Hoff gennym, Dduw, y tŷ
Lle mae dy enw mawr,
Ac yma profwn ni
Lawenydd mwya'r llawr.
Tŷ gweddi ydyw ef,
Lle daw dy blant ynghyd,
A thithau, Dduw y nef,
Wyt yn ein plith o hyd.
Hoff gennym ni, ein Tad,
Fedyddfan glân y tŷ
Lle ceir bendithion rhad
Yr Ysbryd oddi fry.
Yr allor sanctaidd sydd
Yn annwyl byth i ni,
Lle cenfydd llygad ffydd
Dy bresenoldeb di.
Hoff gennym lyfr ein Tad,
Sydd yn cyhoeddi hedd,
A chymorth yn y gad,
A bywyd hwnt i'r bedd.
Hoff gennym gân y llawr
Am ei drugaredd ef,
Hiraethwn am yr awr
Cawn chwyddo cân y nef.
O! Arglwydd, dyro hedd,
A gras i'th garu di,
Nes caffael gweld dy wedd
Yng nghwmni'r
saint sydd fry.
cyf. David Lewis (Ap Ceredigion) 1870-1948
Tonau [6666]: |
We love thy house, God,
Where thy great name is,
And here we experience
The greatest joy of the earth.
A house of prayer it is,
Why thy children come together,
And thou, God of heaven,
Art in our midst always.
We love, our Father,
The holy baptistry of thy house
Where free blessings are to be had
Of the Spirit from above.
The sacred altar is
Forever dear to us,
Where the eye of faith finds
Thy presence.
We love our Father's book,
Which is publishing peace,
And help in the battle,
And life beyond the grave.
We love the song of the earth
About his mercy,
We long for the hour when
We may expand the song of heaven.
O Lord, grant peace,
And grace to love thee,
Until getting to see thy face
In the company of the
saints who are above.
tr. 2019 Richard B Gillion

We love the place, O God,
Wherein Thine honour dwells;
The joy of Thine abode
All earthly joy excels.
It is the house of prayer
Wherein Thy servants meet;
And Thou, O Lord, art there
Thy chosen flock to greet.
We love the sacred font;
For there the holy Dove
To pour is ever wont
His blessings from above.
We love Thine altar, Lord;
Oh, what on earth so dear?
For there, in faith adored
We find Thy presence near.
We love the Word of life,
The Word that tells of peace,
Of comfort in the strife,
And joys that never cease.
We love to sing below
For mercies freely giv'n;
But, oh, we long to know
The triumph song of Heav'n.
Lord Jesus, give us grace
On earth to love Thee more,
In Heav'n to see Thy face,
And with Thy
saints adore.
