Angylion pur sy o gylch ei orsedd Yn gwisgo g'leuni fel y wawr, Yr Hwn a'ch gwisgoedd â'r fath harddwch, Ac 'ych yn ei addoli'n awr, Cig a gwaed a gym'rodd arno, Fel gallai gydymdeimlo â ni, Er mai gwrthrych eich addoliad A fu farw ar Galfari. Ti, haul, y ffynon fawr ddihysbydd O'leuni, cysur, gwres, a thân, Sy'n danfon dydd oddeutu'r ddaear Bywyd myrdd o lysiau mân; 'R Hwn a'th lanwodd o oleuni, Na ellir edrych ar dy wedd Ymddihatrodd o'i ogoniant, Gorwedd wnaeth yn ngwaelod bedd. Y lloer, yn mhlith y ser, sy'n rhodio, Yn g'leuo mwy na hwynt i gyd, Y môr sy'n teithio wrth dy amser, Ti gyddi'th wyneb ambell bryd; 'R Hwn rodd d'oleu oddiwrth yr haulwen, Ei lewyrch o hono ei Hun y sy; Clips a redodd tros ei harddwch Pan fu farw ar Galfari.William Williams 1717-91 gwelir: Iesu ydyw fy Nghreawdwr |
Pure angels who are around his throne Wearing light like the dawn, He who clothed you with such beauty, And whom ye are adoring now, Flesh and blood he took upon himself So that he could sympathise with us, Although being the object of your adoration Who died on Calvary. Thou, sun, the great unpublished fount Of light, comfort, warmth, and fire, Who sendest day around the earth The life of a myriad of small herbs; He who filled thee with light, That thy face is not to be looked upon Divested himself of his glory, Lie he did in the bottom of a grave. The moon, amongst the stars, which is moving, In light more than all of them, The sea which is travelling by thy time, Thou hidest thy face occasionally; He who gave thy light from the sunshine, His radiance is from Himself; An eclipse ran across his beauty When he died on Calvary.tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion |
Lofty Angels! God-like spirits, Clad in robes of 'living light': He who gave you all your glories, Him you worship day and night, Made his tent in human nature That in Him should man confide: Your Delight, your Source, and Centre Died - for man a Ransom died. Sun! the unexhausted fountain, Whence flow warmth and genial light, By whom Day to us is given Loaded with untold delight! He who hath with glory charged thee That we may not rudely gaze, Was on Calvary obscured - Well thou dark'nedst with amaze. Moon! who star-attended glidest Through the sky with queenly grace; Shining now in placid splendour, Veiling now with clouds thy face: He who hides thee - brings light to thee From that sun, whose Sun is He, Was eclipsed, - his beams were clouded, On the ignominious tree.tr. Favourite Welsh Hymns (Joseph Morris) 1854 [Metre: 8787D] |
