O'th fawr drugaredd, Arglwydd cu, Gâd fi y flwyddyn hon, Er mwyn yr un sydd heddyw fry Yn eiriol ger dy fron. Ffigysbren ddiffrwyth iawn fûm i, Yn haeddu 'nhorri lawr; Er hyn fy arbed wnaethost ti, Er mwyn yr Iesu mawr. Rho'ist amser imi droi a byw O'th rad drugaredd, Ior; O bded i'm calon doddi'n glau Mewn dagrau wrth dy ddôr. O! Ffrind yr edifeiriol, gwel Fi'n gorwedd wrth dy groes; Arhosaf yma, doed a ddel, Nes dofir pob rhyw loes. Rho i mi brofi cymod rhad, Er mwyn y gwaed, O Dduw! Ac o dy fawr drugaredd gâd I wrthryfelwr fyw.cyf. John Bryan 1776-1856 Tôn [MC 8686]: Burford (Salmydd Chetham 1718) gwelir: Ffigysbren ddiffrwyth iawn fum i |
Of thy great mercy, dear Lord, Leave me this year, For the sake the one who is today above Interceding before Thee. A very fruitless fig tree was I, Deserving my cutting down; Despite this thou didst save me, For the sake of great Jesus. Thou gavest me time to turn and live Of thy free mercy, Master; O may my heart melt quickly In tears at thy door. O Friend of the repentant, see Me lying at thy cross! I shall stay here, come what may, Until every kind of anguish be tamed. Grant me to experience free reconciliation, For the sake of the blood, O God! And of thy great mercy, let A rebel live.tr. 2025 Richard B Gillion |
Let me alone another year In honour of thy Son, Who doth my Advocate appear Before thy gracious throne: Thou hast vouchsafed a longer space, And spared the barren tree, Because for me my Saviour prays, And pleads his death for me. Time to repent thou dost bestow; But O the power impart! And let my eyes with tears o'erflow, And break my stubborn heart! To-day, while it is called to-day, The hindering thing remove; And lo, I now begin to pray And wrestle for thy love! I now from all my sins would turn To my atoning God; And look on him I pierced, and mourn, And feel the sprinkled blood; Would nail my passions to the cross, Where my Redeemer died; And all things count but dung and loss, For Jesus crucified. Giver of penitential pain, Before thy cross I lie, In grief determined to remain, Till thou thy blood apply. Forgiveness on my conscience seal, Bestow thy promised rest; With purest love thy servant fill, And number with the blest.Charles Wesley 1707-88 [Metre: DCM 8686D] |
