart. Should the visions which hope spread in light to thine eye, Like the tints of the rainbow be swifter to fly, Then turn, and through tears of repentant regret, Look aloft, look aloft, look aloft, look aloft, Look aloft, to the sun, that is never to set, Look aloft, to the sun, that is never to set. And oh! when death comes, in his terrors to cast His fears on the future, his pall on the past, In the moment of darkness, with hope in thy heart, Look aloft, look aloft, look aloft, look aloft, And a smile in thine eye, look aloft and depart, And a smile in thine eye, look aloft and depart.Jonathan Lawrence 1807-33
