O Arglwydd Dduw rhagluniaeth

1,2,3,(4);  1,4,(2,3).
O Arglwydd Dduw rhagluniaeth,
  Ac iachawdwriaeth dyn,
Tydi sy'n llywodraethu,
  Y byd a'r nef dy hun:
Yn wyneb pob rhyw g'ledi,
  Y sydd neu etto ddaw,
Dod gadarn gymhorth i mi,
  I lechu yn dy law.

O am gael ffydd i edrych,
  Gyda'r angelion fry,
I fôr yr iachawdwriaeth,
  Dirgelwch ynddi sy';
Dwy natur mewn un person,
  Yn gyson yno gaed,
Anfeidrol a thrag'wyddol, 
  Yw rhinwedd dwyfol waed.

O f'enaid gwel addasrwydd, 
  Y person dwyfol hwn,
Anturia' iddo'th fywyd,
  A bwrw arno'th bwn:
Mae'n ddyn i gydymdeimlo,
  A'th holl wendidau'i gyd,
Mae'n Dduw i fynu'r orsedd,
  Ar ddiafol, cnawd, a byd.

Er cryfed ydyw'r gwyntoedd
  A chedyrn donnau'r môr,
Doethineb ydyw'r Llywydd,
  A'i enw'n gadarn Iôr;
Er gwaethaf dilyw pechod
  A llygredd o bob rhyw,
Dihangol byth heb soddi
  Am fod yr arch yn Dduw.

O Lord God of providence,
  And the salvation of man,
It is thou who dost govern,
  The world and heaven thyself:
In the face of every kind of hardship,
  Which is or still to come,
Give strong help to me,
  To hide in thy hand.

O to have faith to see
  With the angels above
To the sea of the salvation,
  The mystery which is in it;
Two natures in one Person
  Constantly to be found,
Infinite and eternal,
  Is the merit of the divine blood.

O my soul, see how fitting
  Is this divine Person,
Venture upon him thy life
  And cast upon him thy load;
He is as man to sympathise
  With all thy weakness altogether,
He is as God upon the throne
  Over devil, flesh and world.

Though the storms are so strong
  And the sea's waves billow,
Wisdom is the pilot,
  And his name the strong Master;
In spite of the deluge of sin
  And corruption of every kind,
Safe in the end
  Because the ark is God.
tr. 2009 Richard B Gillion
Great Author of salvation
  And providence for man,
Thou rulest earth and heaven
  With Thy far-reaching plan:
To-day, or on the morrow,
  Whatever woe betide,
Grant us Thy strong assistance,
  Within Thy hand to hide.

What though the winds be angry,
  What though the waves be high,
While Wisdom is the ruler,
  The Lord of earth and sky!
What though the flood of evil
  Rise stormily and dark,
No soul can sink within it--
  God is Himself the ark!

Give us the faith of angels,
  That we may look and see
Salvation's depths of radiance
  And holy mystery:
Two natures in one person,
  Harmonious, part and whole:
The blood divine availing
  To ransom every soul.

My soul, behold the fitness
  Of this great Son of God;
Trust Him for life eternal,
  And cast on Him thy load:
A Man! - touched with the pity
  Of every human woe;
A God! - to claim the kingdom,
  And vanquish every foe.

also:

Eternal God who rulest
  The whole creation wide,
And dost for guilty sinners
  Mercy and grace provide;
In depth of every sorrow
  That is, or time may bring,
Oh, give us help to shelter
  Beneath Thy tender wing.
