Pan syllaf ar y ryfedd groes Lle trengodd hardd Dywysog Hedd Rwy'n cyfri'n ddim holl gyfoeth oes, A cholled yw pob bydol wledd. Na foed i mi ymffrostio'n awr Heb law yn angeu Crist Ei hun: Y pethau pennaf fedd y llawr, Aberthaf hwynt i'w ddwyfol rîn.cyf. David Thomas (Dafydd Ddu o Eryri) 1759-1822 Tôn [MH 8888]: St Crispin (George J Elvey 1816-93) |
When I star at the wonderful cross Where the beautiful Prince of Peace died I am counting as nothing all the wealth of an age, And loss is every earthly feast. May I not boast now Except in the death of Christ himself: The chief things the earth possesses, I sacrifice them to his divine merit.tr. 2020 Richard B Gillion |
When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ my God! All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood.Isaac Watts 1674-1748 Hymns and Spiritual Songs 1707
