O Arglwydd da, mor hyfryd yw
Gwel'd torf i'th foli di yn fyw,
Gan alw arnat yn dy dŷ,
A dysgu'r ffordd i'r nefoedd fry.
Bum yn eu mysg, 'r oedd ger fy mròn
Nef fechan ar y ddaear hon:
Na boed i'r hudol fywyd rhydd
Wneud imi fyth anghofio'r dydd.
Dirmygu gwerthfawr air y ffydd
Yw'r weithred annuwiolaf sydd;
Pwy, ond yr
adyn cyndyn cas,
A wrthyd Grist,
a gwleddoedd grâs?
O! Dduw'r tiriondeb, ar bob tro,
Argraffa d'eiriau ar fy ngho';
Fel na throseddwyf unrhyw bryd,
Ond dysgu'th garu'n well o hyd.
Dyrchafer fy holl serch,
a'm bryd,
Uwchlaw i bethau gweigion byd:
Dymunwyf 'nabod Brenin Nef,
Rhodio a gorphwys gydag Ef.
Ei nabod ef yn well o hyd
Tra yma'n rhodio daear fyd;
Nes cyrhaedd uwch pob poen a gwae;
I'w fythol weled fel y mae.
Os îs fy nghan nâ'r seintiau sy
Yn seinio'r feirniol anthem fry,
Ein testyn hyfryd sydd yn un;
Sef dwyfol gariad Mab y Dyn.
Dyrchafer fy holl serch :: Dyrchafer mwy fy serch Dymunwyf 'nabod :: O! am gael 'nabod
cyf. Dafydd Jones 1711-77
Tonau [MH 8888]: |
O good Lord, how delightful it is
To see a throng to thy praise living,
While calling upon thee in thy house,
And learning the way to heaven above.
I was amongst them, before me was
A little heaven on this earth:
May the free, charming life, not
Make me ever forget the day.
Scorning the precious word of faith
Is the most ungodly action there is;
Who, but the
stubborn, detestable scoundrel,
Shall reject Christ,
and the feasts of grace?
O God of the mercifulness, at every turn,
Impress thy words on my memory;
That I not trespass at any time,
But learn to love thee better always.
All my affection be raised,
and my intention,
Above the empty things of the world:
I wish to know the King of Heaven,
To walk and rest with Him.
To know him better always
While here walking the ground of the world;
Until arriving above all pain and woe;
To see him forever as he is.
If lower my song than the saints who are
Sounding the privileged anthem above,
Our delightful theme is the same;
That is the love of the Son of Man.
All my affection be raised :: My affection be raised evermore I wish to know :: O, to get to know tr. 2015 Richard B Gillion |
Lord, how delightful 'tis to see
A whole assembly worship thee!
At once they sing, at once they pray;
They hear of heaven, and learn the way.
I have been there, and still would go
'Tis like a little heaven below!
Not all my pleasure and my play
Should tempt me to forget this day.
O write upon my memory, Lord,
The text and doctrines of thy Word,
That I may break thy laws no more,
But love thee better than before!
With thoughts of Christ
and things divine
Fill up this foolish heart of mine:
That, hoping pardon through his blood,
I may lie down, and wake with God.
