Gorwedodd Crist, Iachawdwr byd,
Dan oerllwm weryd marwol;
Gadawodd hefyd, dwyfol Ion
Fedd eigion yn fuddugol!
Disgynodd Duw at Adda dad
Ar ddisglair doriad gwawrddydd;
O'i fedd esgynodd Iesu gwyn
O'i gladdiad cyn goleuddydd.
Ac iawn i minnau ufuddhau
Gan ddilyn camrau f'Arglwydd;
O weithred Iesu'r uchaf wr
Mewn bedydd dw'r rho'ed arwydd.
Fy medydd boed yn atteb oll
Ei fawr a'i ddigoll fwriad:
A chladder fy euogrwydd trist
Ym meddrod Crist fy Ngheidwad.
Bedyddia fi ā'r Yspryd Glān
Boed duwiol anian ynof;
Nes ca'el drwy nerthol ras y nef
Fy hunan gref o honof.
I brofi purdeb cywir ffydd
Uwch caerau'r dydd
sy'n esgyn,
Ufudd-dod gras
ar sylfaen gref
Mae Brenhin nef yn ofyn.
Arwyddo bywyd a glanhad
Mae'r ordinhad sancteiddiaf;
Ar adgyfodiad mawr a fydd
Pan ddelo'r dydd diweddaf.
Mae'r impiad hwn yn rhoddi hawl
I bob gweinyddawl freintiau;
Yn Eglwys Crist
trwy undeb fydd
Bob nos a dydd hyd angau.
O 'stad o bechod fel o'r bedd,
Daearen llygredd diras
Cyfoder fi, drwy ras i fyw
Yn nheyrnas wiw 'r Messias.
David Thomas (Dafydd Ddu o Eryri) 1759-1822Corph y Gaingc 1810 [Mesur: NS 8787] |
Christ, the world's Saviour, lay
Under the cold deathly soil;
The divine Lord also left
The depths of a grave victorious!
God descended to father Adam
At the radiant break of dawn;
From his grave ascended blessed Jesus
From his burial before daylight.
And right for me to obey
By following the steps of my Lord;
From the action of Jesus the highest man
In baptism of water a sign was given.
Let my baptism be all responding to
His great and his unfailing intention:
And may my sad guilt be buried
In the tomb of Christ my Saviour.
Baptise me with the Holy Spirit
May a divine nature be in me;
Until through heaven's strong grace,
Becoming strong myself.
To experience the true purity of faith
Above the fields of the day
that is ascending,
The obedience of grace
on a strong foundation
The King of heaven is demanding.
Signifying life and cleansing
Is the most sacred ordinance;
On the great resurrection that shall be
When the last day comes.
This grafting gives the right
To all the privileges of service;
In the Church of Christ
through the unity of faith
Every night and day until death.
From the state of sin, as from the grave,
Of corrupt, graceless earth,
I shall be raised, through grace to live
In the worthy kingdom of the Messiah.
tr. 2023 Richard B Gillion
