Yr Enwau gwycha o Glod, A glywyd mewn un iaith, Gan Ddynol-ryw erio'd; Neu, 'mhlith Angylion 'chwaith; Maent yn rhy wael I ddodi ma's Fawrhydi a Gras Fy Mhrynwr hael. O Pa 'Madroddion mwyn, Pa ostyngeiddrwydd Gwas, Mae Mrhynwr yn ei ddwyn I ddysgu ei nefol Ras! 'Rwy'n llawenhau Wrth wel'd yn rhodd Y Ffyrdd a'r Modd Fy ngharu mae. 3 Mewn Gwisg o Gnawd, heb gel, Fel Angel saif gerllaw, A'r Addewidion ddeil, A Phardwn yn ei Law: Oddi wrth y Tad Ei anfon ca's I draethu'i Ras I Ddynol-ryw Gwir Brophwyd mawr fy Nâf, Mi'th folaf, canys ti Ddaeth â'r Newyddion da O'n Iachawdwriaeth ni; Newyddion gwiw O Bardwn rhad O Hedd â'r Tad, I Ddynol-ryw. Cynghorwr i mi bydd, Patrwn a Th'wysog mwyn; Trwy'r holl Anialwch fydd I'm ledio 'mlaen a'm dwyn, O nad i mi Oddi wrthit ffoi, Neu i draws Ffyrdd droi O'th Lwybrau di. 'Rwy'i'n caru Mugail da, Fy ngwilio mae o'r Nef, Fy nghadw'n ddiogel caf Ymhlith ei Ddefaid ef: Fe bortha'i Braidd, A dwg ei Wyn I'w Fynwes fwyn, Er gwaetha'r Blaidd. Rho'i f'Achos, heb naccau, I Law fy Meichiau mad; Mae'n atteb a chwplau Drylliedig Ddeddfau'i Dad. Wele fi'n rhydd O'm Dyled mawr! Eu talu lawr Wnaeth fy Meichnydd. Fy Archoffeiriad mawr, Offrymei'i Waed yn ffri; Un Aberth hebddo 'nawr, Ni chais fy Enaid i. Ei werthfawr Wa'd Roes Iawn un pryd, Mae'n dadleu o hyd Ger bron y Tad. Dadleuwr im' yw Crist, Ymddengys trosof fry; A'r Tad ogwydda'i Glust, A'i Daran heibio try: Nid Uffern gref Er allo'i wneud, A Phechod ddweud Dry'i Galon ef. Fy Ior a'm Congc'rwr mawr, A'm Brerin clodfawr glân, Dy Ras, Deyrn-wialen wiw, A'th Gleddyf yw fy Nghân: Trwy rhai'n i'm gwnaed I ufuddhau, A phlygu'n glau O fěaen dy Draed. 'Nawr cyfod f'Enaid gwan, A'r Temtiwr sathrai lawr, Mae'th Gadpen cryf o'th Ran, Gwnei Fuddugoliaeth fawr; Y gwanna'i Ffydd O'r Saint heb Ball, Ar holl Lu'r Fall, A garia'r Dydd. Pe doi Llu Angau Hyll A Nerthoedd Uffern ddu, Yn eu dychrynllyd Ddull, Llid a Chreulondeb cry' Diogel wy*i, Rhydd Crist i'm Ras I ddala ma's, A'u maeddu hwy'!

The most brilliant names of acclaim Heard in any language, By humankind ever; Or, amongst angels either; They are too poor To set forth The majesty and grace Of my generous Redeemer. O what gentle expressions, What servant's humbling, Is my Redeemer bearing To teach his heavenly grace! I am rejoicing On seeing as a gift The ways and the means Of loving me. In garments of flesh, without concealment, Like an angel he stands nearby, And the promises he holds, And pardon in his hand: From the Father He was sent To expound his grace To humankind. True great Prophet of my Chief, I shall praise thee, since 'tis thou Who didst bring the good news Of our salvation; Worthy news Of a free pardon Of peace with the Father, To humankind. A Counsellor to me he shall be, A Pattern and dear Prince; Through the whole desert he shall be To lead me onward and take me, O do not let me From thee flee, Or to a cross road turn From thy paths. I love my good Shepherd, Search me he does from heaven, I shall be kept safe Amongst his sheep: He shall pasture his flock, And carry his lambs In his gentle bosom, Despite the wolf. I shall place my cause, without refusing, Into the hand of my good Surety; He responds and fulfills The broken laws of his Father. Behold me free From my great debt! Pay them down Did my Surety. My great High Priest, Offered his blood freely; No sacrifice apart from that now, Shall my soul seek. His precious blood Gave satisfaction once, It is arguing still Before the Father. An advocate for me is Crist, He appears on my behalf above; And the Father bows his ear, And his thunder away he turns: Not strong hell Despite what it can do, Or sin say, Turn his heart. My Lord and my great Conqueror, And my holy King worthy of acclaim, Thy grace, worthy sceptre, And thy sword are my song: Through those to make me Obey, And bow quickly Before thy feet. Now arise, my weak soul, And the tempter trample down, Thy strong Captain is on thy side, Thou shalt made a great victory; The saint whose faith Is weakest, without fail, Over all the devil's host, Shall carry the day. If all the host of ugly death should come And all the powers of black hell,, In their horrifying manner, Wrath and strong cruelty, Safe I shall be, Crist shall give me his grace To hold out And beat them! tr. 2023 Richard B Gillion |
Join all the glorious names, Of wisdom, love, and power, That ever mortals knew, That angels ever bore: All are too mean to speak His worth, Too mean to set my Savior forth. But O what gentle terms, What condescending ways, Doth our Redeemer use To teach his heav'nly grace! Mine eyes with joy and wonder see What forms of love He bears for me. Arrayed in mortal flesh, He like an angel stands, And holds the promises And pardons in His hands; Commissioned from His Father's throne To make His grace to mortals known. Great prophet of my God, My tongue would bless Thy name, By Thee the joyful news Of our salvation came, The joyful news of sin forgiv'n Of hell subdued, and peace with Heav’n. Be Thou my counsellor, My pattern, and my guide, And through this desert land Still keep me near thy side: Nor let my feet e'er run astray Nor rove nor seek the crooked way. I love my Shepherd’s voice, His watchful eyes shall keep My wand’ring soul among The thousands of His sheep: He feeds His flock, He calls their names, His bosom bears the tender lambs. To this dear surety’s hand Will I commit my cause; He answers and fulfills His Father’s broken laws: Behold my soul at freedom set! My surety paid the dreadful debt. Jesus, my great high priest, Offered His blood, and died; My guilty conscience seeks No sacrifice beside: His powerful blood did once atone, And now it pleads before the throne. My advocate appears For my defence on high; The Father bows His ears, And lays His thunder by: Not all that hell or sin can say Shall turn His heart, His love away. My dear almighty Lord, My conqueror and my King, Thy sceptre and Thy sword, Thy reigning grace I sing: Thine is the power; behold I sit In willing bonds beneath Thy feet. Now let my soul arise, And tread the tempter down; My captain leads me forth To conquest and a crown: A feeble saint shall win the day, Though death and hell obstruct the way. Should all the hosts of death, And powers of hell unknown, Put their most dreadful forms Of rage and mischief on, I shall be safe, for Christ displays Superior power, and guardian grace.
