Mi âf trwy'r Iorddonen arw,
Anturiaf wrthwynebu'r don -
Pob temtasiwn gaffo'm nwydau
Gan wrthddrychau'r ddaear hon,
Ond it sefyll wrth fy ochr,
Ond it 'maflyd yn fy llaw;
Ti gei'r clod,
ti gei'r gogoniant,
Oll yn oll yr ochr draw.
Na'd y cenllysg i fy nghuro -
Grym fy mhleser, a fy chwant,
Ac i yru d'Ysbryd sanctaidd,
A'i awelon pûr i bant:
Gwna 'nghydwybod
ynwy'n danllwyth,
Na ddioddefwyf ddim o'r bai,
Ag sy'n gwneuthur oriau 'mywyd
Fel rhyw oes o edifarhau.
'Rwy'n hiraethu am yr oriau
Pan y caffwy'n nhraed yn rhydd;
Dyna jubil fy nghysuron -
Dyna ngwaredigol ddydd;
Dyna wledd 'rwy'n brefu am dani,
Pan na byddo pechod mwy
I ladrata'r meddwl lleiaf,
Nac i roddi i mi glwy'.
Tyred, Ysbryd sancteiddiolaf,
A glanhâ dy dŷ dy hun,
Lladd y beiau yn fy natur
O'r boreuddydd
sydd ynglỳn;
Dwg dy eiddo i maes o'r pydew,
Minnau, ond cael myn'd yn rhydd,
A'th foliannaf
tra fo anadl
Am fy ngwaredigol ddydd.

Tonau [8787D]: gwelir: Dyred Ysbryd sancteiddiolaf N'âd y cenllysg i fy nghuro |
I will go through the rough Jordan,
I will venture withstanding the wave -
Every temptation which my lusts have
From the objects of this earth,
Only stand thou by my side,
Only seize thou my hand;
Thou will get the praise,
thou wilt get the glory,
All in all on the far side.
Do not let the hailstones strike me -
The force of my pleasure, and my desire,
Or drive thy holy Spirit,
And his pure breezes away:
Make my conscience
within me a conflagration,
I shall not suffer any of the fault,
Which is making the hours of my life
Like some age of regret.
I am longing for the hours
When I may get my feet free;
That is the jubilee of my comforts -
That is my deliverance day;
That is the feast I am bleating for,
When there will be no more sin
To steal the least thought,
Nor to give me a wound.
Come, holiest Spirit,
And cleanse thou thy own house,
Kill the sins in my nature
From the dawn of day
to which it belongs;
Draw thine own out of the pit,
I myself, if I but get to go free,
Shall praise thee as long
as there is breath
For my deliverance day.
tr. 2015 Richard B Gillion
