Ysbryd graslon, rho i mi Fod yn raslon fel tydi; Dysg im siarad yn dy iaith, Boed dy ddelw ar fy ngwaith; Gwna i holl addfwynder f'oes Ddweud wrth eraill werth y groes. Ysbryd geirwir, rho i mi Fod yn eirwir fel tydi; Trwy'r ddoethineb oddi fry Gwna fi'n dirion ac yn gry'; Gwna fi'n frawd i'r gwan a'r trist Er mwyn dangos Iesu Grist. Ysbryd tawel, rho i mi Fod yn dawel fel tydi; Distaw, fel eginyn îr Gyfyd trwy briddellau'r tir; Distaw, fel y boreu gwyn Yn gwasgaru niwl y glyn. Ysbryd grymus, rho i mi Fod yn rymus fel tydi; Dysg im goncro lle mae dyn Yn rhy egwan wrtho'i hun; Yn dy obaith cynnal fi Drwy beryglon tân a lli. Ysbryd Sanctaidd, rho i mi Fod yn sanctaidd fel tydi; Ynof pob rhyw ras cryfha, Dysg im fyw i bethau da; Ac i'r Duw a'th roddodd di, Ysbryd perffaith, canaf fi. cyf. Howell Elvet Lewis (Elfed) 1860-1953

Gracious Spirit, grant me To be gracious like thee; Teach me to speak in thy language, May thy image be upon my work; Make all the meekness of my lifespan Tell others the worth of the cross. Truthful Spirit, grant me To be truthful like thee; Through the truth from above Make me gentle and strong; Make me a borth to the weak and the sad In order to show Jesus Christ. Quiet Spirit, grant me To be quiet like thee; Silent, like the fresh shoot That rises through the land's soils; Quiet, like the bright morning Dispersing the fog of the vale. Powerful Spirit, grant me To be powerful like thee; Teach me to conquer where man is Too weak by himself; In thy hope uphold me Through dangers of fire and flood. Holy Spirit, grant me To be holy like thee; In me every kind of grace strengthen, Teach me to life for good things; And to the God who gavest thee, Perfect Spirit, I shall sing. tr. 2024 Richard B Gillion |
Gracious Spirit, dwell with me; I myself would gracious be; And with words that help and heal would thy life in mine reveal; And with actions bold and meek Would for Christ my Savior speak. Truthful Spirit, dwell with me; I myself would truthful be; And with wisdom kind and clear Let thy life in mine appear; And with actions brotherly Speak my Lord's sincerity. Quiet Spirit, dwell with me; I myself would quiet be, Quiet as the growing blade Which through earth its way hath made: Gentle as the morning light, Putting mists and chills to flight. Mighty Spirit, dwell with me; I myself would mighty be, Mighty so as to prevail Where unaided man must fail; Ever by a mighty hope Pressing on and bearing up. Holy Spirit, dwell with me; I myself would holy be; Separate from sin, I would Choose and cherish all things good, And whatever I can be Give to him who gave me thee! 1855 Thomas Toke Lynch 1818-71
