O! aros gyda mi,
y mae'n hwyrhau,
A'r nos, fy Nuw, o'm cylch
sy'n cyflym gau;
Pan gollir cymorth eraill,
O! bydd Di,
Cynhorthwy'r gwan,
yn aros gyda mi.
Ar fuan drai i'w derfyn
mae fy nydd,
Ni'm denau'r byd:
ei swyn yn cilio sydd;
Troi'n hen a gwyw mae'r
cwbwl o'm hamgylch i;
Ti'r Digyfnewid Un,
bydd gyda mi.
Mae arnaf eisiau d'ŵyneb
Di bob awr,
Beth ond dy ras
orchfyga'r temtiwr mawr?
Pwy'm harwain i,
a'm cynnal, fel Tydi?
Drwy law a hindda,
aros gyda mi.
Nid ofnaf neb
pan fyddych Di gerllaw,
Ni theimlaf ingoedd
chwerw boen a braw:
Pa le mae'r bedd a
colyn angeu hy?
Fe'u concraf, ond it
aros gyda mi.
Rho weld dy Groes
pan ddelo f'oes i ben,
Drwy'r niwl goleua'r ffordd
a'm dwg i'r nen;
Diflanna'r byd, mae'r wawr
yn torri fry,
Wrth fyw, wrth farw,
aros gyda mi.
cyf. Richard Samuel Rogers 1882-1950
Tôn [10.10.10.10]: Eventide (William H Monk 1823-89) |
O abide with me,
it is growing late,
And the night, my God, around me
is quickly closing;
When the help of others is lost,
O be thou,
Helper of the weak,
abiding with me.
Soon to its end ebbing
is my day,
The world does not attract me:
its charm is retreating;
Turning old and withering is
all around me;
Thou the unchanging One,
be with me.
I have need of thy face
every hour,
What but thy grace
shall overcome the great tempter?
Who shall lead me,
and uphold me, like thou?
Through rain and storm,
abide with me.
I shall fear no-one
when thou art at hand,
I shall not feel the pangs
of bitter pain and terror:
Where is the grave and
the sting of boasting death?
I shall conquer them, if only thou
abide with me.
Grant me to see thy cross
when my life comes to its end,
Through the fog light the way
and bring me to the sky;
The world vanishes, the dawn is
breaking above,
While living, while dying,
abide with me.
tr. 2021 Richard B Gillion

Abide with me!
Fast falls the eventide,
The darkness deepens —
Lord, with me abide!
When other helpers fail,
and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless,
oh, abide with me!
Swift to its close
ebbs out life's little day;
Earth's joys grow dim,
its glories pass away;
Change and decay
in all around I see;
O thou, who changest not,
abide with me!
I need thy presence
every passing hour,
What but thy grace
can foil the tempter's power?
Who, like thyself,
my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine,
oh, abide with me!
I fear no foe
with Thee at hand to bless:
Ills have no weight,
and tears no bitterness.
Where is death’s sting?
Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if
Thou abide with me.
Hold thou thy cross
before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom,
and point me to the skies;
Heaven's morning breaks,
and earth's vain shadows flee!
In life, in death, O Lord,
abide with me!
Henry Francis Lyte 1793-1847
