O! 'r iachawdwriaeth fawr yng Nghrist, Swn melys hyfryd yw i'm clust; Balm cryf i'm clwyfau o bob rhyw, A chysur im dan ofnau yw. O! wele iachawdwriaeth lawn, Gwellhad ysbrydol ynddi gawn; Yr iachawdwriaeth helaeth hon Sy'n llwyr iachau holl friwiau'r fron. Mewn bedd o bechod gorwedd bu Ein henaid wrth ddrws uffern ddu; Ond codi'r ym, trwy ras ein Duw, I weled nefol ddydd, a byw. Aed swn yr iachawdwriaeth fawr O amgylch ogylch daear lawr; A boed i'r nef a'i lluoedd llon Gyfodi eu llef i seinio hon. - - - - - Yr iechydwriaeth fawr yng Nghrist, Sŵn melys hyfryd yw i'm clust; Balm cryf i'm clwyfau o bob rhyw, A chordial im rhag ofnau yw. Aed sŵn yr iachydwriaeth fawr O ddeutu'r ddaear faith yn awr; O boed i'r nef a'i lluoedd llon Gyfodi llef i seinio hon. cyf. Dafydd Jones 1711-77

The great salvation in Christ, Is a sweet, delightful sound to my ear; A strong balm to my wounds of every kind, And a comfort to me under fears it is. O see full salvation, Spiritual healing in it we get; This generous salvation Is completely healing all the bruises of the breast. In a grave of sin were lying Our souls at the door of black hell; But rising we are, through the grace of our God, To see a heavenly day, and live. Let the sound of the great salvation go Round about the earth below; And let heaven with its cheerful hosts Raise their cry to sound this. - - - - - O the great salvation in Christ, Is a sweet, delightful sound to my ear; A strong balm to my wounds of every kind, And a cordial to me against fears it is. Let the sound of the great salvation go Around the vast earth now; O let heaven with its cheerful hosts Raise a cry to sound this. tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion |
Salvation! O the joyful sound! What pleasure to our ears! A sovereign balm for every wound, A cordial for our fears. Buried in sorrow and in sin, And at hell's dark door we lay; But we arise by grace divine To see a heavenly day. Salvation! let the echo fly The spacious earth around; While all the armies of the sky Conspire to raise the sound! - - - - - Salvation! O the joyful sound! What pleasure to our ears!
