Arnat, Iesu, boed fy meddwl, Am dy gariad boed fy nghân; Dyged sŵn dy dioddefiadau Fy serchiadau oll yn lân: Mae dy gariad Uwch a glywodd neb erioed. Os agori di fy llygaid, I gael gwel'd y cariad llawn, Lifodd allan fel y moroedd, Ar Galfaria un prydnawn, Ti gei'r cwbl, Roddaist i mi yn fy rhan. Mi ddisgwyliaf doed a ddelo, Deued bore, deued nos, Deued corwynt a themhestloedd, Nes cael profi gwaed y groes, Gallu'r nefoedd, Tyr'd i wared, dyma'r awr. O na chawn ddifyrru 'nyddiau Llwythog, dan dy ddwyfol groes, A phob meddwl wedi ei glymu Wrth dy Berson ddydd a nos; Byw bob munud Mewn tangnefedd pur a hedd. Mae rhyw hiraeth ar fy nghalon Am gael ffoi o dwrf y byd A gweld dyddiau colla'i 'ngolwg Ar bob tegan ynddo 'nghyd: Cael ymborthi Fyth ar sylwedd pur y nef. Iesu'n ffrind, a Iesu'n briod, Iesu'n gariad uwch pob rhaid; Fe yn broffwyd i fy nysgu, Fe yn 'Ffeiriad 'faddau 'mai: Tan ei gysgod, Mi goncweriwn feiau heb rif. Os Efe saif o fy ochor, 'Ofna' i mo 'ngelynion ddim, Er eu cynddeiriogwrydd creulon, Er eu dyfais, er eu grym: Trech yn hollol Ydyw concwest Calfari.William Williams 1717-91

Upon thee, Jesus, be my thoughts, About thy love be my song; May the sound of thy sufferings lead All my affections completely: Thy love is Higher than anyone ever heard. If thou open my eyes, To get to see the full love, That flowed out like the seas, On Calvary one afternoon, Thou shalt get the whole, Thou gavest to me as my portion. I am waiting come what may, Come morning, come night, Come hurricane and tempests, Until getting to experience the blood of the cross, The power of heaven, Come to deliver, this is the hour. O that I may enjoy my burdened Days, beneath thy divine cross, And every thought tied To thy Person day and night; Living every minute In pure tranquility and peace. My heart has a certain longing To get to flee from the world's din And see days I will lose my sight Of every plaything altogether: To get to feed Forever on the pure substance of heaven. Jesus as friend, and Jesus as spouse, Jesus as love above every need; He as prophet teaching me, He as Priest forgiving my fault: Under his shadow, I would conquer faults without number. If he stands on my side, I shall fear no enemies at all, Despite their cruel wrath, Despite their scheme, despite their force: Wholly mightier Is the conquest of Calvary.tr. 2009 Richard B Gillion |
Jesus, may I think upon thee, Let my song be of thy love; And the story of thy passion Turn my thoughts to realms above. Ear has never Heard of greater love than thine. O, that I, so worn and weary, 'Neath thy cross my load might lay, All my thoughts be concentrated On thy Person, night and day, Ever resting In tranquility and peace. How my heart to fly is yearning From the bustling world of noise, And forever leave behind me All its worthless, foolish toys, Ever feasting On the vision pure of heaven.tr.
