Pan wyf yma'n cael defnynnau O'r môr anfesurol fry, Fwy-fwy ydwyf yn sychedu Am y dwfwr yno sy': Daear oer a diffrwyth ydwyf Oni b'ai yr haulwen hardd, A chymhylau Duw sy'n gwlawio Yn feunyddiol ar fy ngardd. Clywais lawer son am dano, Profais ei rinweddol hedd, Gwn ei fod yn llawer cryfach Na chystuddiau angeu a'r bedd: Pren y bywyd sy'n pereiddio Dyfroedd Mara im' o'u bron, Mae fy mywyd a fy iechyd Yn yr archoll tan ei fron. Rhyfedd ydoedd, rhyfedd ydyw, Grym ei gariad at y byd! Mae rhyw foroedd o drugaredd At bechadur yntho o hyd: Rhyfedd byth i'r Cyfiawn ddioddef Dros anheilwng lwch y llawr; Am anfeidrol waed y Cymmod Caned pechaduriaid mawr. Yn fy lle fe yfodd afon O ddigofaint mawr y Tad, Gwaed ei galon brynodd fywyd Digyfnewid im' yn rhad: Haul a lleuad, ser y nefoedd, A'r gre'digaeth faith i gyd, A folianno fy Ngwaredwr, A'm gwaredodd rhag y llid. Nid neb teilwng o'r gogoniant, Fry nac yma ond efe, Mae'r holl nefoedd faith yn moli 'R Iesu laddwyd yn fy lle; Mae f'happusrwydd wedi dechreu Yn y byd o drallod trist, Ni's gwn etto beth y fyddaf, Byddaf debyg i fy Nghrist.Morgan Rhys 1716-79 Golwg o Ben Nebo, 1764.

When I am here getting drops From the immeasurable sea above, More and more I am thirsting For the water that is there: A cold and fruitless earth I am Unless the beautiful sun be, And God's clouds which are raining Daily on my garden. I heard many mentioning it, I tasted it's virtuous peace, I know it is much stronger Than the afflictions of death and the grave: 'Tis the tree of life that is sweetening The waters of Mara for me completely, My life and my health are In the wound under his breast. Wonderful was, wonderful is The strength of his love towards the world! There are some oceans of mercy Towards a sinner in it still: Wonderful forever for the Righteous to suffer For the unworthy dust of the ground; About the immeasurable blood of the Covenant Let great sinners sing. In my place he drank the river Of the great wrath of the Father, 'Twas the blood of his heart that purchased unchangeable Life for me freely: Sun and moon, stars of heaven, And all the vast creation, Let them praise my Deliverer, For my deliverance from the wrath. No-one worthy of the glory, Above nor here but he, All the vast heavens are praising Jesus who was slain in my place; My happiness has begun In the world of sad affliction, I do not yet know what I shall be, I shall be like my Christ.tr. 2018 Richard B Gillion |
