Gwna fi fel pren
planedig, O! fy Nuw,
Yn îr ar lan
afonydd dyfroedd byw,
Yn gwreiddio ar led,
a'i ddail heb wywo mwy,
Ond ffrwytho dan
gawodydd dwyfol glwy'.
Gwlad dda, heb wae,
gwlad wedi ei rhoi dan sêl,
Llifeirio mae,
a'i ffrwyth o laeth a mêl;
Grawnsypiau gwiw
i'r anial dir sy'n dod;
Gwlad nefol yw,
uwchlaw mynegi ei chlod.
Jehofa yw,
yn un â'i Enw pur,
Cyflawnwr gwiw
ei addewidion gwir;
Mae'n codi ei law,
cenhedloedd ddaw i maes,
Nodedig braw'
o'i rydd anfeidrol ras.
Cenhadon hedd,
mewn efengylaidd iaith,
Sy'n galw i'r wledd
dros fôr yr India faith;
Caiff Hotentots,
Goraniaid dua' eu lliw,
Farbaraidd lu,
eu dwyn i deulu Duw.
Gad imi fyw,
ynghanol pob rhyw bla,
Dan gysgod clyd
adenydd Iesu da;
A'm tegwch gwir
fel olewydden wiw
O blaniad teg
daionus Ysbryd Duw.
Ac yna caf
mewn haf dragwyddol ddydd,
Y palmwydd teg
a'r goron ddysglaer sydd
Yng nghadw gan
yr Iesu pur i'w saint,
Mewn dedwydd fyd -
O nefol hyfryd fraint.
Gad imi fyw :: Fel byddwyf byw

Tonau [10.10.10.10]:
gwelir: |
Make me like a tree
planted, O my God,
Freshly by the side,
of rivers of living water;
Rooting widely,
and its leaves with no more withering,
Bearing fruit under
showers of a heavenly wound.
A good land, without woe,
a land given under a seal,
Gushing it is,
and its fruit of milk and honey;
Worthy grape-clusters
which are coming to the desert land.
A heavenly land it is,
above expression of its praise.
Jehovah is,
one with his pure Name,
A worthy fulfiller
of his true promises;
He raises his hand,
nations come forth,
A distinctive experience
of his free, immeasurable grace.
Messengers of peace,
in evangelistic language,
Which call to the feast,
across the vast sea of India;
Hottentots,
Coranians of blackest colour,
A barbarian host,
may get brought to the family of God.
Let me live
amidst every kind of plague,
Under the cosy shade
of the wings of good Jesus;
And my worthy fairness
like a worthy olive tree,
From the fair planting
of God's good Spirit.
And there I shall have
in the summer of eternal day,
The fair palm
and the shining crown which is
Kept by
pure Jesus for his saints,
In a happy world -
Oh delightful, heavenly privilege!
