Pwy sydd yn galw â llais more dosturiol
Arnat, fy mrawd,
mewn peryglon di ri?
Iesu'r Hwn gynt a leferai'n wastadol
Wrth Ei ddisgyblion
y gair, "Dilyn Fi."
Pan fo plesurau
yn hudo dy galon,
Tithau fel deilen
ar ymchwydd y lli,
Dos ato Ef, ac fe'th
wared yn union,
Ond i ti wrando
y gair, "Dilyn Fi."
Ti'r Hwn oddefaist
ofidiau marwolaeth
Dros bechaduriaid ar fryn Calfari,
Dysg in' gysegru ein hoes
i'th wasanaeth,
A rhoi ufudd-dod i'r
gair, "Dilyn Fi."
efel. David Rowlands (Dewi Môn) 1836-1907
Tôn [11.10.11.10]: Dilyn Fi / Jesus is Calling |
Who is calling with a voice so merciful
Upon thee, my brother,
in countless perils?
Jesus the one who once called constantly
To his disciples
the word, "Follow me."
When pleasures be
charming thy heart,
Thou like a leaf
on the swell of the flood,
God to him, and he will
deliver thee directly,
If only thou listen
to the word, "Follow me."
Thou who didst suffer
the griefs of death
For sinners on the hill of Calvary,
Teach us to consecrate our life
to thy service,
And give obedience to the
word, "Follow me."
tr. 2021 Richard B Gillion

Jesus is calling in accents of tenderness,
Jesus is calling,
my brother, to thee,
Just as of old, by the waters of Galilee,
Fell from His lips
the command, "Follow Me."
Take to the Saviour thy
sorrow and selfishness,
Break from the fetters of sin,
and be free;
Jesus has promised thee strength
as thou needest it,
If thou obey the
command, "Follow Me."
O Thou who knowest our
wants and infirmities,
Thou who hast promised our Helper to be,
Grant us Thy grace, that
with heart-searching earnestness
We may respond to the
call, "Follow Me."
Benjamin Mansell Ramsey 1849-1923
