Mae'm rhedfa is y rhod,
Yn nesu at y nod;
I'm hymdaith hon, is awyr gron,
Mae diwedd bron a d'od:
Fy mhabell frau sydd yn llesghau,
Ac yn gwanhau o hyd;
Ac yn y màn, daw'r amser pan
Bydd f'enaid gwan yn fywiol ran
Mewn annherfynol fyd.
O, Dduw! rho im' dy hedd,
A golwg ar dy wedd;
A maddeu'n awr fy meiau mawr,
Cyn 'r'elwy'i lawr i'r bedd:
Ond i'm gael hyn nid ofna'i'r glyn,
Na cholyn angeu'n hwy;
Dof yn dy law i'r ochr draw,
Heb friw na braw, ryw ddydd a ddaw,
Uwchlaw pob loes a chlwy'.
Fy ngobaith dan bob croes
Yw'r Iawn! - yr Iawn a roes
Ein Meichiau pur can hoelion dur -
Ei lafur Ef a'i loes:
Pan ddelo'r pryd, daw'r saint ynghyd
I wynfyd y nef wen,
Dadseiniant lef peroriaeth gref,
Drwy nef y nef! Boed iddo Ef
Y mawl, a'r clod," Amen!

Tonau [6686.86886]: gwelir: Fy ngobaith dan bob croes O Dduw rho im' dy hedd Un aberth mwy nid oes |
My race beneath the vault, is
Approaching its target;
For this my journey, under a round sky,
The end has almost come:
My fragile tent is growing feeble,
And weakening still;
And soon, shall come the time when
My weak soul shall be a lively part
In a boundless world.
O God, give me thy peace!
And a view upon thy countenance;
And forgive now my great faults,
Before I go down to the grave:
If I but get this, I shall not fear the vale,
Nor the sting of death any longer;
I shall come in thy hand to yonder side,
Without bruise or terror, some coming day,
Above every anguish and wound.
My hope under every cross
Is the Atonement! - the Atonement he gave
Our pure Surety under steel nails -
His labour and his anguish:
When the time comes, the saints shall come together
To the blessedness of the bright heaven,
They will resound with a strong voice of harmony,
Throughout the heaven of heaven! Be to Him
The praise, and the acclaim," Amen!
tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion

My race beneath the sun
Is very nearly run;
Life fades away in sad decay,
Soon shall my day be done:
My fragile tent is sorely rent,
My strength is spent well-nigh;
The hour is near--I must appear
In doubt and fear within the clear
Immortal sphere on high.
Grant, Lord, Thy peace to me,
And Thy dear face to see;
Before my day has passed away,
All sinless may I be!
Thy gracious light in death's dark night
Shall soon my fright dispel:
In Thy right hand on yonder strand,
Where fears disband my soul shall stand -
Sweet land! where all is well!
