Cân, fy nhafod, fawl y Ceidwad, Dirgel rym ei gnawd a'i nerth; Am y dwyfol waed a roddes Nad oes brisio ar ei werth; Ffrwyth dihalog fru, i brynu Byd o afael pechod certh. Ef o bur, ddihalog Forwyn Ganed yma i'n rhyddhau; Megis dyn â dyn llefarai, Had gwirionedd, bu'n ei hau; Yna'n rhyfedd, gwae ei yrfa, Dwys fu modd ei gwblhau. Hwyr y Swper Olaf hwnnw Gyda'i ddewis rai'n gytûn, Oen y Pasg y bu'n ei fwyta Fel y cadwai'r ddeddf yn un; Yna'n fwyd i'w apostolion Ef a'i rhoddes ef ei hun. Gair yn gnawd, anianol fara Gyda'i air yn gnawd a drydd; Troi y win yn waed yr Arglwydd - Beth os uwch na synnwyr fydd? I oleuo'r galon gywir Gorau lamp yw golau ffydd.cyf. T Gwynn Jones 1871-1949
Tunes [8787D]: |
Sing, my tongue, the praise of the Saviour, The secret power of his flesh and it's strength; About the divine blood that he shed On the worth of which is no price; The fruit of an unspotted womb, to redeem A world from the grip of terrible sin. He from a pure, unspotted Virgin Was born here to set us free; As a man with man he spoke, The seed of truth, he was sown; Then wonderfully, the woe of his course, Intense was the manner of fulfilling it. On the evening of that Last Supper With his chosen ones together, The Pascal Lamb was eaten Thus he kept the law as one; Then as food for the apostles He himself gave it. The Word in flesh, the bread of the soul, With his word into flesh he turns; The wine turns into the blood of the Lord - What if it be higher than sense? To enlighten the true heart The best lamp is the light of faith.tr. 2020 Richard B Gillion |
Sing, my tongue, the Saviour's glory, Of His Flesh, the mystery sing; Of the Blood, all price exceeding, Shed by our Immortal King, Destined, for the world's redemption, From a noble Womb to spring. Of a pure and spotless Virgin Born for us on earth below, He, as Man, with man conversing, Stayed, the seeds of truth to sow; Then He closed in solemn order Wondrously His Life of woe. On the night of that Last Supper, Seated with His chosen band, He, the Paschal Victim eating, First fulfils the Law's command; Then as Food to all his brethren Gives Himself with His own Hand. Word-made-Flesh, the bread of nature By His Word to Flesh He turns; Wine into His Blood He changes: What though sense no change discerns. Only be the heart in earnest, Faith her lesson quickly learns.tr. Edward Caswall 1814-78 Lyra Catholica 1849 from the Latin Pange lingua gloriosi Tune [878787]: St Thomas (J F Wade / S Webbe) |
