Am ei hanfod ogoneddus Anwybodus ydyw'r byd; Goruwch dirnad pob creadur, Môr difesur yw o hyd: Wrth ei orsedd 'rydwyf weithiau Yma i raddau'n gwel'd ei wedd; Ond caf weled fyrdd dysgleiriach Pan gyrhaeddwyf wlad yr hedd.Cas. o Hymnau ... Wesleyaidd 1844

Am dy Hanfod gogoneddus,
Anwybodus ydyw'r byd;
Ni all meddwl dreiddio i'th natur,
Môr ddifesur wyt o hyd;
Wrth dy orsedd rasol weithiau,
Caf i raddau wel'd dy wedd;
Ond rwy'n dysgwyl gweled rhagor,
Ar ol myn'd tu draw i'r bedd.
O na b'ai fy meddwl gwibiog,
Yn sefydlog ar fy Nuw;
Yna cawn dàn bob
rhyw dristwch,
Brofi'n llawn ei heddwch gwiw;
Dena'n llwyr fy holl serchiadau,
O wrthrychau'r byd lle 'rwy':
Gwna fy enaid gwan heb ballu,
I dy wasanaethu'n fwy.
Caniadau Bethel (Casgliad Evan Edwards) 1840
Tonau {8787D}: |
Of his glorious being Ignorant is the world; Above the comprehension of every creature, An immeasurable sea it is still: At his throne I will be at times Here to some extent to see his face; But I may see a myriad times brighter When I reach the land of peace.
- - - - -
Of thy glorious being
Ignorant is the world;
Thought cannot penetrate to thy nature,
So immeasurable art thou always
At thy gracious throne sometimes,
I get to a degree to see thy countenance;
But I am expecting to see more,
After going beyond the grave.
O that my flitting thought were
Settled on my God;
Then I would get, under
every kind of sadness,
To experience fully his worthy peace;
Attract completely all my affections
From the object of the world where I am:
Make my weak soul, without fail,
To serve thee more.
tr. 2008,23 Richard B Gillion

Of the glories of his nature Unaware this world is still; High above earth's comprehension Love that ocean depths could fill. Here in prayer I touch his presence, Now and then I glimpse his face; There I'll gaze on love's pure beauty When I reach the land of peace.tr. 2008 Richard B Gillion

Of the glories of thy nature
Unaware this world is still;
High above earth's comprehension
Love that ocean depths could fill.
Here in prayer I touch thy presence,
Now and then I glimpse thy face;
There I'll gaze on love's pure beauty
When I reach the land of peace.
On my God my thoughts be grounded,
Flitting neither here nor there;
Then in every kind
of sadness,
Heavenly peace from him I'd share;
Take, O Lord, my stray affections
From the objects of this earth;
Make my soul more fit to serve thee,
And, unfailing, tell thy worth.
tr. 2008,23 Richard B Gillion
