Awr weddi hyfryd,
felys awr,
Ti godi f'enaid uwch y llawr;
Ti'm gelwi at yr orsedd rad,
I ddweyd fy angenion wrth fy Nhad:
Mewn trallod dwys, — cyfyngder caeth,
Gwaredwyd f'enaid lawer gwaith,
A'm traed rhag
maglau uffern fawr,
Trwy'th ail ddyfodiad, felys awr.
Awr weddi hyfryd,
felys awr,
Fy ngweddi dwg at Dduw yn awr;
Ei air a roes yn sylfaen gref
Gwrandewir pawb a'i ceisiant ef;
Os ydyw'n galw arna' i'n ddwys,
I gredu ei air — rhoi arno 'mhwys,
Mewn llwyr ymddiried ynddo'n awr,
Disgwyliaf di, hoff felys awr.
Awr weddi hfgryd,
felys awr,
Rho o'th ddiddanwch di yn awr,
Nes caffwyf wel'd o Pisga'n glir
Fy nghartref draw yn Nghanaan dir,
A hedeg fry, o'm carchar caeth,
I'r wlad sy'n llifo
o fêl a llaeth,
A bloeddio'n llon
wrth ado'r llawr, -
"Ffarwel, awr weddi, felys awr."
efel. John Roberts (Ieuan Gwyllt) 1822-77Swn y Juwbili 1876
Tôn [MHD 8888D]: Sweet Hour of Prayer |
Delightful hour of prayer,
sweet hour,
Thou raisest my soul above the ground;
Thou callest me to the gracious throne,
To tell my needs to my Father:
In intense trouble, - captive straits,
My soul was delivered many a time,
And my feet from
the snares of great hell,
Through thy second coming, sweet hour.
Delightful hour of prayer,
sweet hour,
My prayer take to God now;
His word he gave as a firm foundation
For all to listen to it and keep it;
If it is claling upon me intently,
To believe his word - to lean upon him,
In complete trust in him now,
I wait for thee - dear sweet hour.
Delightful hour of prayer,
sweet hour,
Give of thy comfort now,
Until I get to see from Pisgah clearly
My home yonder in the land of Canaan,
And fly up, from my captive prison,
To the land that flows
with honey and milk, -
And shout cheerfully
on leaving the earth, -
"Farewell, hour of prayer, sweet hour."
tr. 2020 Richard B Gillion

Sweet hour of prayer!
sweet hour of prayer!
That calls me from a world of care,
And bids me, at my Father's throne,
Make all my wants and wishes known:
In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief,
And oft escaped
the tempter's snare,
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer!
Sweet hour of prayer!
sweet hour of prayer!
Thy wings shall my petition bear
To Him whose truth and faithfulness
Engage the waiting soul to bless:
And, since He bids me seek his face,
Believe his word, and trust his grace,
I'll cast on Him my every care,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of pray'r!
Sweet hour of prayer!
sweet hour of prayer!
The joys I feel, the bliss I share
Of those whose anxious spirits burn
With strong desires for thy return!
With such I hasten to the place
Where God my Saviour
shows his face,
And gladly take
my station there,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
1845 William W Walford 1772-1850
