Ti, Dduw unig ddoeth,
y goleuni a'th gêl,
Tragywydd wyt Ti,
nid oes lygad a'th wêl.
Dy rym a'th ogoniant
byth bythoedd yn bod,
Bendigaid, goruchel,
i'th enw rhown glod.
Heb orffwys, heb frysio,
mor dawel â'r dydd,
Heb brinder, heb orfod,
a fynni a fydd;
Cadarnach dy farn na'r
mynyddoedd mawr iawn;
A daw o'th gymylau
bob cariad a dawn.
Tydi a rydd fywyd
i fychan a mawr,
Tydi ym mhob bywyd
yw'r bywyd bob awr;
Blagurwn, heneiddiwn,
fel dail ar y coed,
Heneiddiwn, diflannwn,
a Thi fel erioed.
Ti, Dad y Gogoniant
a'r golau uwch ben,
Fe'th fawl yr angylion,
a'u golau tan len;
Dod gymorth, pob moliant
a roddwn i Ti,
Ysblander y golau
a'th gudd rhagom ni.
cyf. T Gwynn Jones 1871-1949
Tonau [11.11.11.11]: |
Thou, God only wise,
'tis the light that hides thee,
Eternal art thou,
there is no eye that sees thee.
Thy power and thy glory
forever and ever are,
Blessed, supreme,
to thy name we render acclaim.
Without resting, without hurrying,
as quiet as the day,
Without lack, without compulsion,
thou dost insist on what shall be;
Firmer thy judgment than the
very great mountains;
And from thy clouds come
every love and talent.
'Tis thou who givest life
to small and great,
Thou in every life
art the life every hour;
We sprout, we age,
like foliage on the trees,
We age, we vanish,
and thou the same as ever.
Thou, the Father of Glory
and the light over head,
The angels praise thee,
with their light under a curtain;
If help comes, all praise
we shall give to thee,
'Tis the splendour of light
that hides thee from us.
tr. 2020 Richard B Gillion

Immortal, invisible,
God only wise,
In light inaccessible
hid from our eyes,
Most blessèd, most glorious,
the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious,
Thy great name we praise.
Unresting, unhasting,
and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting,
Thou rulest in might;
Thy justice, like mountains,
high soaring above
Thy clouds, which are fountains
of goodness and love.
To all, life Thou givest,
to both great and small;
In all life Thou livest,
the true life of all;
We blossom and flourish
as leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish -
but naught changeth Thee.
Great Father of glory,
pure Father of light,
Thine angels adore Thee,
all veiling their sight;
Of all Thy rich graces
this grace, Lord, impart
Take the veil from our faces,
the veil from our heart.
Walter C Smith 1824-1908
