O Iesu cu, tosturia di, A rho i mi ddoethineb I'th ddewis di yn rhan i mi Cyn myn'd i dragwyddoldeb. Rho nerth i 'mroi drwy ffydd i droi, A ffoi rhag pob ffolineb; Can's mawr yw'r gwaith, a ber yw'r daith, A maith yw tragwyddoldeb! Ni thâl hi ddim fod lamp wych im', Heb olew, grym duwioldeb; A budd nis ca' trwy weithred dda, Heb Grist, yn nhragwyddoldeb. Cyn imi orwedd yn fy medd Rho imi wedd dy wyneb; A'th enw mawr ei foli wnaf Hyd eithaf tragwyddoldeb. - - - - - O Iesu cu, tosturia di, A rho i mi ddoethineb, I'th ddewis di yn rhan i mi, Cyn myn'd i drag'wyddoldeb.

O dear Jesus, have mercy, And give me wisdom To choose thee as my portion Before I go to eternity. Give strength to devote myself through faith to turn, And flee from all folly; Since great is the work, and short is the journey, And vast is eternity! It pays me nothing that my brilliant lamp, Be without oil, the power of godliness. And I shall get no benefit through good action, Without Christ in eternity. Before I rest in my grave Grant me to see thy face; And thy great name I shall praise To the utmost end of eternity. - - - - - O dear Jesus, have mercy, And give me wisdom, To choose thee as my portion, Before I go to eternity.

Christ is the portion of my weak soul, My shield and my wisdom, My brother and my God and my Spouse he is, He is living in eternity. I shall get to go cheerfully to Christ my Lord, And life before his face, In clear light, and pure love Before long in eternity.tr. 2021 Richard B Gillion |
