O am deimlo cariad Iesu Yn ein tynnu ar ei waith, Cariad cryf i gadw'i eiriau Nes in gyrraedd pen ein taith; Cariad fwrio ofnau allan, Drygau cedyrn rhagddo'n ffoi Fel na allo gallu'r fagddu Beri inni'n ôl i droi. Ennyn ynom fflam angerddol O rywogaeth nefol dân Fel y gallom ddweud yn ebrwydd - Gwyddost bopeth, Arglwydd glân; Gwyddost ein bod ni'n dy garu, O am fedru caru'n fwy, Caru fel trigolion gwynfyd, Caru'n hyfryd megis hwy. Joseph Harris (Gomer) 1773-1825 Tôn [8787D]: Eifionydd (J Ambrose Lloyd 1815-74) |
O to feel the love of Jesus Drawing us into his work, A strong love to keep his words Until we reach our journey's end; A love to cast out fears, Steadfast evils from it to flee So that no intense darkness can Continue to turn us back. Kindle in us a zealous flame Of a kind of heavenly fire So that we may say without hesitation - Thou knowest everything, pure Lord; Thou knowest that we love thee, O to be able to love thee more, Love like the inhabitants of blessedness, Love delightfully like they. tr. 2009 Richard B Gillion |
