Wel bellach mi gredaf er nad wyf ond gwan

(Ymdrech a Phechod)
Wel, bellach mi gredaf,
    er nad wyf ond gwan,
Edrychaf o ddyfnder
    y ddaear i'r lan!
  Agorwyd o'r diwedd
      ffordd newydd a byw,
  O ganol tywyllwch
      at orsedd fy Nuw.

Boed nerth a gogoniant,
    boed mawredd a chlod
I'r Hwn sydd yr awrhon,
    a'r Hwn sydd erioed,
  I'r Alpha a'r Omega,
      i'r Drindod ynghyd,
  I'r Oen a fu farw
      dros bechod y byd.
William Williams 1717-91

  Mae enw f'Anwylyd mor anwyl mor fawr
  Y clod y gogoniant y gallu o bob rhyw

(Struggling with Sin)
See, now I belief,
    although I am only weak,
I look from the depths
    of the earth upwards!
  Opened at last
      is a new and living way,
  From the middle of darkness
      to the throne of my God.

Be strength and glory,
    be majesty and praise
To Him who is now,
    and Him who always was,
  To the Alpha and the Omega,
      to the Trinity together,
  To the Lamb who died
      for the sin of the world.
tr. 2017 Richard B Gillion
