Ym myddin dirwest awn ymlaen Drwy'n bywyd yn y byd, Gan weithio'n gyson gyda Duw I achub euog fyd. O cofiwn gorff ac enaid blin Y meddwyn truan tlawd; Awn ato a dywedwn fod Yr Iesu iddo'n Frawd. Fe gollir cysur cartref clyd Wrth yfed diod gref; Fe gollir bywyd yn y byd, A chollir ffordd y nef. O Arglwydd, rho Dy nerth i ni, I godi gwerin gwlad, - A chymer yr afradlon lu Yn ol i dŷ ein Tad.Ben Davies 1864-1937 Tôn [MC 8686]: Sawley (James Walch 1837-1901) |
In the abstinence army let us go on Throughout our life in the world, Working constantly with God To save a guilty world. O let us remember the weary body and soul Of the poor wretched drunkard; Let us go to him and say that Jesus is a Brother to him. The comfort of a cosy home is lost Through drinking strong drink; Life is lost in the world, And lost is the way to heaven. O Lord, give Thy strength to us, To raise the folk of a land, - And take the prodigal host Back to our Father's house.tr. 2018 Richard B Gillion |
