Gobaith cỳrau eitha'r ddaear,
Wrthyt dysgwyl f'enaid gwan;
Rho i mi'r gobaith
ni ch'wilyddia, -
Gobaith da trwy ras i'm rhan;
Gobaith bywiol,
Ddalio'n wrol hyd y nef.
O! am obaith gwyn'fydedig,
Sylfaenedig ar y Graig,
Ddalio 'ngwyneb poeth bicellau,
Erchyll ddrygau'r gyfrwys ddraig;
Gobaith gano,
Pan fo'n curo angeu du.
Gobaith buro'm henaid euog,
Dduw trugarog! dyro im';
Cadarn angor ar y cefnfor,
Gadwo'n ddidor
byth mewn grym;
Fel b'wy'n canu
Mewn goleuni draw i'r bedd.
Joseph Harris (Gomer) 1773-1825
Tonau 878747]: |
The hope of the world's utmost corners,
For thee waits, my weak soul;
Give me the hope
that shall not disappoint, -
A good hope through grace for my portion;
A lively hope,
That endures bravely as far as heaven.
O for a blessed hope!
Founded on the Rock,
That endures in the face of hot spears,
The hideous evils of the crafty dragon;
A hope that sings,
When black death be striking.
A hope that purify my guilty soul,
Merciful God, give to me!
A firm anchor on the ocean,
That remains unceasingly
forever in force;
Thus shall I be singing
In light beyond the grave.
tr. 2025 Richard B Gillion
