Pan_yn marw, myfi At Iesu rhof gri, Am iddo fy ngharu Am beth nas gwn i. Ond hyn mi a wn, Fod rhyngom fath glwm, Ni thrig ef mewn llawnder Am gadael im' llwm.Triawd gan | Trio by Thomas B Williams 1857 [Mesur: 5565D / 10.11.10.11] |
When dying, I To Jesus shall give a cry, For his loving me What for I know not. But this I do know, That there is between us such a knot, He will not dwell in fulness And leave me poor.tr. 2015 Richard B Gillion |
O tell me no more Of this world's vain store, The time for such trifles With me now is o'er; A country I've found where true joys abound, To dwell I'm determined On that happy ground. The souls that believe In paradise live, And me in that number Will Jesus receive; My soul, don't delay; He calls thee away; Rise, follow thy Saviour, And bless the glad day. No mortal doth know What He can bestow, What light, strength, and comfort - Go after Him, go; Lo, onward I move To a city above, None guesses how wondrous My journey will prove. Great spoils I shall win From death, hell, and sin, 'Midst outward afflictions Shall feel Christ within; And when I'm to die, "Receive me," I'll cry, For Jesus hath loved me, I cannot tell why: But this I do find, We two are so joined, He'll not live in glory And leave me behind; So this is the race I'm running through grace, Henceforth, till admitted To see my Lord's face. And now I'm in care My neighbors may share These blessings: to seek them Will none of you dare? In bondage, O why, And death will you lie, When One here assures you Free grace is so nigh?John Gambold 1711-1771 Moravian Hymn Book 1742
