Pererin wyf sydd ar fy nhaith, Yn myn'd tua thragwyddoldeb maith: Dieithr ddyn wyf ar y ddae'r, Am nefol dŷ mae'm llef yn daer. Mae im elynion o bob math, A'u bryd i gyd yw'm dwyn yn gaeth, A pheri im gyfeiliorni'n brudd, A gwneyd llongddrylliad am fy ffydd. Na lawenhewch, annuwiol haid, Caf nerth yn rhwydd fel byddo rhaid: I Salem dof, trwy'r tân a'r dwr, Can's Iesu da yw f'unig Dwr. Gan f'Arglwydd cu cynnorthwy caf, A thrwy ei nerth gorchfygu wnaf; Fy nghas elynion gwn, i gyd, Caf wel'd eu lladd, er maint eu llid.Daniel Rowland 1713-1790
Tônau [MH 8888]: |
I am a pilgrim who is on my journey, Going towards a vast eternity: I stranger I am on the earth, For a heavenly house my cry is intense. I have enemies of every kind, And all their intent is to take me captive, And cause me to wander sadly, And make a shipwreck of my faith. Do not rejoice, ungodly horde, I shall get strength freely when there is need: To Salem I shall come, through the fire and the water, Since good Jesus is my only Tower. From my dear Lord support I shall get, And through his strength overcome I shall; All my detestable enemies, I know, Shall see themselves slain, despite the extent of their wrath.tr. 2017 Richard B Gillion |
