Mae'r Athraw'n ein galw

Mae'r Athraw'n ein galw
    i'w ddilyn yn foreu -
O bawb ar y ddaear
    Efe yw y goreu;
  Ei ffyrdd sy'n hyfrydwch
      i bawb sy'n eu teithio,
  A'i eiriau yn felus
      i bawb sydd yn gweithio.

Mae'r Athraw'n ei galw
    i gadw rhag pechu;
Mae'n addaw Ei gymorth
    i bawb fo'n ymdrechu:
  Mae'n gwybod am danam,
      mae drosom yn eiriol
  A gwrendy'n y nefoedd
      ar gri'r edifeiriol.

Mae'r Athraw'n ein galw:
    pwy iddo sy'n plygu?
Wrth blygu i'r Iesu
    cawn râs i orchfygu:
  Bu Yntau yn ufudd
    i'w Dad a'i orchmynion, -
  Am hynny mae heddyw
      yn Frenin i ddynion!

Mae'r Athraw'n ein galw
    i ffordd gostyngeiddrwydd,
I fyw i ddaioni,
    i garu sancteiddrwydd;
  I Athraw mor dirion,
      O! rhown ein calonnau -
  Rhyw foreu cawn dderbyn
      o'i law ein coronau.
Howell Elvet Lewis (Elfed) 1860-1953

Tôn [12.12.12.12]: Mae'r Athraw'n Ein Galw
    (1898 D Emlyn Evans 1843-1913)

The Teacher is calling us
    to follow him in the morning -
Of all on the earth
    He is the best;
  His ways are delightful
      for all who travel them,
  And his words sweet
      to all who are working.

The Teacher is calling us
    to keep from sinning;
He promises us his help
    for all who may be struggling:
  He knows about us,
      for us he is interceding
  And listens in heaven
      to the cry of the repentant.

The Teacher is calling us:
    who to him is bowing?
On bowing to Jesus
    we get grace to overcome:
  He himself was obedient
      to his Father and his commands, -
  Therefore he is today
      a King to men!

The Teacher is calling us
    to the way of submission,
To live for goodness,
    to love holiness;
  To a Teacher so tender,
      O let us give our hearts -
  Some morning we shall receive
      from his hand our crowns.
tr. 2025 Richard B Gillion
