Fy ngweddi, dos i'r nef,
Yn union at fy Nuw,
A dywed wrtho Ef yn daer,
"Atolwg, Arglwydd, clyw!
Gwna'n ôl d'addewid wych
I'm dwyn i'th nefoedd wen;
Yn Salem fry partô fy lle
Mewn llys o fewn i'r llen."
Pererin llesg a llaith,
Dechreuais daith oedd bell,
Trwy lu o elynion
mawr eu brad
Gan geisio gwlad sydd well;
Am ffoi mae f'enaid tlawd
At f'annwyl Frawd a'm Pen;
Yn Salem fry partô fy lle
Mewn llys o fewn i'r llen.
[Pererin llesg a llaith,
Dechreuais daith oedd bell,
Trwy'r holl elynion
mawr eu brad
Gan geisio gwlad sydd well;
Iachâ bob clwyf a brath
A dail y bywiol bren,
Yn Salem fry par'to fy lle
Mewn llys o fewn i'r llen.]
Yng nglyn wylofain trist,
Lle bu fy Nghrist, 'r wy'n byw;
Ac wrth ryfela â'm
gelyn caeth
Fy nghalon aeth yn friw;
Iachâ bob clwyf a brath
 dail y bywiol bren;
Yn Salem fry partô fy lle
Mewn llys o fewn i'r llen.
Mae 'mrodyr uwch y nen
Yn canu ar ben eu taith;
A minnau oedais lawer awr
Ar siwrnai fawr a maith;
Ond bellach tyn fi'n ddwys,
Ar Grist dod bwys fy mhen;
Yn Salem fry partô fy lle
Mewn llys o fewn i'r llen.
Gwna im' fyn'd ymlaen yn ddewr,
Trwy ddyfroedd mawr a thân,
Heb ofni Satan lew na'i lu,
Nes elwy' i Seion lân;
Gan ddiangc ar y byd,
I'm cartref clŷd uwch ben:
Yn Salem fry partô fy lle
Mewn llys o fewn i'r llen.
'R wy'n gwel'd yr oriau'n hir,
I fod o dir fy ngwlad;
'Bryd deuaf at fy mrodyr fry,
Sy'n canu yn nhŷ fy Nhad?
Gael gorphen ar fy nhaith,
A'm siwrne faith îs nen:
Yn Salem fry partô fy lle
Mewn llys o fewn i'r llen.

Tonau [MBD 6686D]:
gwelir: |
My prayer, go to heaven,
Directly to my God,
And say to Him dearly,
Beseeching, Lord, hear!
Do according to thy wonderful promise
Lead me to thy bright heavens;
In Salem above prepare my place
In the court within the curtain.
A pilgrim weary and timid,
I began my journey which was far,
Through a host of enemies
of great treachery
While seeking the land which is better;
For my poor soul to flee
To my dear Brother and my Head;
In Salem above prepare my place
In the court within the curtain.
[A pilgrim weary and timid,
I began my journey which was far,
Through all the enemies
of great treachery
While seeking the land which is better;
Heal every wound and pang
With the leaves of the lively tree,
In Salem above prepare my place
In the court within the curtain.]
In the vale of sad lamentation,
Where Christ was, I am living;
And while battling with my
enemy of captivity
My heart gets broken;
Heal every wound and pang
With the leaves of the tree of life;
In Salem above prepare my place
In the court within the curtain.
My brothers are above the sky
Singing at the end of their travel;
While I have tarried below for an hour
On a journey great and long;
But now draw me firmly,
On Christ lean my head;
In Salem above prepare my place
In the court within the curtain.
Make me go forward bravely,
Through great waters and fire,
Without fearing the lion Satan or his host,
Until I go to holy Zion;
Escaping from the world,
To my secure home over head:
In Salem above prepare my place
In the court within the curtain.
I am seeing the hours as long,
To be from the land of my country;
When shall I come to my brothers above,
Who are singing in my Father's house?
To get to finish on my travel,
And my vast journey under the sky:
In Salem above prepare my place
In the court within the curtain.
:: On a journey :: On a course tr. 2009,17 Richard B Gillion |
Direct unto my God, With speed, my cry ascend: Present to Him this urgent plea: - "In mercy, Lord, attend! Fulfil thy gracious word, To bring me to thy rest; In Salem soon my place prepare, And make me ever blest!" "Down in a vale of tears Where dwelt my Christ I mourn, And in the conflict with my foes, My tender heart is torn: O heal each bleeding wound, With thy life-giving tree; In Salem, Lord, above the strife, A place prepare for me!" Tune [MBD 6686D]: Iona (Day's Psalter 1563) |
