Nid oes enw 'mhlith angelion,
Y'mhlith dynion, ac ni chaed,
All fod i mi'n ddinas noddfa,
Yn unig ond Iachawdwr rhad,
Mae'r afonydd rwy'n myn'd trwyddynt,
A'r tonnau mawrion mor ddirif,
Nad oes dim ond nerth trad'wyddol,
Ddeil fy enaid yn y llif.
Mae fy nghalon yn 'sgrifenu,
Ac yn adrodd wrthi'i hun,
Enw hyfryd a rhinweddol
Duw yn gwisgo natur dyn!
Iachawdwriaeth, iachawdwriaeth,
Iachawdwriaeth werthfawr iawn,
Ydyw enw fy Ngwaredwr
Gennyf, fore a phrynhawn.
Can' ffarwel o gylch y ddaear,
Can' ffarwel i bawb o'r bron,
Can' ffarwel i'r gwerthfawrocaf
Bethau enwir ar y don;
Da a dynion aeth yn anghof,
A phleserau o bob rhyw;
Bellach i mi dim ond canu -
Canu cariad i fy Nuw.
Duw yn unig sydd o'm hochr,
Ni thâl dynion i mi ddim;
Llawer trymach yw fy meichiau
Nag yw cewri'r byd o rym;
Iesu ddeil fy maich,
er cymmaint,
Iesu ei hunan laesa'm loes,
Eithaf llid y nef ac uffern
Ddaliodd unwaith ar y groes.
William Williams 1717-91
Tonau [8787D]: gwelir: Cofia f'enaid cyn i't dreulio Cyfarwydda f'enaid Arglwydd Mae fy nghalon am ehedeg |
There is no name amongst angels,
Amongst men, to be had,
Which can be to me as a city of refuge,
But a gracious Saviour alone,
The rivers I am going through,
And the great, unnumbered waves,
There is nothing but eternal strength,
Shall hold my soul in the flood.
My heart is writing,
And reporting to itself,
A delightful and virtuous name
Of God wearing the nature of man!
Salvation, salvation,
Very precious salvation,
Is the name of my Deliverer
I have, morning and afternoon.
Sing farewell around the earth,
Sing farewell to everyone entirely,
Sing farewell to the most precious
Things to be named on the wave;
Goods and men went forgotten,
And pleasures of every kind;
Now I have nothing but singing -
Singing love to my God.
God alone is on my side,
Men are not worth anything to me;
Much heavier are my burdens
Than the force of the world's giants;
Jesus will hold my burden,
although so great,
Jesus himself will ease my anguish,
The extreme wrath of heaven and hell
He held once upon the cross.
tr. 2017 Richard B Gillion
