Pob gwagedd daearol aed ymaith yn drist, Heb demtio fy llygaid na blino fy nghlust, Yng nghanol gorsedd-fainc drag'wyddol yr Iôn 'Rwy'n gwel'd gweledigaeth o degwch yr O'n. Gogoniant fe hardd-wisg am dano sy'n bod, A'i waedlyd farwolaeth mae'n ddwyn megis nod; Saith ydyw ei lygaid, a saith yw ei gyrn, I ddweud ei ddoethineb a'i allu tra chwyrn. Y llyfr seliedig ei dderbyn mae ef O law'r hwn sy'n eistedd ar orsedd y nef; A Iesu fy Arglwydd, ca'dd edrych i hwn, Ar dywyll amcanion a phethau na's gwn. Cymmanfa'r holl seintiau o'i amgylch ef sy' Yn cwympo i addoli ger bron yr Oen cu, Mewn newydd ganiadau 'fangylaidd eu sain, Rhoi mawl ac anrhydedd i'w enw mae rhai'n. Gorfoledd, a bloeddio, a chydsain y saint, Trwy'r bryniau tra'wyddol ehedig y maent; Ti'n unig wyt deilwng (bawb gwaeddant heb Gêl) I ddarllen y llyfr, a dattod pob sêl. Cyd-seiniwn y nefol gân yna'n gyttun, A chyd â hyfrydwch, O canwn bob un; Gan dd'wedwd, mai teilwng yw'r Oen ga's ei ladd, I fod i ni'n Athraw a Brenin bob gradd. Ei brophwydoliaethau'n datguddio i ni sydd Drag'wyddol gynghorion, amcanion fu 'nghudd; Ei râs a'i ddialedd cyflawnant ryw bryd Y geiriau lefarodd o heddwch neu lid. Fe brynodd ein henaid rhag uffern a'i phoen, A'i waed amhrisiadwy, gogoniant i'r Oen! A chyndyn drueiniaid na haeddent gael byw A wnaed yn gyfeillion heddychol â Duw. Byth teilwng yw'r Arglwydd, addefed pob dyn, Fu farw am drosedd, nid eiddo fe'i hun, I gael gan bob tafod ei foli'n ddilyth, Ac eistedd ar orsedd ei nefol Dad byth.cyf.

Let every earthly emptiness go away sadly, Without tempting my eyes nor tiring my ear, In the centre of the eternal throne of the Lord I am seeing a vision of the fairness of the Lamb. Glory like beautiful clothing around him there is, And his bloody death he is bearing like a mark; Seven are his eyes, and seven are his horns, To tell his wisdom and his power so swift. The sealed book receiving is he From the hand of him who is sitting on the throne of heaven; And Jesus my Lord, got to look to that, On dark purposes and things I do not know. The congregation of all the saints around him is Falling to worship before the dear Lamb, In new songs of the gospel their sound, Giving praise and honour to his name are they. Jubilation, and shouting, and the chorus of the saints, Through the eternal hills fly they do; Thou alone art worthy (all shout without a lie) To read the book, and to undo every seal. Let us sound together the heavenly song there in agreement, And together with delight, O let us sing every one; Saying, that worthy is the Lamb who got slain, To be to us a Teacher and King of every degree. His prophecies revealing to us are Eternal counsels, purposes that were hidden; His grace and his retribution shall be fulfilled some time The words he spoke of peace or anger. He purchased our soul from hell and its pain, With his invaluable blood, glory to the Lamb! And stubborn wretches who do not deserve to get to live Who were made friends peaceful with God. Forever worthy is the Lord, let every man confess, Who died for transgression, not his own, To get by every tongue praised unfailingly, And to sit on the throne of his heavenly father forever.tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion |
All mortal vanities, be gone, Nor tempt my eyes, nor tire my ears, Behold amidst th'eternal throne A vision of the Lamb appears. Glory his fleecy robe adorns, Mark'd with the bloody death he bore; Seven are his eyes, and seven his horns, To speak his wisdom and his power. Lo, he receives a sealed book From him that sits upon the throne: Jesus, my Lord, prevails to look On dark decrees, and things unknown. All the assembling saints around Fall worshipping before the Lamb, And in new songs of gospel-sound Address their honours to his name, The joy, the shout, the harmony Flies o'er the everlasting hills, "Worthy art thou alone," they cry, "To read the book, to loose the seals." Our voices join the heavenly strain, And with transporting pleasure sing, "Worthy the Lamb that once was slain, "To be our teacher and our king!" His words of prophecy reveal Eternal counsels, deep designs; His grace and vengeance shall fulfil The peaceful and the dreadful lines. Thou hast redeem'd our souls from hell With thine invaluable blood; And wretches that did once rebel Are now made favourites of their God. Worthy for ever is the Lord, That died for treasons not his own, By every tongue to be ador'd, And dwell upon his Father's throne.Isaac Watts 1674-1748 Hymns and Spiritual Songs 1707
