Fy enaid ymorffwys
ar aberth y groes,
'Does arall a'th gyfyd
o ddyfnder dy loes;
Offrymodd ei hunan
yn ddifai i Dduw,
Yn haeddiant yr aberth
mi gredaf caf fyw.
Mae munud o edrych
ar aberth y groes
Yn tawel ddistewi
môr tonnog fy oes;
Mae llewrch ei ŵyneb
yn dwyn y fath hedd
Nes diffodd euogrwydd
a dychryn y bedd.
William Edwards 1773-1853Ychydig Emynau 1818
Tonau [11.11.11.11]: |
My soul, rest,
on the sacrifice of the cross,
There is nothing else which will raise thee
from the depth of thy anguish;
He offered himself
faultless to God,
In the merit of the sacrifice
I believe I will get to live.
A minute of looking
on the sacrifice of the cross
Quietly silences
the billowing sea of my age;
The radiance of his face is
is bringing such peace
Until it extinguishes guilt
and the horror of the grave.
tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion
