O f'enaid cân i'th Briod glân,
Dod allan ei ogoniant;
Ac na fydd drist, mae genyt dyst,
Fod Iesu Grist i'th feddiant.
O cwn dy lef at Dduw i'r nef,
Dy Dad yw Ef i'th wrando;
A'r Iesu pur yw'th Frawd yn wir,
Fu'n dyoddef cur i'th safio.
Mae Ysbryd cun fy Nuw ei hun
Yn rhoi it' win dy lonaid;
A llawer gwledd tu yma i'r bedd
O rinwedd mawr i'r enaid.
Cei hefyd, clyw,
tra f'och di byw
Angylion Duw i'th wylio;
Nac ofna ŵg y ddraig na'i drwg,
Can's Duw a'm dwg hyd ato.
Er bod yn was i bechod cas,
Mae mawr Berthynas iti;
Nac ofna, paid, mae'r Nef o'th blaid,
Yn wir nid rhaid it' ofni.
Bydd lawen, dos, serch goddef loes,
Yn mlaen â'r Groes,
cei groeso;
A goddef wawd er mwyn dy Frawd,
Tra yn y cnawd yn rhodio.
Fe ddaw rhyddhad,
cei fyn'd i'r wlad
Lle mae dy Dad yn tario;
Yn fawr dy fraint i blith y saint,
Gwyn fyd pa faint ęl yno.
Rho foliant fyth
tra ynot chwyth,
Cei fyn'd i blith angylion;
O! f'enaid, dod yn glir fawr glod
I Grist, dy Briod tirion.
O nefoedd wen, deffrowch uwchben:—
O'r ddae'r i'r nen yn union
Wyf finau'n hy' 'n dod atoch chwi
I foli Iesu tirion.
William Williams 1717-91Caniadau ei Ieuengctyd [Mesur: MS 8787] |
O my soul, sing to thy holy Spouse,
Set forth his glory;
And be not sad, thou hast a witness,
That Jesus Christ is thy possession.
O raise thy cry toward God to heaven,
Thy Father is he to listen to thee;
And the pure Jesus is thy Brother truly,
Who suffered wounding to save thee.
The dear Spirit of my God himself is
Giving to thee wine to cheer thee;
And many a feast this side of the grave
From great merit to thy soul.
Thou shalt also get to hear,
while ever thou livest,
The angels of God to watch thee;
Fear not the dragon's frown nor its evil,
Since God bring me unto him.
Although a servant to detestable sin,
There is a great Relative for thee;
Do not fear, no, heaven is on thy side,
Truly there is no need for thee to fear.
Be joyful, go, despite suffering anguish,
Forward, take the cross,
thou shalt get a welcome;
And suffer scorn for thy Brother's sake,
While walking in the flesh.
Freedom shall come,
thou shalt get to go to the land
Where thy Father is waiting;
Great thy privilege amongst the saints,
Blessed are however many go there.
Give praise forever
while there be breath in thee,
Thou shalt get to go amongst angels;
O my soul, render clearly great acclaim
To Christ, thy tender Spouse.
O blessed heaven, awake up above:-
From the earth to the sky directly
I am boldly calling on you
To praise tender Jesus.
tr. 2023 Richard B Gillion
