Rhyfeddol weithredoedd trugaredd
Sef prif brïodoledd ein Duw;
Trugaredd a garodd dros fesur
Bechadur llwyr ammhur ei ryw:
Trugaredd o'i blaid sydd yn eiriol,
Trugaredd anfeidrol sydd fwyn,
Pan lefo, yn ngolwg ei waeledd,
Fe wrendy Trugaredd ei gŵyn.
Mae achos o syndod annrhaethol
Yn ngariad arfaethol nef wèn;
Doethineb a gallu tra'wyddol
A ddug y gwaith bywiol i ben;
Trugaredd i'r eiddil bechadur
Rydd gysur yn ngwyneb ei gâs;
Gogoiant trag'wyddol i'r Iesu
Am drefnu cyfamod o ras!
Mab Duw yn dragwyddol a folir,
Pan gywir edrychir y drefn;
Er ini drwm gwympo drwy bechu,
Gwnaeth ffordd i'n derchafu drachefn:
Oedd cyfraith ufudd-dod gweithredol
O fewn i'r Iôr oesol yn reddf;
Ei angau wnaeth iawn
i gyfiawnder,
Heddychodd holl ddigder y ddeddf.
Mae'r Iesu yn llawn trugarogrwydd,
Ond llawn o gyndynrwydd yw dyn;
Heb weled dim niwaid mewn pechod
A chanfod drwg waelod
ei wŷn;
Ond cymhell mae'r Iesu bendigaid
Y ffordd i bob enaid gael byw:
Ynfydrwydd yw gwrthod y cynnyd -
Mae'n dda fod i'n Feddyg yn fyw.
Mae'n dost fod un dyn yn boddloni
I ddilyn trueni trwy oes;
Heb gyfran yn haeddiant rhinweddol,
Effeithiol waed grasol y groes;
Heb ddilyn yn lân ordinhadau,
A chyson gordiadau gair Duw;
Ac ymbil am yspryd mwy sanctaidd
A thymher nefolaidd i fyw!
Mae'r Gair o ysprydol ddoethineb
Yn dangos tiriondeb
Duw Tri;
Dad-guddiwyd, amlygwyd y Logos
Yn gâr, a dyn agos i ni:
Gan hynny dadganed pob genau
Ei fawl ar fin
borau'n fwyn bêr,
Dangoswn yn ffrwyth ein hufudd-dod
Ein bod yn adnabod Duw Nêr.
Ystyria di'r eiddil bechadur
A gwêl fod yn gysur
it' gael
Dy Brynwr yn Arglwydd y Bywyd,
Yn Dduw a dyn hefyd, - dawn hael:
Ond ydyw dibrisio ei gyfammod
Yn ormod o bechod a bâr;
Gogoniant i Brynwr mor drion,
A llwydd i bob calon
a'i câr.
I ganu mawl Iesu'n ei lysoedd
Try Daear a Nefoedd yn un;
Angylion a dynion - pob doniau,
Chwareuant eu tannau'n gyttûn;
Ac yno y'nghôr Seilo -
Ynghaersalem,
Dad-ganant
yr Anthem i'r Oen;
Dechreuad llwenydd di-ddarfod,
A ffarwel i bechod a'i boen.
Dymuner hir heddwch i Seion,
A llwydd i Genadon y Nef:
I ennill at Dduw ei elynion,
Ac arwain ei ddofion Braidd ef:
A'r rhai sydd yn goddef caethiwed
Yn rhyddion Duw rhodded y rhai'n;
Dychweler drwy'r Byd yn gymmodol,
Y Cleddyf niweidiol
i'r wain.
David Thomas (Dafydd Ddu o Eryri) 1759-1822 |
The wonderful actions of mercy
That is, the chief attribute of our God;
Mercy which loved above measure
A sinner of a completely impure kind:
Mercy which intercedes on his behalf,
Immeasurable mercy which is gentle,
When he cries, in the face of his misery,
Mercy will hear his complaint.
It is a cause of unutterable surprise
In the purposeful love of bright heaven;
Wisdom which can eternally
Bring the lively work to fulfilment;
Mercy for the feeble sinner
Gives comfort in the face of his enemy;
Glory eternal to Jesus
For arranging a covenant of grace!
The Son of God eternally is to be praised,
When truly the arrangement is to be seen;
For us who fell heavily through sinning,
He made a way for us lift us up again:
The law of active obedience was
Within the eternal Lord innately;
His death made satisfaction
to righteousness,
He pacified all the wrath of the statute.
Jesus is full of mercifulness
But full of stubbornness is man;
Without seeing any harm in sin
And finding evil the basis
of his pain;
But compelling is blessed Jesus
The way for every soul to get to live:
It is madness to refuse the offer -
It is good that our Physician is living.
He is sore that one man is satisfied
To follow misery throughout an age;
Without a share in a virtuous, effective
Merit of the gracious blood of the cross;
Without following wholly the ordinances
And constant accords of the word of God;
And entreaty for a spirit more holy
And heavenly temper to live!
The Word of spiritual wisdom is
Showing the tenderness
of the God of Three;
The Word was disclosed, made evident
As a kinsman, and a man near to us:
Therefore let every mouth declare
His praise at the crack
of dawn sweetly-sounding,
Let us show in the fruit of our obedience
That we know God the Lord.
Consider, thou feeble sinner
And see that it is a comfort
for thee to get
Thy Redeemer as the Lord of Life,
As God and man also, - a generous gift:
But disregarding his covenant is
Too much of a sin to continue;
Glory to a Redeemer so tender,
And prosperity to every heart
that loves him.
To sing the praise of Jesus in his courts
Turns Earth and Heaven into one;
Angels and men - all gifts,
They shall play their strings in harmony;
And there in the choir of Shiloh -
in Jerusalem,
They shall sing out
the Anthem to the Lamb;
The beginning of undying joy,
And a farewell to sin and its pain.
Peace to Zion is long to be desired,
And success to the Emissaries of Heaven:
To win to God his enemies,
And lead his tame Flock:
And those who are enduring captivity
Free may God set them;
Throughout the world with reconciliation,
Let the injurious sword
be returned to the sheath.
