Duw, llefara wrth fy ysbryd
Air yn ddirgel er Dy glod;
Dan y gwres ac yn y gofid
Nerth i'r egwan wyt erio'd.
Dyro imi aden eryr
I hedeg tua'r Ganaan wlad,
A ffyddiog undeb â Dy berson
Sydd uwch cyrraedd
cig a gwa'd.
Nid oes gennyf ond Dy hunan
Yn Arweinydd ffyddlon im;
Dan Dy gysgod mae fy noddfa
Yn y storom fwya'i grym.
Cadw 'ngolwg ar yr hafan
Lle mae'm tynfa, doed a ddêl;
Tiroedd hyfryd yr addewid,
Gwlad yn llifo o laeth a mêl.
Yn y dyfroedd mawr a'r tonnau
Nid oes neb a ddal fy mhen
Ond fy annwyl briod Iesu
A fu farw ar y pren:
Cyfaill yw yn afon angau
A ddal fy mhen-i uwch y don:
Golwg arno wna imi ganu
Yn yr afon ddofon hon.
O fy enaid, disgwyl ronyn!
Paid er dim â llwfwrhau!
Er mynd trwy lawer brwydyr galed
Mae'r frwydyr olaf yn nesáu.
Caf gyfarfod a'm cyd-filwyr
Aeth trwy'r frwydyr o fy mla'n,
Yn seinio'r hyfryd fuddugoliaeth
O un galon ar un gân.
1782 Dafydd William 1720-94
Tôn [8787D]: Alexander (John Roberts 1806-79) gwelir: Iesu cyfaill pechaduriaid Milwyr Sion cym'rwn galon Nid oes genyf ond dy hunan Yn y dyfroedd mawr a'r tonnau |
God, speak to my spirit
A word in secret for Thy praise;
Under the heat and in the trouble
Strength to the weak art thou ever.
Give me an eagle's wings
To fly to the Cannaan land,
And trusting union with Thy person
Which is above the reach
of flesh and blood.
I have nothing but Thyself
As a faithful Leader to me;
Under thy shadow is my refuge
In the strongest storm.
Keep me sight on the haven
Where I am drawn, come what may;
Pleasant lands of the promise,
A land flowing with milk and honey.
In the great waters and the breakers
There is nothing which holds my head
But my dear husband Jesus
Who died on the tree:
A friend he is in the river of death
Who holds my head above the wave:
The sight of him makes me sing
In this deep river.
O my soul, wait for a while!
Do not for anything be discouraged!
Although going through many a hard battle
The last battle is drawing near.
I may meet with my fellow-soldiers
Who went through the battle before me,
Sounding the pleasant victory
Of one heart on one song.
tr. 2008 Richard B Gillion
