Dechreuwch, weision Duw, Y gân ddiddarfod, bêr; Datgenwch enw mawr a gwaith A gras anhraethol Nêr. Am ei ffyddlondeb mawr Dyrchefwch glod i'r nen: Yr hwn a roes addewid lawn Yw'r hwn a'i dwg i ben. Cyhoeddwch byth ar led Yr iechydwriaeth rad, Yr hon a'i haddewidion oll A seliwyd in' â gwa'd; Argraffwyd geiriau hon Fel ar dragwyddol graig, Arosant fyth mewn dwyfol rym, Er llid y gyfrwys ddraig. Mae gair ei ras mor gryf Â'r gair a wnaeth y nef; Y llais sy'n treiglo'r sêr di-rif Roes yr addewid gref. Ar yr addewid hon Anturia, f'enaid drud; Hi ddwg i'th ran drysorau'r groes Mil mwy eu gwerth na'r byd.cyf. Joseph Harris (Gomer) 1773-1825

Begin, servants of God, The endless, sweet song; Declare the great name and work And inexpressible grace of the Lord. For his great faithfulness Raise praise to the sky: He who gave a full promise Is the one who will bring it to pass. Publish ye abroad The free salvation, That which is with all its promises Sealed for us with blood. Engraved were these words As on an eternal rock, They will remain forever in divine force, Despite the wrath of the crafty dragon. The word of his grace is as strong As the word which made the heaven; The voice which trundles the innumerable stars Gave the strong promise. On this promise Venture, my dear soul; This it is will lead to thy portion of the treasures of the cross Worth a thousand times more than the world.tr. 2009,16 Richard B Gillion |
Begin, my tongue, some heavenly theme And speak some boundless thing; The mighty works, or mightier Name Of our eternal King. Tell of His wonderful faithfulness And sound His power abroad; Sing the sweet promise of His grace, And the performing God. Proclaim "salvation from the Lord For wretched, dying men"; His hand has writ the sacred Word With an immortal pen. Engraved as in eternal brass The mighty promise shines; Nor can the powers of darkness rase Those everlasting lines. His every word of grace is strong As that which built the skies; The voice that rolls the stars along Speaks all the promises. How would my leaping heart rejoice, And think my heav'n secure! I trust the all creating voice, And faith desires no more.1707 Isaac Watts 1674-1748
