Iesu, dyro Dy amddiffyn,
Tra fwy'n crwydro'r anial maith,
Rhag im' gael fy llwyr ddifetha
Cyn cyrhaeddyd pen fy nhaith:
Nid oes arall
All fy nghymorth ond Dy hun.
Pan fo stormydd temtasiynau
Amgylch ogylch yn crynhoi,
Bydd wrth law yn noddfa barod
Fel y gallwyf atat droi;
Yn Dy gysgod
Byddaf yn ddïogel byth.
A phan ddelwyf i wynebu
Ar diriogaeth brenin braw,
N'ad i'm calon egwan ballu,
Rho im' afael yn Dy law:
Ti gei'r moliant
Byth am hyn yr ochor draw.
David Rowlands (Dewi Môn) 1836-1907
Tôn [878747]: Bryn Calfaria |
Jesus, grant thy protection,
While ever I wander the vast desert,
Lest I get completely destroyed
Before reaching my journey's end:
There is no other
Who can help me but thyself.
When the storms of temptations be
Around encircling gathering,
Be at hand as a ready refuge
That I may turn to thee;
In thy shadow
I shall be safe forever.
And when I come to face
On the territory of the king of terror,
Let not my weak heart fail,
Grant me to hold thy hand:
Thou shalt get the praise
Forever for this on yonder side.
tr. 2023 Richard B Gillion
