Paham, paham yr ofnaf mwy,
Waelodion dyfnion bedd?
Mi ddringaf adref fry heb glwy',
I fryn tragwyddol hedd.
O! f'enaid anwyl, dyrcha'th ben,
Gwel ddydd yn gwawrio draw,
Pan godir
teulu'r addwyn Oen,
Uwch galar,
poen, a braw.
Caf fyn'd pryd hyn
at frodyr llon,
Caf delyn yn eu plith;
Caf ganu'n iach
i'r fuchedd hon,
A'i holl helbulon chwith.
Caf fy holl ofnau tan fy nhraed,
O ddedwydd, ddedwydd ddydd!
Caf ganu byth
am Grist a'i waed,
O'm holl gadwynau'n rhydd.
Benjamin Price (Cymro Bach) 1792-1854
Tôn [MC 8686]: Reudsburg (A Kruger 1628-66) |
Why, why shall I fear any more,
The deep bottoms of the grave?
I shall climb home above unharmed,
To the hill of eternal peace.
O my dear soul, raise thy head!
See the day dawning yonder,
When the family of the dear Lamb
is to be raised,
Above lamentation,
pain, and terror.
I shall get to go then
to my cheerful brothers,
I shall have a harp in their midst;
I shall get to sing whole
to this way of life,
And all its awkward troubles.
I shall get all my fears under my feet,
O happy, happy day!
I shall get to sing forever
about Christ and his blood,
From all my chains free.
tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion
