Trech yw cariad nag afonydd, Creulonach yn ei rwysg na'r bedd; Fflam angerddol o'r uchelder, Cariad y cyfammod hedd: Anorchfygol, Yw ei gariad dwyfol ef. Cariad Tad a welai'n rhoddi, Cariad Meichai welai'n un, 'N ymaflyd yn y gwpan chwerw, A'i hyfed tros y marwol ddyn: F'enaid cofia, Cān a diolch byth am hyn. Llamu wnaeth dros bob mynyddoedd, Neidiodd tros y bryniau'n un; Nid oedd dyfroedd all'sai oeri, Ei gariad at y marwol ddyn: O anfeidrol, Rās ei gariad dwyfol ef.Richard Jones ?1771-1833 [Mesur: 878747] |
Mightier is love than rivers, More cruel in its power than the grave; An undying flame from the height, The love of the covenant of peace: Insuperable, Is his divine love. The love of a Father I see giving, The love of a Surety I see the same, Throwing itself into a bitter cup, And drinking it for the mortal man: My soul, remember, Sing with thanks forever for this! Leap it did across all mountains, Jumped across the hills the same; There were no waters that could chill, His love towards mortal man: O immeasurable, Grace of his divine love!tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion |
