Trwy wybod yr Ysgrythyr lân,
Ca'dd miloedd yn eu genau gân;
Hen air y llw yw enw hon,
A gair a'n deil
pan guro'r don.
Y lân Ysgrythyr, llythyr llawn,
At ddyn yw hi'n cyhoeddi Iawn;
A ffordd agored i rai gwael
I ras a hedd
trwy Iesu hael.
Ysgrythyr lân, O! gyfran gu,
Tydi wyt fron y nefoedd fry;
Os sugnwn dy ysbrydol laeth,
Fe dry'n achubol fywiol faeth.
Peter Jones (Pedr Fardd) 1775-1845
Tôn [MH 8888]: Melcombe (Samuel Webbe 1740-1816) |
Through knowing the holy Scripture,
Thousands got in their mouths a song;
The old word of the oath is this name,
And a word which will hold us
when the wave strikes.
The holy Scripture, a full letter,
To man it is announcing a Ransom;
And a way opened for poor ones
To grace and peace
through generous Jesus.
Holy Scripture, O dear share,
Thou art the breast of heaven above;
If we suck thy spiritual milk,
It turns into saving, lively nourishment.
tr. 2017 Richard B Gillion
