O Arglwydd, 'rwy'n cyfadde'n brudd
Fod perygl imi golli'r dydd:
Mae modd i'r halen
golli'i flas,
A minau syrthio oddiwrth ras.
Rhag byth i hyn gymeryd lle,
O cynal f'enaid hyd y ne':
Mewn undeb ffydd
bob dydd, O Dad,
Dal fi â'th iachawdwriaeth rad.

O Lord, I am confessing sadly
There is a danger of my losing the day:
There is a way for the salt
to lose its taste,
And for me to fall from grace.
Lest this ever take place,
O support my soul as far as heaven:
In the unity of faith
every day, O Father,
Hold me with thy gracious salvation.
tr. 2020 Richard B Gillion

Ah Lord, with trembling I confess,
A gracious soul may fall from grace;
The salt may lose
its seasoning power,
And never, never, find it more.
Lest that my fearful case should be,
Each moment knit my soul to thee;
And lead me to
the mount above,
Through the low vale of humble love.
Charles Wesley 1707-88
