'Rwyf am aros wrth y groes

'Rwyf am aros wrth y groes,
  Gwerthfawrocaf ffynnon,
Sydd yn llifo yn ddi-drai
  Ar Galfaria'n gyson.

    Yn y groes, yn y groes,
      Gorfoledda 'nghalon,
    Nes cyrhaeddaf yn y man,
      Draw tu hwnt i'r afon.

Wrth y groes, mewn cur a phoen,
  Cafodd gras fi gyntaf,
Nef-belydrau'r Seren Ddydd
  Yno d'wynnodd arnaf.

Wrth y groes! caf yma o hyd
  Hafan yn fy nhrallod;
Ceisiaf mwy, o ddydd i ddydd,
  Rodio yn ei chysgod.

Wrth y groes - hyfrytaf le,
  Byddaf mwy yn fodlon,
Nes caf lanio ar y traeth
  Draw tu hwnt i'r afon.

I want to stay by the cross,
  A most precious fountain,
Which is flowing unebbingly
  On Calvary constantly.

    In the cross, in the cross,
      My heart will rejoice,
    Until I arrive soon,
      Yonder, beyond the river.

By the cross, in ache and pain,
  Grace got me once,
Heavenly rays of the Daystar
  There shone on me.

By the cross! I will get here always
  A haven in my trouble;
I will seek evermore, from day to day,
  To walk in its shadow.

By the cross - a most delightful place,
  I will be henceforth content,
Until I get to land on the shore
  Yonder beyond the river.

Jesus, keep me near the cross,
  There a precious fountain
Free to all, a healing stream
  Flows from Calvary's mountain.

    In the cross, in the cross,
      Be my glory ever;
    Till my raptured soul shall find
      Rest beyond the river.

Near the cross, a trembling soul,
  Love and mercy found me;
There the bright and morning star
  Sheds its beams around me.

Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
  Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day,
  With its shadows o'er me.

Near the cross I'll watch and wait
  Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I reach the golden strand,
  Just beyond the river.
