Mi fûm mewn ofnau mawr

  Mi fûm mewn ofnau mawr
    Yn llefain ar fy Nuw,
  A'r gelyn yntau'n d'weyd
    Nas gallwn byth fael byw;
Ond daeth trugaredd oddidraw,
A hi ymaflodd yn fy llaw.

  A phan y de's fel hyn
    Dan law trugaredd rad,
  Mi gefnais ar y byd,
    A thro'is i dŵ fy Nhad:
Yn iach i holl bleserau'r byd,
Yn ngwleddoedd Seion mae fy mryd.

efallai efylychiad o   |   perhaps an emulation of
Mi fûm mewn ofnau mawr
  Yn ymbil ar y nef

I was in great fears
  Crying out for my God,
And the enemy himself saying
  That I would never get to live;
But mercy came from yonder,
And it took hold of my hand.

And when I came like this
  Under the hand of free mercy,
I turned my back on the world,
  And turned to my Father's house:
As healed from all the pleasures of the world
In the feasts of Zion is my interest.
