Parod yw Duw i faddeu'r bai

(Parodrwydd Duw i faddeu)
Parod yw Duw i faddeu'r bai,
  Sydd yn ei rai anwyla';
Fel ffyddlon Frawd, neu dirion Dad,
  Yn wastad fe a'u cara.

Cânt gerydd
    am eu bai ar g'oedd,
  Cânt yfed
      dyfroedd Mara;
Cystudaiau newydd ddaw bob cam
  I'w cwrddyd am y cynta'.

Ond gyda'i gerydd
    dyry hedd,
  Trugaredd a thiriondeb;
A'i ras i'w blant i gyd
    barhâ
  I eitha' trag'wyddoldeb.

(Tosturi grasol, a Maddeugarwch Duw.)
Parod yw Duw i faddeu'r bai,
  Sydd yn ei rai anwyla';
Fel ffyddlon ffrind, neu dirion Dad,
  Yn wastad fe a'u cara.

Canfod y mae ef yn mhob man,
  Ein bai a'n hannoethineb;
Ei feibion y'm, ei ras barhâ,
  I eitha tragwyddoldeb.

Mae ynddo ddwfwn fôr di drai
  O gariad a thosturi;
Mae wrth ei fodd yn trugarhau,
  Er maint yw ein trueni.

[Mesur: MS 8787]

(God's readiness to forgive)
Ready is God to forgive the fault,
  Which is in his most beloved;
Like a faithful Brother, or tender Father,
  Constantly he will love them.

They will get chastisement
    for their fault publicly,
  They will get to drink
      the waters of Marah;
New afflictions shall come every step
  To meet them at first.

But with his chastisement
    he will grant peace,
  Mercy and tenderness;
And his grace to all his children
    shall endure
  To the extremity of eternity.

(The gracious Mercy, and Forgiving nature of God.)
Ready is God to forgive the fault,
  Which is in his most beloved;
Like a faithful friend, or tender Father,
  Constantly he will love them.

He discerns in every place,
  Our fault and our lack of wisdom;
His sons we are, his grace will endure,
  To the extremity of eternity.

In him is a deep, unebbing sea
  Of love and mercy;
He delights in showing mercy,
  Despite how great is our wretchedness.
