Ein Duw ymddangosodd mewn cnawd
A wisgodd holl natur y dyn,
Y Cyfaill anwylach nâ brawd,
Ei gariad melysach nâ'r gwîn;
A'i wyneb mil
harddarch nâ'r wawr,
Ei aberth mwy gwerthfawr
nâ'r byd;
Fe dalodd bob dyled i lawr,
Fe groeswyd y 'sgrifen i gyd.
Fel fflammau angerddol o dân
Yw cariad f'Anwylyd i ddyn;
Fe losgodd bob rhwystr o'i fla'n,
Fe yfodd o'r afon ei hun:
Ymaflodd mewn dyn ar y llawr,
Fe'i dygodd â'r
Duwdod yn un;
A'r pellder oedd
rhyngddynt mor fawr
A lanwodd â'i haeddiant ei hun.
Fe goeswyd y 'sgrifen :: Fe groesodd 'r ysgrifau

Tonau [8888D]: |
Our God appeared in flesh
And wore the whole nature of man,
The Friend dearer than a brother,
His love sweeter than the wine;
And his face a thousand times
more beautiful than the dawn,
His sacrifice more precious
than the world;
He paid every debt down,
The bill was cancelled altogether.
Like intense flames of fire
Is the love of my Beloved for man;
It burned every obstacle before it,
He drank from the river himself:
He flung himself in man to the ground,
He brought him with the
Godhead to be one;
And the distance that was
between them so great
He filled with his own merit.
The bill was cancelled :: He cancelled the bills tr. 2018 Richard B Gillion |
