Yng ngweinidogaeth Eglwys Grist Agorir athrist fylchau; Syrth ambell un i nwyd y fall, Ac arall syrth yn angau. I lenwi'r bylchau dewis raid Fugeiliaid fo o galon Yn caru Crist, mawrhau ei waith, A rhodio'n berffaith gyson. O! Arglwydd, chwiliwr calon dyn, I'th waith dy Hun tuedda Y rhai ddewisaist; a hwynt-hwy Â'th Ysbryd mwy eneinia. O! cadw d'Eglwys byth, a chau Ei drws rhag gau athrawon, A llywodraether hi heb baid Gan wir fugeiliaid ffyddlon.Ellis Roberts (Elis Wyn o Wyrfai) 1827-95 Tôn [MS 8787]: Morgannwg (hen alaw) |
In the ministry of the Church of Christ Sad breaches are to be opened; An occasional one falls to the passion of the pestilence, And another falls in death. To fill the breaches it is necessary to choose Pastors that be from the heart Loving Christ, magnifying his work, And walking perfectly constantly. O Lord, thou searcher of the heart of man, To Thy own work attract Those Thou didst choose; and them With thy Spirit anoint evermore! O keep thy Church forever, and close Her doors against false teachers! And may she be governed without ceasing By true, faithful pastors.tr. 2018 Richard B Gillion |
