I'r nefoedd fry'r aeth Iesu gwiw,
Ynddo gobeithiodd Israel Duw,
Palmantodd ffordd i'r enaid blin
O'r ddae'r i fyny ato'i hun.
Y ffordd yr aeth prophwydi 'mlaen,
A'r mil myrddiynau
fu'n y tân;
Sŵn torf aneirif
eilwaith cawn
Ni glywed arni'n beraidd iawn.
Ffordd sanctaidd, bur, heb och na gwae,
Nas teithia neb annuwiol rai;
Gormesol ddyn 'rhyd hon ni ddaw,
A llew nis dring
i'r nefoedd draw.
Crediniol ryw a gafodd ras,
O'r cystudd mawr i dd'od i maes,
Yw'r gwaredigion mwynion cu,
Sy'n ffoi 'rhyd ffordd
Caersalem fry.
Y pererinion glewion, glân,
Nid ofnant byth na dŵr na thân,
Dieithriaid ar y ddaear ddu
Sy'n teithio
tu'a'r Ganaan fry.
A phe ynfydion fyddent hwy,
Ni chaent ddim cyfeiliorni mwy;
Hwy ânt yn mlaen,
trwy rin y gwaed,
Nes dod dan wlith
yr hyfryd wlad.
Fy Nghrist yw'r drws i'r nefoedd draw,
A'm seren dêg, i'm harwain daw;
Ysgol fy Nuw
o'r ddae'r i'r nen,
I ddringo o'r llawr
tu fewn i'r llen.
Ac fe balmentodd ffordd ddigryn
William Williams 1717-91
Tonau [MH 8888]:
Tôn [MHD 8888D]: |
To heaven above went worthy Jesus,
In him the Israel of God hoped,
He paved a way for the weary soul
From the earth up to him himself.
The way the prophets went along,
And the thousand myriads
who were in the fire;
The sound of an innumerable throng
again we may get
Never heard upon it very sweetly.
A holy, pure way, without groan or woe,
That no ungodly sort shall travel;
No oppressive man shall come along it,
And no lion shall climb
to yonder heaven.
The believing kind who got grace,
From the great tribulation to come out,
Are the dear, fond delivered ones,
Who are fleeing along the road
of Jerusalem above.
The valiant, holy pilgrims
Shall never fear either water or fire,
Strangers on the black earth
Who are travelling
towards the Canaan above.
And if they were fools,
They shall get to wander no more;
They shall go forward,
through the merit of the blood,
Until coming under the dew
of the delightful land.
My Christ is the door to yonder heaven,
And my fair star, coming to lead me;
The ladder of my God
from the earth to the sky,
To climb from the ground
within the curtain.
And he paved an unshakeable way tr. 2019 Richard B Gillion |
