Pa ham ymffrostia'r gelyn ffraeth? Ei eiriau sydd mor llym a saeth; Ond para mae trugaredd Duw, Fy amddiffynfa anwyl yw. Myfi, fel olew-wydden werdd, Yn nhŷ fy Nuw, a ganaf gerdd, O foliant rhwydd i'm Harglwydd nef, Gan gredu yn ei allu ef.Thomas Williams (Eos Gwynfa / Eos y Mynydd) c.1769-1848 [Mesur: MH 8888] |
Why does the haughty enemy boast? His words as as sharp as an arrow; But enduring is the mercy of God, My beloved defence he is. I, like a green olive-tree, In the house of my God, shall sing verse, Of ready praise to my Lord of heaven, While believing in his power.tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion |
2 Thy wicked tongue doth sland'rous tales
maliciously devise;
And, sharper than a razor set,
it wounds with treach'rous lies.
8 But I am like those olive plants
that shade God's temple round;
And hope with his indulgent grace
to be for ever crowned.
