Oen Duw dan ystormydd o frad,
Orffennodd y gwaith ar y Bryn;
O'i gleisiau daw inni iachād,
Ei waed wna'n gynau yn wyn:
Ein hachub yw coron ein creu,
Uchelfan yr arfaeth yw'r groes;
Ni all myrdd o oesau ddileu
Hawddgarwch yr Ieu'n ei loes.
Er chwewed fu cwpan yr ardd
O ing Gethsemane daeth cān:
I ninnau llawenydd a dardd
O'r ffydd werthfawrusach
drwy'r tān;
Gwell goddef ceryddon y Tad
Na cholli am byth weld ei wedd:
Treialon berffeithia'n glanhad;
Mae nefoedd tu arall i'r bedd.
Howell Elvet Lewis (Elfed) 1860-1953
Tonau [8888D]: |
The Lamb of God under storms of betrayal,
Finished the work on the hill;
From his wounds comes to us healing,
His blood makes our robes white:
Saving us is the crown of our creation,
The high-point of the plan is the cross;
Not a myriad of ages can delete
The beauty of Jesus in his anguish.
Despite how bitter was the garden's cup,
From the agony of Gethsemane came a song:
To us joy sprang
From the more precious faith
through the fire;
Better to suffer the rebukes of the Father
Than to lose forever seeing his face:
'Tis trials that perfect our cleansing;
Heaven is on the other side of the grave.
tr. 2025 Richard B Gillion
