Deffro f'enaid gwel dy ddyddiau,
Gwel yr oriau'n agosau;
Pob awr yn tynnu at y diwedd
Y rhaid it' orwedd yn y clai:
Edrych obry, dy gyfeillion
A'th gymdeithion gwychion gynt,
Gwel eu defnydd yn y dwfn-fedd
Mor ddisylwedd, waeled y'nt.
Ffarwel wagedd ac oferedd,
Ffarwel faith hudolaidd fyd;
A phob pleser ar y ddaear
Gwae a galar y'nt i gyd:
'Rwy'n marw beunydd i'r creadur
Ym mywyd Iesu
t'wsog hedd,
Dioddefodd drosof ar Galfaria
Gorchfygodd uffern, angau a'r bedd.
Diferion y Cyssegr 1802
[Mesur: 8787D] |
Awake my soul, see thy days,
See the hours approaching;
Every hour drawing to the end
When thou must lie in the clay:
Look above, thy former
Brilliant friends and neighbours,
See their material in the deep grave
How insubstantial, poor they are.
Farewell vanity and uselessness,
Farewell vast enchanting world;
And every pleasure on the earth
Woe and lamentation are they all:
I am dying daily to the creature
In the life of Jesus
the Prince of peace,
Who suffered for me on Calvary
Who overcame hell, death and the grave.
tr. 2020 Richard B Gillion
