Tydi a garaf, Arglwydd nef,
Fy ngraig, fy nhŵr, fy noddfa gref;
Rho'f ar d'alluog fraich fy mhwys;
Trwy hon ce's iachawdwriaeth ddwys.
Angau, a dychrynfeydd y bedd,
Amgylchant fi mewn echrys wedd;
A'r llif o demtasiynau mawr,
Nes soddi f'enaid gwan i lawr.
Mi welais byrth uffernol ffau,
Lle mae wylofain byth a gwae;
Ni ddichon neb dd'weud dosted yw,
Ond y damnedig sy 'no 'n byw.
Yn fy nghyfyngder gelwais Dduw,
Braidd gall'swn dd'weud, Fy eiddo yw;
Gostyngai 'i glust i
wrando'm cwyn,
A'i ras amlygodd i mi 'n fwyn.
Mewn brys i'm cadw 'hedeg wnaeth,
Fel cerub ar adenydd daeth;
Fel mellten, dysglaer
iawn a syn
Oedd gwedd f'Achubwr,
Duw, bryd hyn.

Thou I shall love, Lord of heaven,
My rock, my tower, my strong refuge;
I will lean on thy mighty arm;
Through this I got intense salvation.
Death, and the terrors of the grave,
They surround me in a dreadful countenance;
And the flood of great temptations,
Until my weak soul sinks down.
I saw the gates of a hellish lair,
Where there is weeping forever and woe;
No-one is able to say how painful it is
But the damned who are living there.
In my straits I called on God,
I could almost say, My own it is;
He bowed his ear to
listen to my complaint,
And his grace he multiplied to me gently.
Quickly to save me fly he did,
Like a cherub on wings he came;
Like lightning, very
bright and surprising
Was the countenance of my Saviour,
God, then.

Thee will I love, O Lord, my strength,
My rock, my tower, my high defence:
Thy mighty arm shall be my trust,
For I have found salvation thence.
Death, and the terrors of the grave,
Stood round me with their dismal shade;
While floods of high temptations rose,
And made my sinking soul afraid.
I saw the op'ning gates of hell,
With endless pains and sorrows there,
Which none but they that feel can tell;
While I was hurried to despair.
In my distress I called my God,
When I could scarce believe him mine:
He bowed his ear
to my complaint,
Then did his grace appear divine.
With speed he flew to my relief,
As on a cherub's wing he rode;
Awful and bright
as lightning shone
The face of my
deliverer, God.
