Trafaelwyr ŷm i'r Ganaan glyd, Llesg bererinion yn y byd; Ni glywsom lais yn gwawdd i'r nef, I gael teyrnasu gydag ef. Yno mae'n Iesu ni a'n Tad, A'n brodyr gwiw bwrcasodd gwaed. Mae'n henwau newydd yno oll Ar fynwes Crist, nid awn ar goll. Mae yno fôr o waed yr O'n Yn llwyr amgylchu gorsedd Ion; Mae cariad o llawenydd pur, Yno fel afon grisial glir. Pa beth all mwyach ddwyn ein bryd, Na'n denu i aros yn y byd? Ein hiraeth ni a'n syched yw Cael myn'd i'r lan at deulu Duw. Ar wagedd brau pa'm rho'wn ein bryd? Sy'n erchyll dwyllo plant y byd: Dilynwn ôl y praidd yn dynn, Nes dringo fry i Seion fryn. 'Rhyd anial ffordd ni awn yn mla'n O'r dywyll Aipht i'r Ganaan lân: Er rhwystrau mawr cawn fyn'd yn wir Ar fyr feddiannu'r hyfryd dir. Gwnawd ffordd i'r nef gan Iesu cu 'Nawr gwel'd yr 'ym ein cartre' fry; A'r anwyl Oen, a'i ddwylo'n waed, Yn dangos lle yw nhŷ ein Tâd. Yn mhlith y gwych fendigaid lu, Fu'n ymladd a gelynion hy Aeth etto 'mlaen, er gwaetha llîd, Yn moli 'nawr mewn nefol fyd. Yn gorphwys fry heb friw na phoen, Ar feingciau oddeutu maingc yr Oen; Mae llwybrau rhai'n i wel'd o hyd Nes d'od o fewn i'r nefol fyd. Ymdrechu wnawn, trwy nerth ein Duw, Nes cael y wisg a'r goron wiw, O law'n gelynion fyn'd yn rhydd, A chael yr uchel gamp a'r dydd. Rhedwn ar frys, mawr yw y fraint, Y nef yw diwedd gyrfa'r saint; Er maint yw'r llid, par'tow'd ein lle Yn mynwes Naf o fewn i'r ne'.William Williams 1717-91 Aleluia 1749

Travellers we are to the cosy Canaan, Feeble pilgrims in the world; We heard a voice inviting to heaven, To get to reign with him. There is our Jesus and our Father, And our worthy brothers his blood purchased. All our new names are there On the bosom of Christ, we shall not go astray. There is a sea of the blood of the Lamb Completely surrounding the Lord's throne; There is a sea of pure joy There like a crystal clear river. What can take our attention any longer, Or attract us to stay in the world? Our longing and our thirst is To get to go up to God's family. To fragile emptiness why would we give our attention? Which horribly deceives the world's children: Let us follow the tracks of the flock closely, Until climbing up to Zion hill. Along the desert road let us go forward From dark Egypt to the holy Canaan: Despite great frustrations we may go truly Shortly to possess the delightful land. A way was made to heaven by dear Jesus Now seeing we are our home above; And the beloved Lamb, with his hands as blood, Showing where our Father's house is. Amongst the brilliant blessed host, Who fought with a proud enemy Who still went forward, despite wrath, Praising now in a heavenly world. Resting above without bruise or pain, On benches around the Lamb's throne; Their paths are still to be seen Leading into the heavenly world. Let us make a effort, through our God's strength, Until getting to wear the worthy crown, From the hand of our enemies going free, And winning the high prize and the day. Let us run hurriedly, great is the privilege, Heaven is the end of the saints' course; Despite how great is the wrath, prepared is our place In the Master's bosom within heaven.tr. 2018 Richard B Gillion |
