Arglwydd Iesu, llanw d'Eglwys
Ā'th Lān Ysbryd di dy hun
Fel y gwasanaetho'r nefoedd
Drwy roi'i llaw i achub dyn:
Dysg i'w llygaid allu canfod,
Dan drueni dyn, ei fri;
Dysg i'w dwylo estyn iddo
Win ac olew Calfari.
Llifed cariad pen Calfaria
Drwy dy Eglwys ato ef;
A'th diriondeb di dy hunan
Glywo'r truan yn ei llef:
Dysg hi i ofni byw yn esmwyth
Gan anghofio'r byd
a'i loes,
Nertha hi i dosturio wrtho
A rhoi'i hysgwydd dan ei groes.

Lord Jesus, flood thy church
With thine own Holy Spirit
That it serve the heavens
Through offering its hand to save man:
Teach its eyes to be able to perceive,
Under wretched man, his honour;
Teach its hands to reach out to him
With the wine and oil of Calvary.
Let flow the love of Calvary's summit
Through thy church unto him;
And thine own gentleness
Hear the the wretch in his cry:
Teach her to fear to live at ease
While forgetting the world
and its anguish,
Strengthen her to be merciful unto it
And to put her shoulder under his cross.
tr. 2008 Richard B Gillion

Fill thy church on earth, Lord Jesus,
With thy Holy Spirit; and
Let her serve thy heavenly purpose,
Reaching man a helping hand.
Teach her eyes how to discover
Valour 'neath man's misery;
Teach her hands, that she may proffer
Wine and oil of Calvary.
Let the love of Calvary, flowing
Through thy church, yet wider stretch,
And thy own especial kindness
Hear the poor despairing wretch.
Warn her against easy living
Heedless of the
world at loss;
Rouse her up to heed, and pitying,
Get her shoulder 'neath its cross.
