Pam, eneidiau, 'r ymwasgerwch Megis gyrr o ddefaid briw? Ffôl galonnau, pam y crwydrwch Oddi wrth ryfedd gariad Duw? Mae ehangder yn nhrugaredd Duw, fel mawr ehander môr; Mae tiriondeb gwell na rhyddid Yng nghyfiawnder pur yr Iôr. Nid oes unrhyw fan y teimlir Ein gofidiau fel y nef, Na'r un fan y caiff ein gwendid Dyner farn fel ganddo Ef. Y mae cariad Duw yn lletach Na mesurau meddwl dyn, Ac mae calon Iôr tragwyddol Yn dirionach fyrdd nag un. Mae digonol iachawdwriaeth Yn yr Hwn fu ar y pren, A gorfoledd i'r aelodau Oll, yn nwys ofidiau'r Pen.cyf. John Jenkins (Gwili) 1872-1936
Tôn [8787]: |
Why, souls, do ye scatter Like a herd of wounded sheep? Foolish hearts, why do ye wander Away from the wonderful love of God? There is a breadth in the mercy Of God, like the sea's great breadth; There is a tenderness better than freedom In the Lord's pure righteousness. There is no place where our griefs Are felt like heaven, Nor anywhere our weakness may get Judged tenderly like by Him. The love of God is broader Than the measures of a human mind, And the heart of the eternal Lord is A myriad times more tender than any. There is sufficient salvation In Him who was on the tree, And joy for all the Members, in the Head's intense griefs.tr. 2018 Richard B Gillion |
Souls of men, why will ye scatter Like a crowd of frightened sheep? Foolish hearts, why will ye wander From a love so true and deep? There's a wideness in God's mercy, Like the wideness of the sea; There's a kindness in His justice, Which is more than liberty. Was there ever kinder shepherd Half so gentle, half so sweet, As the Saviour who would have us Come and gather round His feet? For the love of God is broader Than the measure of man's mind. And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the Head.Frederick W Faber 1814-63
