Yn loew lamp gwna fi, O Dduw! I glir lewyrchu tra b'wyf byw; Neu'n seren glaer yn t'w'nu fry I arwain pawb at Iesu cu. Gwna fi yn gân, i lawenhau Y rhai sy'n awr yn prudd dristâu - Cân calon foddlon, hyder ffydd, Ymlidia i ffwrdd bob tristwch prudd. Gwna f'oes yn emyn dlôs, O Dduw! Bob dydd yn llawn o fawl wrth fyw: Ac yn y diwedd f'enaid i Ar edyn mawl esgynno fry!David Adams (Hawen) 1845-1923
Tonau [MH 8888]: |
A bright lamp make me, O God! To gleam clearly while ever I live; Or a clear star shining above To lead everyone to dear Jesus. Make me a song, to cheer Those who are now sadly sorrowing - The song of a willing, bold, faithful heart, That chases away every sad sorrow. Make my life a pretty hymn, O God! Every day full of praise while living: And at the end, my soul On wings of praise shall mount above!tr. 2017 Richard B Gillion |
God make my life a little light Within the world to glow; A little flame that burneth bright, Wherever I may go. God make my life a little song That comforteth the sad That helpeth others to be strong, And makes the singer glad. God make my life a little hymn Of tenderness and praise, Of faith, that never waxeth dim, In all His wondrous ways.Matilda B Edwards 1836-1919 Good Words 1873 Tune [CM 8686]: Capel (English carol melody) |
