Duw mawr, ymostwng y mae ef,
I edrych gwaith
angylion nef;
Ei olwg dafla law'r yn llòn,
I edrych hynt y ddaear hon.
Mae'n goruch-lywodraethu'r byd,
A'n hamgylchiadau ninau gyd;
Ond i eneidiau difalch prudd,
Ei ofal a'i gynghorion rydd.
O! n'allai'n calon chwilio i ma's
Ryw deyrnged f'ai
mor fawr â'th ras;
I'r drydedd nef
ein cân gei dd'od,
I ddysgu i'r aur delynau'th glod.
cyf. Caniadau Y Cysegr 1855
[Mesur: MH 8888] |
Great God, bowing he is,
To look at the work
of the angels of heaven;
His sight he casts down cheerfully,
To look at the course of this earth.
He is the supreme governor of the world,
And surrounding us always;
But to humble, sad souls,
His care and his counsels he gives.
O that our hearts could seek out
Some tribute that would be
as great as thy grace;
That to the third heaven
our song could come,
To teach the golden harps thy praise.
