O! am nerth i ddilyn Iesu,
Yn ein gyrfa drwy y byd;
Cadw'i air ac anrydeddu
Ei orch'mynion glân i gyd;
Dilyn Iesu,
Dyma nefoedd teulu Duw.
Cafodd bedydd fawredd bythol
Yn ei ymostyngiad llawn;
Ninnau, ar ei air, yn wrol,
Ar ei ôl drwy'r dyfroedd awn;
Dilyn Iesu,
Dyma nefoedd teulu Duw.
Er fod rhiwiau serth i'w dringo
Gyda'i gariad i'n cryfhau;
Ysgafn yw ei faich i'w gario,
Ysgafn, esmwyth yw yr iau:
Dilyn Iesu,
Dyma nefoedd teulu Duw.
Y mae llwybrau ei orchmynion,
Er holl rwystrau'r
anial du,
Yn cyfeirio'r pererinion
I'r trigfannau dedwydd fry;
Dilyn Iesu,
Dyma nefoedd teulu Duw.

Tonau [878747]: |
O for strength to follow Jesus,
In our course through the world;
Keeping his word and honouring
His all his pure commands;
Following Jesus,
Here is the heaven of God's family.
He received a baptism of everlasting greatness
In his full submission;
We, on his word, bravely,
Following him through the waters let us go;
Following Jesus,
Here is the heaven of God's family.
Although there are steep hills to climb
With his love to strengthen us;
Light is his burden to carry,
Light, smooth is the yoke:
Following Jesus,
Here is the heaven of God's family.
The paths of his commandments are,
Despite all the obstacles
of the black desert,
Directing the pilgrims
To the happy habitations above;
Following Jesus,
Here is the heaven of God's family.
tr. 2009,10 Richard B Gillion
