Dewch, hen ac ieuainc, dewch
At Iesu, mae'n llawn bryd;
Rhyfedd amynedd Duw
Ddisgwyliodd wrthym cyd:
Aeth yn brynhawn,
mae yn hwyrhau;
Mae drws trugaredd heb ei gau.
Dewch, afradloniaid trist,
At Iesu Grist yn ôl;
Mae'i freichiau nawr ar led,
Fe'ch derbyn yn ei gôl:
Mae Duw yn rhoddi eto'n hael
Drugaredd i droseddwyr gwael.
Hilogaeth Adda, dewch
I foli Iesu mawr,
Mae drws y bywyd heb
Ei gaead hyd yn awr;
Trugaredd rad i ddynol-ryw
Sy'n cael ei chynnig in gan Dduw.
Dewch, bechaduriaid mawr,
Y duaf yn y byd;
Trugaredd sydd gan Dduw
I chwi, er oedi cyd:
Ni chofia Ef eich ffiaidd fai,
Gall gwaed y groes
eich lwyr lanhau.

Tonau [666688]: gwelir: Dewch bechaduriaid mawr |
Come, old and young, come
To Jesus, it is high time;
The amazing patience of God
Sought us together:
It has gone into afternoon,
it is getting late;
The door of mercy is not shut.
Come, sad prodigals,
Back to Jesus Christ;
His arms are now open wide,
He receives you into his embrace:
God gives generously again
Mercy to wretched transgressors.
The race of Adam, come,
To praise great Jesus,
The door of life is not
Closed yet;
Free mercy to human-kind
Gets offered to us by God.
Come, great sinners,
The blackest in the world;
There is mercy with God
For you, despite delaying so long:
He remembers not your despicable fault,
The blood of the cross can
cleanse you entirely.
prodigals :: old backsliders tr. 2007,14 Richard B Gillion |
Come old and young to Christ
The Lord! Now is the time;
God's mercy sought us all
With patience so sublime:
The hour is late,
'tis eventide;
His mercy’s door stands open wide.
Come ye who left your Lord
To tread the ways of sin;
He opens wide his arms
To welcome you back in:
God's love is once again expressed
To those who have his law transgressed.
Come, all of Adam's race,
To praise our Saviour's name,
The door to life, which now
Still open doth remain;
His grace and mercy from above
Is ours today through God's free love.
Come sinners of the world
With all your dreadful wrong;
God's mercy is not spent
Though ye have lingered long:
Through Jesu's blood now enter in,
Forever cleansed from
all your sin.
:: tr. 2007,14 Richard B Gillion
