Drwy'r goruchelder Mawl i Dduw, A thrwy'r dyfnderau maith; Yn Ei holl ffyrdd mor sicr yw, A rhyfedd yn Ei waith. O! fawr ddoethineb Cariad Duw! Tra'r byd mewn nos ddi-wawr, - Daeth Adda'r Ail i'r dyfnder du I wared llwch y llawr. O! Gariad doeth, — i gig a gwaed Yn Adda aeth i lawr, Ymadnewyddu'n gryf drachefn A choncro'r gelyn mawr. Drwy'r goruchelder Mawl i Dduw, A thrwy'r dyfnderau maith; Yn Ei holl ffyrdd mor sicr yw, A rhyfedd yn Ei waith.cyf. John T Job 1867-1938

Through the supreme height: Praise to God, And through the vast depths; In all His way more sure he is, And wonderful in His work. O great wisdom of the Love of God! While the world in dawn-less night, - A Second Adam came to th black depth To deliver the dust of the ground. O wise love! - for flesh and blood Which in Adam went down, To renew itself strongly again And conquer the great enemy. Though the supreme height: Praise to God, And through the vast depths; In all His ways how sure he is, And wonderful in His work.tr. 2017 Richard B Gillion |
Praise to the Holiest in the height, And in the depth be praise; In all His works most wonderful, Most sure in all His ways. O loving wisdom of our God! When all was sin and shame, A second Adam to the fight And to the rescue came. O wisest love! that flesh and blood, Which did in Adam fail, Should strive afresh against their foe, Should strive and should prevail; Praise to the Holiest in the height, And in the depth be praise; In all His works most wonderful, Most sure in all His ways.John H Newman 1801-90) The Dream of Gerontius 1865
