Un arch a erchais ar Dduw Naf

Un arch a erchais ar Dduw Naf,
  A hyny archaf etto;
Cael dod i dŷ yr Arglwydd glân,
  A bod â'm trigfa ynddo.

I edrych ar brydferthwch pur
  Fy Nuw a'm gwir Waredwr;
Ac i ymofyn trwy fy oes
  Pa gyngor roes fy Mhrynwr.

Duw, dysg i mi dy ffordd yn rhwydd,
 O herwydd fy ngelynion;
Ac arwain fi, o'th nawddol rad,
  Yn wastad ar yr union.

Un arch a erchais ar Dduw Nâf,
  A hyny archaf eto;
Cael d'od i dŷ fy Arglwydd glân,
  A bod â'm trigfan ynddo.

Caf yno roi fy nghwyn o'th flaen,
  A'th degwch wela'i'n wastad;
A chlywed traethu d'w'llys gu,
  A chenadwri'th gariad.

Pan ddel tymhestloedd -
    p'le ceir gwell?
  Mae yno babell ddirgel,
Lle cuddia Duw ei blant bob un,
  A'u henaid sy'n ddiogel.

One request I requested of God the Chief,
  And this I request still;
To get to come to the house of the holy Lord,
  And have my dwelling in it.

To look on the pure beauty
  Of my God and my true Deliverer;
And to ask throughout my lifespan
  What counsel my Redeemer gave.

God, teach me thy way freely,
  Because of my enemies;
And lead me, of thy gracious protection,
  Constantly aright.

One request I requested of God the Chief,
  And this I request still;
To get to come to the house of the holy Lord,
  And have my dwelling in it.

There to get to put my complaint before thee,
  And thy fairness see constantly;
And hear the expounding of thy dear will,
  And the message of thy love.

When tempest come -
    what better place is to be got?
  In it is the secret tent,
Where God hides his children every one,
  And their elderly ones are safe.

 4 Henceforth within his house to dwell

     I earnestly desire,

   His wondrous beauty there to view,

     and his blest will enquire.



11 Instruct me in thy paths, O Lord,
     my ways directly guide;
   Lest envious men, who watch my steps,
     should see me tread aside.

7 Continue, Lord, to hear my voice,
    whene'er to thee I cry;
  In mercy all my pray'rs receive,
    nor my requests deny.

9 Then hide not thou
      thy face, O Lord,
    nor me in wrath reject;
  My God and Saviour, leave not him
    thou didst so oft protect.
