Dymunwn fod wrth borth y nef,
Yn gwrando cref gerddoriaeth
Holl waredigol deulu gras,
Yn Salem, ddinas helaeth.
Nid oes yn llys
y nefol Oen,
Na gwae, na phoen, na gofid;
Ond pawb yn taro yr un tant,
Yn y gogoniant hyfryd.
Mae yno apostolaidd dorf
Yn Nghrist yn gorfoleddu;
Merthyron uchel iawn eu cān,
A gadd trwy'r tān eu tynu.
Hiraethu'r wyf ar lawer tro,
Wrth deithio'r fro ddaearol,
Am uno gyda'r saint i gyd,
Ar fyr mewn gwynfyd nefol.
Gwyn fyd na bawn yn seinio mawl
Yn fy nhragwyddol drigfa;
Yn un o'r rhai sy'n moli'r Oen,
Mewn pur ddi boen orphwysfa.
Llyfr Tonau ac Emynau (Stephen & Jones) 1868
Tôn [MS 8787]: St Alban's (Coral Ellmynig) |
I would wish to be at the gate of heaven,
Listening to the strong music
Of the whole delivered family of grace,
In Salem, a broad city.
There is not in the court
of the heavenly Lamb,
Either woe, or pain, or grief;
But everyone striking the same string,
In the delightful glory.
There is there an apostolic throng
In Christ rejoicing;
Martyrs with their very loud song,
Who got pulled through the fire.
Longing I am on many occasions,
While travelling the earthly vale,
About joining with all the saints,
Shortly in heavely bliss.
How blessed were I sounding praise
In my eternal dwelling;
As one of those who are praising the Lamb,
In pure, painless rest.
tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion
