Yr wyf yn dod, O! Iesu mawr Mae d'alwad ar fy ôl - Gan adael holl bleserau'r llawr A'm holl deganau ffôl. 'R wy'n dod, ond O! mae'r ffordd yn faith, 'R wyf wedi crwydro 'mhell; 'R wyf wedi mynd ar ddyrys daith I chwilio am wlad sydd well. 'R wy'n dod, 'does yma ddim i'w gael, 'R wyf bron newynu'n wir; Wrth geisio byw ar gibau gwael Mi drengaf cy bo hir. Yr wyf yn dod o dan fy maich, Ac mewn tywyllwch du; O! Iesu, estyn im dy fraich, I'm nerthu a'm harwain i. 'R wyn dod, gan bwyso ar dy air, A dadlau rhin dy waed; 'R wy'n dod, ac os fy ngholli wnair, Fe'm collir wrth dy draed!David Evans 1833-1920
Tonau [MC 8686]: |
I am coming, O great Jesus Thy call is after me - Leaving all the pleasures of earth And all my foolish trinkets. I'm coming, but oh, the road is long! I've wandered far; I've been on a troublesome journey To seek for a land that is better. I'm coming, there is nothing here to have, I'm almost really starving; While trying to live on wretched pods I will die before long. I am coming under my burden, And in black darkness; O Jesus, extend to me thy arm, To strengthen me and lead me. I'm coming, leaning on thy word, And arguing the virtue of thy blood; I'm coming, and if I am to be dropped, I will be dropped at thy feet!tr. 2011 Richard B Gillion |
