Tragwyddol Yspryd, adde'r y'm, Clodfori, a chanmol nerth dy ras; Yn rhoi bendithion mawr eu grym, O'r Tad a'r Mab yn tarddu ma's; Mae'r Tri yn Un ar Un yn Dri, Ynghwaith ein hiachawdwriaeth ni. Goleuo trwy dy nefol rin, Troi'n t'wyllwch caeth yn oleu ddydd; Dysgu a dangos 'rwyt i ni Ein perig' mawr a'n ffô trwy ffydd: Dy nerth a'th glôd yn gweithio'n glau, Dryllio cadwyn pechod câs; Darostwng chwantau a marwhau, A'n creu yn newydd trwy dy ras: Fe adwaen y gydwybod glâ' Sy'n teimlo archolledig friw, Dy orfoleddus lais yn dda, Sy'n gwneud yr enaid marw'n fyw:cyf.

Eternal Spirit, we confess, To extol, and praise the strength of thy grace; Giving the blessings of great force, From the Father, and the Son issuing out; The Three in One and the One in Three are In the work of our salvation. Enlighten through thy heavenly merit, Turn our captive darkness into light of day; Teaching and showing thou art to us Our great danger and us to flee through faith: Thy strength and thy praise working truly, Smash the chains of detestable sin; Subdue lusts and mortify, And create us anew through thy grace: The clean conscience that feels Wounded, bruised, recognizes Thy jubilant voice well, Which makes the dead soul alive:tr. 2018 Richard B Gillion |
Eternal Spirit! we confess And sing the wonders of Thy grace Thy power conveys our blessings down From God the Father and the Son. Enlightened by Thine heav'nly ray, Our shades and darkness turn to day; Thine inward teachings make us know Our danger and our refuge too. Thy power and glory work within, And break the chains of reigning sin; Do our imperious lusts subdue, And form our wretched hearts anew. The troubled conscience knows Thy voice, Thy cheering words awake our joys; Thy words allay the stormy wind, And calm the surges of the mind.Isaac Watts 1674-1748 Hymns and Spiritual Songs, Book II, 1709.
