Ardderchog Angel gadarn Ior

Ardderchog Angel, gadarn Ior,
Gwrthddrych addoliad nefol gor,
  O'r neilldu'n unig 'rydwyf fi
  Yn ymdrech am dy fendith di;
Y mdrechu wnaf nes tori'r wawr,
Er cloffi yn yr ymdrech mawr. 

Fy ngafael nis gollyngaf mwy
Nes llwyr iachau
    fy nwfwn glwy';
  I 'mofyn am y fendith fawr
  Tro'is i o'r neilldu yma'n awr;
Ymdrechu wnaf, O Arglwydd Dduw,
Nes gwneir fy enaid marw'n fyw.

Nid rhaid im' dd'wedyd pwy wyf fi,
Ond d'wed, O d'wed im' pwy wyt ti!
  Ai ti yw sail caniadau'r ne'-
  Y Gŵr fu farw yn fy lle?
Am hyn ymdrechaf wrth dy draed,
Nes profi'n wir rinweddau'th waed.

Mae ngweddi'n llwyddo gyda Duw,
Fy Nghraig, fy Nhŵr, fy Nghastell yw;
  Trwy ffydd gorchfygais ar y llawr, -
  Aeth Jacob wan yn Israel 'nawr!
'Ngelynion mawr nid ofnaf mwy,
Fy noddfa glyd yw Iesu a'i glwy'.

Er cloffi yn yr ymdrech maith,
Mi âf yn hyf i ben fy nhaith;
  'Rwy'n tynu tua'm cartref fry,
  Fy etifeddiaeth yno sy;
Lle'r aeth fy nhadau o fy mlaen,
I seinio'n gu dragwyddol gân.

Excellent Angel, firm Lord,
Object of the heavenly choir's worship,
  Apart, alone I am
  Wrestling for thy blessing;
Wrestle I shall until the break of dawn,
Although lame in the great wrestling.

My grasp I shall not release evermore
Until the complete healing
    of my deep wound;
  To ask for the great blessing
  I turned aside here now;
Wrestle I shall, O Lord God,
Until my dead soul be made alive.

No need for me to tell who I am,
But tell, O tell me who thou art!
  Art thou the basis of heaven's songs -
  The Man who died in my place?
Therefore I shall wrestle at thy feet,
Until I experience thy blood's true virtue.

Prayer is prevailing with God,
My Rock, my Tower, my Castle he is;
  Through faith I overcame on the earth, -
  Weak Jacob became Israel now!
Great enemies I shall no more fear,
My secure refuge is Jesus and his wound.

Although lame in the long wrestling,
I shall go boldly to the end of my journey;
  I am drawing towards my home above,
  My inheritance is there;
Where my fathers went before me,
To sound the dear eternal song.

Come, O thou traveller unknown,
  Whom still I hold, but cannot see,
My company before is gone,
  And I am left alone with Thee;
With Thee all night I mean to stay,
And wrestle till the break of day.

In vain Thou strugglest to get free,
  I never will
      unloose my hold:
Art Thou the man that died for me?
  The secret of Thy love unfold;
Wrestling, I will not let Thee go,
Till I Thy name, Thy nature know.

I need not tell Thee who I am,
  My misery, or sin declare;
Thyself hast called me by my name,
  Look on Thy hands, and read it there;
But who, I ask Thee, who art Thou?
Tell me Thy name, and tell me now.

My prayer hath power with God; the grace
  Unspeakable I now receive;
Through faith I see Thee face to face,
  I see Thee face to face, and live:
In vain I have not wept, and strove;
Thy nature and Thy name is Love.

Lame as I am, I take the prey,
  Hell, earth, and sin, with ease o'ercome;
I leap for joy, pursue my way,
  And as a bounding hart fly home,
Through all eternity to prove
Thy nature and Thy name is Love.
