Goleu'r dydd sy'n pallu, Wele, daeth y nos; T'w'llwch sy'n ymdaenu Dros y wybren dlos. Myrdd o ser edrychant Drwy y gwyll i lawr; Anifeiliaid gyrchant I'w llochesi'n awr. Iesu, rho Dy wenau I'r lluddedig un, Fel bo i'w amrantau Gau mewn esmwyth hun. Rho i'r plentyn egwan Olwg ar Dy wedd, Fel bo'i freuuddwyd bychan Heno'n llawn o hedd. Rho i'r cystuddiedig Glywed swn Dy lef, Fel bo'i wely unig Megis porth y nef. Drwy yr hirnos dywell, Doed i'th engyl Di, Yn fy nghlyd ystafell, Wylio drosof fi. A phan dyrr y wawrddydd, Dros y bryniau draw, Minnau seiniaf glodydd Dy haelionus law.Efel. David Rowlands (Dewi Môn) 1836-1907
Tôn [6565]: |
The light of day is fading, See, the night has come; Darkness is spreading Across the pretty sky. A myriad of stars look Through the darkness down; Animals set off For their refuges now. Jesus, give Thy smiles To the exhausted one, As his eyelids be Closing in easy sleep. Give to the weak child A sight of Thy face, Thus be his little dream Tonight full of peace. Grant to the afflicted To hear the sound of Thy cry, Thus be his lonely bed Like the gate of heaven. Through the long, dark night, May Thy angels come, In my secure room, To watch over me. And when the dawn breaks, Across yonder hills, I shall sound the praises Of Thy generous hand.tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion |
Now the day is over, Night is drawing nigh, Shadows of the evening Steal across the sky. Now the darkness gathers, Stars begin to peep, Birds, and beasts and flowers Soon will be asleep. Jesus, give the weary Calm and sweet repose; With Thy tenderest blessing May mine eyelids close. Grant to little children Visions bright of Thee; Guard the sailors tossing On the deep, blue sea. Comfort those who suffer, Watching late in pain; Those who plan some evil From their sin restrain. Through the long night watches May Thine angels spread Their white wings above me, Watching round my bed. When the morning wakens, Then may I arise Pure, and fresh, and sinless In Thy holy eyes.1867 Sabine Baring-Gould 1834-1924
