Yng nghroes Crist y gorfoleddaf, Croes uwch difrod amser yw; Yn ei llewyrch pur y gwelaf Holl gyflawnder gras fy Nuw. Doed cystuddiau'r byd i'm gwasgu, Siom a gofid i'm dwysáu, Croes fy Arglwydd byth ni'm gedy, Deil o hyd i'm llawenhau. Pan dywynno ar fy llwybrau Lewyrch pob rhyw wynfyd sydd, Tyr o'r groes sancteiddiach golau, Mil disgleiriach yw na'r dydd. Colled, ennill, poen, llawenydd A sancteiddir ganddi hi; Rhydd i'm henaid hedd tragywydd, Hon a foddia 'nyfnaf gri. Yng nghroes Crist y gorfoleddaf, Croes uwch difrod amser yw; Yn ei llewyrch pur y gwelaf Holl gyflawnder gras fy Nuw.efel. George Rees 1873-1950

In the cross of Christ I rejoice, A cross above the ruin of time it is; In its pure radiance I see All the fulness of the grace of my God. May the afflictions of the world not squeeze me, nor Disappointment and grief press me hard, The cross of my Lord shall never leave me, It will always keep on giving me joy. When upon my paths be shining The gleam of every kind of blessedness there is, From the cross shall break a more sacred light, A thousand times more radiant it is than the day. Loss, gain, pain, joy Are sanctified by it; It gives to my soul eternal peace, This shall satisfy my deepest cry. In the cross of Christ I rejoice, A cross above the ruin of time it is; In its pure radiance I see All the fulness of the grace of my God.tr. 2021 Richard B Gillion |
In the cross of Christ I glory, Towering o'er the wrecks of time; All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head sublime. When the woes of life o'ertake me, Hopes deceive, and fears annoy, Never shall the cross forsake me, Lo! it glows with peace and joy. When the sun of bliss is beaming Light and love upon my way, From the cross the radiance streaming Adds more lustre to the day. Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure, By the cross are sanctified; Peace is there that knows no measure, Joys that through all time abide. In the cross of Christ I glory, Towering o'er the wrecks of time; All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head sublime.John Bowring 1792-1872
