eu parottoi i farw. 2 Tim 14. 6,7,8,18.)
Gall angau dorri nghorph i lawr,
A dwyn fy enaid fynu'n awr;
Pa'm y gohiria f'oriau'n hŵy,
Ac na ddoi'm Iechydwriaeth mwy?
A nefol arfau'r
'fengyl wiw
Ymleddais i ryfeloedd Duw;
Cwpleais fy ngyrfa, cedwais y ffydd,
A gwobor sicir i mi fydd.
Duw yn y nef i'w chadw im',
Rhoes goron na ddiflanna ddim;
Ar y dydd mawr, yng ngwydd y byd,
Fy Mhrynwr ar fy Mhen a'i dyd.
Ac nid myfi fy hun s'i gael
Gan Frenin gras
fath ffafar hael;
Ond pawb a'u chwant a'u hiraeth sydd
Wel'd ymddangosiad
Crist a'i ddydd.
Y Iesu, f'Arglwydd, ef a'm dwg
Yn ddiogel rhag pob amcan drwg;
A cheidw f'enaid, er mor wan,
I'w deyrnas nefol happus fan.
Duw sy' drag'wyddol gymorth im',
Terfysged uffern a'i holl rym;
Gogoniant iddo hyd y nen,
A mawl di-ddiwedd byth, Amen.

prepared to die. 2 Tim 14:6,7,8,18.)
Death can break my body down,
And take my soul up now;
Why are my hours delayed any later,
And my Salvation not come any more?
With the heavenly weapons
of the worthy gospel
I fought the wars of God;
I competed my course, I kept the faith,
And a certain prize for me there shall be.
God in heaven to save me,
Gave a crown that shall not vanish at all;
On the great day, in the face of the world,
My Redeemer on my head shall put it.
And it is not I myself who is to get
From the King of grace
such generous favour;
But all whose desire and whose longing is
To see the appearance
of Christ and his day.
Jesus, my Lord, he shall lead me
Safely from every evil purpose;
And keep my soul, although so weak,
to the kingdom of a heavenly, happy place.
God is an eternal help to me,
Let hell and all its force be in tumult;
Glory to him up to the sky,
An endless praise forever, Amen.

prepared to die, 2 Tim. 4. 6 7 8 18.)
[Death may dissolve my body now,
And bear my spirit home;
Why do my minutes move so slow,
Nor my salvation come?
With heavenly weapons
I have fought
The battles of the Lord,
Finish'd my course, and kept the faith,
And wait the sure reward.]
God has laid up in heaven for me
A crown which cannot fade;
The righteous Judge at that great day
Shall place it on my head.
Nor hath the King of grace decreed
This prize
for me alone;
But all that love and long to see
Th' appearance
of his Son.
Jesus the Lord shall guard me safe
From every ill design;
And to his heavenly kingdom keep
This feeble soul of mine.
God is my everlasting aid
And hell shall rage in vain;
To him be highest glory paid,
And endless praise. - Amen.
