Pererin wyf heb le, Blinedig ar fy nhaith, Hiraethu 'rwyf am dre', Yn nhragwyddoldeb maith: O ddedwydd le! pa bryd do'i fyw, Byth at fy Nuw o fewn i'r ne'? Am ddiangc 'rwyf o'r byd, I blith y nefol gôr, Lle mae fy nhrysor drud, I mi i'w gael yn stôr: O ddedwydd le! pa bryd do'i fyw, Byth at fy Nuw o fewn i'r ne'? Rhyfela 'rwyf îs nen, Â mawr elynion lu, 'Does un yn Seion wen I guro ar f'enaid cu: O ddedwydd le! pa bryd do'i fyw, Byth at fy Nuw o fewn i'r ne'? Merthyron aeth ymlaen Yn llu i ben eu taith, Heb ofni dw'r na thân, Nes gorphen ar eu gwaith: O ddedwydd le! pa bryd do'i fyw, Byth at fy Nuw o fewn i'r ne'? Wrth feddwl am y llu, Sy'n moli'r Iesu glân, Fy enaid inau sy' Yn llawn o'r nefol dân: O ddedwydd le! pa bryd do'i fyw, Byth at fy Nuw o fewn i'r ne'? Fy ngartref yno sy', A'm dedwydd orsedd wen, Mae ngwisgoedd gwerthfawr fry, Mewn llys o fewn i'r llen: O ddedwydd le! pa bryd do'i fyw, Byth at fy Nuw o fewn i'r ne'? Yn Ngosen 'r wyf fi'n byw, (Mewn anial wlad yn wir) Gan hiraeth 'r wyf yn friw, Am wel'd fy Nghanaan dir: O ddedwydd le! pa bryd do'i fyw, Byth at fy Nuw o fewn i'r ne'? 'Does gofid yno'n bod, Na galar byth na phoen, Ond gwlad yn llawn o glod, I'r nefol anwyl Oen: O ddedwydd le! pa bryd do'i fyw, Byth at fy Nuw o fewn i'r ne'? Fe ffŷ pob pechod ffwrdd, Pan neidiwy' i dŷ fy Nhad, A Satan byth ni'm cwrdd, O fewn Caersalem wlad: O ddedwydd le! pa bryd do'i fyw, Byth at fy Nuw o fewn i'r ne'?William Williams 1717-91 Aleluia 1749 Tôn [666688]: Grove (<1811) |
A pilgrim am I without a place, Exhausted on my journey, Longing I am for a town, In a vast eternity: O happy place! when shall I come to live Forever to my God within heaven? Wanting to escape I am from the world, Amongst the the heavenly choir, Where my precious treasure is, In store for me to get it: O happy place! when shall I come to live Forever to my God within heaven? Battling I am below the sky, With a great host of enemies, In bright Zion there is none To beat upon my dear soul: O happy place! when shall I come to live Forever to my God within heaven? Martyrs went before As a host to their journey's end, Without fearing water or fire, Until finishing their work: O happy place! when shall I come to live Forever to my God within heaven? While thinking about the host, Who are praising holy Jesus, My soul too is Full of the heavenly fire: O happy place! when shall I come to live Forever to my God within heaven? My home is there, And my happy, white throne, There are valuable garments above, In a court within the curtain: O happy place! when shall I come to live Forever to my God within heaven? In Goshen I am living, (In a desert land truly) While longing I am sorely) To see my Canaan land: O happy place! when shall I come to live Forever to my God within heaven? There is no grief there, Nor ever any mourning or pain, But a land full of praise, To the heavenl, beloved Lamb: O happy place! when shall I come to live Forever to my God within heaven? Every sin shall flee away, When I leap to my Father's house, And Satan shall never meet me, Within the land of Jerusalem: O happy place! when shall I come to live Forever to my God within heaven?tr. 2017 Richard B Gillion |
