Pererin wyf sydd ar fy nhaith,
Yn myn'd tua thragwyddoldeb maith:
Dieithr ddyn wyf ar y ddae'r,
Am nefol dŷ mae'm llef yn daer.
Mae im elynion o bob math,
A'u bryd i gyd yw'm dwyn yn gaeth,
A pheri im gyfeiliorni'n brudd,
A gwneyd llongddrylliad am fy ffydd.
Na lawenhewch, annuwiol haid,
Caf nerth yn rhwydd
fel byddo rhaid:
I Salem dof,
trwy'r tân a'r dwr,
Can's Iesu da yw f'unig Dwr.
Gan f'Arglwydd cu cynnorthwy caf,
A thrwy ei nerth gorchfygu wnaf;
Fy nghas elynion gwn, i gyd,
Caf wel'd eu lladd,
er maint eu llid.
Daniel Rowland 1713-1790
Tônau [MH 8888]: |
I am a pilgrim who is on my journey,
Going towards a vast eternity:
I stranger I am on the earth,
For a heavenly house my cry is intense.
I have enemies of every kind,
And all their intent is to take me captive,
And cause me to wander sadly,
And make a shipwreck of my faith.
Do not rejoice, ungodly horde,
I shall get strength freely
when there is need:
To Salem I shall come,
through the fire and the water,
Since good Jesus is my only Tower.
From my dear Lord support I shall get,
And through his strength overcome I shall;
All my detestable enemies, I know,
Shall see themselves slain,
despite the extent of their wrath.
tr. 2017 Richard B Gillion
