Gwrando'r Iesu'n galw'n dirion, Geilw'r boreu a'r prydnawn; Addfed yw y maesydd gwynion, Pwy a geir i gasglu'r grawn? Pwy a â? mae'n galw'n eglur, Clyw, mae'n galw arnat ti; Ateb iddo - O fy Arglwydd, Wele fi, O anfon fi. Os na elli groesi'r cefnfor At baganiaid gwledydd draw Gelli ddweyd am Iesu a'i drysor Wrth drueiniaid sydd ger llaw: Os na elli roi dy filoedd, Dyro'n rydd, a'th ffydd yn gref; Pwy a gyfrif werth un hatling Os o gariad ato ef? Os na feddi ar hyawdledd, Dawn, a nerth angylion Duw, Gelli ddweyd am Iesu'n marw Dros bechadur gwael ei ryw: Os na elli ddeffro'r caled Heddyw i ffoi rhag uffern drist, Gelli arwain y rhai bychain Yn dy law at Iesu Grist. Os na elli fod yn gwylio Uchel dyrau Sion wen, Yn cyfeirio byd colledig At y Gwr fu ar y pren; Trwy dy ddagrau a'th weddïau, Ti wnei waith y nef yn wiw, Gelli di, fel Hur ac Aaron Gynal breichiau prophwyd Duw. Os na elli di gyfranu Dysg i rai mewn oed a maint, "Portha'm hŵyn" yw gair y Bygail Dysgu'r plant sydd nefol fraint: Plant arweiniaist at yr Iesu, Gyda mwyn, grynedig law, Ti a'u cei yn mhlith dy dlysau Yn dy gartre'r ochr draw. Byth na'th glywer di'n cyhoeddi - "Nid oes yma waith i mi;" O'r eneidiau sydd yn marw O dy amgylch! clyw eu cri! Ymegnïa i lafurio - Gwaith y nef fo'th bleser di; Brysia i ateb pan mae'n galw, "Wele fi, O anfon fi."Efel. John Roberts (Ieuan Gwyllt) 1822-77 Swn y Juwbili 1876
Tôn: [8787D]: Wele Fi Anfon Fi |
Listen to Jesus calling tenderly, He calls in the morning and the afternoon; Ripe are the white fields, Who is there to gather the grain? Who will go? he is calling clearly, Hear, he is calling on thee; Answer him - O my Lord, Here I am, O send me. If thou canst not cross the ocean To distant pagan lands Thou canst tell about Jesus and his treasure To wretches who are at hand: If thou canst not give thy thousands, Give freely, with thy faith strong; Who shall count the worth of a mite If from love towards him? If thou hast neither eloquence, Gift, nor the strength of God's angels, Thou canst tell about Jesus dying For a sinner of a poor kind: If thou canst not awaken the hardened Today to flee from sad hell, Thou canst lead the little ones By thy hand to Jesus Christ. If thou canst not be watching The high towers of bright Zion, Directing a lost world To the Man who died on the tree; Through thy tears and thy prayers, Thou wilt do the work of heaven worthily, Thou canst, like Hur and Aaron Support the arms of the prophet of God. If thou canst not share The teaching of those in age and size, "Feed my lambs" is the word of the Shepherd To teach the children is a heavenly privilege: Children thou didst lead to Jesus, With a gentle, trembling hand, Thou shalt have them amongst thy jewels In thy home on yonder side. Never shalt thou be heard announcing - "There is no work here for me;" From the souls who are dying Around thee! hear their cry! Be energised to labour - The work of heaven be thy pleasure; Hurry to answer when he is calling, "Here I am, O send me."tr. 2019 Richard B Gillion |
Hark! the voice of Jesus crying "Who will go and work today? Fields are white and harvests waiting; Who will bear the sheaves away?" Loud and long the Master calls us, Rich reward He offers free; Who will answer, gladly saying, "Here am I, send me, send me"? If you cannot cross the ocean, And the heathen lands explore, You may find the heathen nearer, You may help them at your door; If you cannot give your thousands, You can give the widow's mite; And the least you do for Jesus Will be precious in His sight. If you cannot sing like angels, If you cannot preach like Paul, You can tell the love of Jesus, You can say, "He died for all"; If you cannot rouse the wicked With the judgment's dread alarms, You can lead the little children, To the Saviour's waiting arms. If you cannot be the watchman Standing high on Zion's wall, Pointing out the path to heaven, Off'ring life and peace to all, With your pray'rs and with your bounties You can do what heav'n demands; You can be like faithful Aaron Holding up the prophet's hands. If you cannot, in the harvest, Gather up the richest sheaves, Many a grain both ripe and golden Oft the careless reaper leaves; Go and glean among the briars Growing rank against the wall, For it may be that their shadow Hides the heaviest wheat of all. Let none hear you idly saying, "There is nothing I can do," While the souls of men are dying, And the Master calls for you: Take the task He gives you gladly, Let His work your pleasure be; Answer quickly when He calleth, "Here I am, send me, send me."1,2,3,4,6: 1871 Daniel March 1816-1909 5 : 1860 Ellen M H Gates 1835-1920
