Trwy wybod yr Ysgrythyr lân, Ca'dd miloedd yn eu genau gân; Hen air y llw yw enw hon, A gair a'n deil pan guro'r don. Y lân Ysgrythyr, llythyr llawn, At ddyn yw hi'n cyhoeddi Iawn; A ffordd agored i rai gwael I ras a hedd trwy Iesu hael. Ysgrythyr lân, O! gyfran gu, Tydi wyt fron y nefoedd fry; Os sugnwn dy ysbrydol laeth, Fe dry'n achubol fywiol faeth.Peter Jones (Pedr Fardd) 1775-1845 Tôn [MH 8888]: Melcombe (Samuel Webbe 1740-1816) |
Through knowing the holy Scripture, Thousands got in their mouths a song; The old word of the oath is this name, And a word which will hold us when the wave strikes. The holy Scripture, a full letter, To man it is announcing a Ransom; And a way opened for poor ones To grace and peace through generous Jesus. Holy Scripture, O dear share, Thou art the breast of heaven above; If we suck thy spiritual milk, It turns into saving, lively nourishment.tr. 2017 Richard B Gillion |
