Gogoniant tragwyddol
i'th enw, fy Nuw,
Mae'r byd yn dy gysgod
yn bod ac yn byw;
Ni flinaist fynd heibio
i feiau di-ri'
I gofio pechadur
na chofia dydi.
Tydi sydd yn deilwng
o'r bri a'r mawrhad,
Tydi roddodd fywyd
a chynnydd i'r had;
Tydi yn dy nefoedd
aeddfedodd y grawn,
Tydi roddodd ddyddiau'r
cynhaeaf yn llawn.
Er maint y daioni
a roddi mor hael,
Tu cefn i'th drugaredd
mae digon i'w gael;
Llawenydd yw cofio,
er cymaint a roed,
Fod golud y nefoedd
mor fawr ag erioed.
Evan Rees (Dyfed) 1850-1923
Tonau [11.11.11.11]: |
Eternal glory
to thy name, my God,
The world is in thy shadow
being and living;
Thou didst not weary of passing by
innumerable sins
To remember the sinner
who remembers not thee.
Thou art worthy
of the honour and the exaltation,
Thou who gavest life
and growth to the seed;
Thou in thy heavens
matured the grain,
Thou who gavest the days
of the harvest fully.
Because of the extent of the goodness
which gives so generously,
Behind thy mercy
there is enough to be had;
Joy is remembering,
though so much was given,
That the wealth of the heavens is
as great as ever.
tr. 2009 Richard B Gillion
