Pan syllaf ar y ryfedd groes
Lle trengodd hardd Dywysog Hedd
Rwy'n cyfri'n ddim
holl gyfoeth oes,
A cholled yw pob bydol wledd.
Na foed i mi ymffrostio'n awr
Heb law yn angeu Crist Ei hun:
Y pethau pennaf fedd y llawr,
Aberthaf hwynt i'w ddwyfol rîn.
cyf. David Thomas (Dafydd Ddu o Eryri) 1759-1822
Tôn [MH 8888]: St Crispin (George J Elvey 1816-93) |
When I star at the wonderful cross
Where the beautiful Prince of Peace died
I am counting as nothing
all the wealth of an age,
And loss is every earthly feast.
May I not boast now
Except in the death of Christ himself:
The chief things the earth possesses,
I sacrifice them to his divine merit.
tr. 2020 Richard B Gillion

When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain
I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ my God!
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.
