Yn nyfnder moroedd mawrion
Mae ffyrdd fy Arglwydd Dduw;
Er hynny doeth a sanctaidd
A rhyfedd berffaith yw;
Y tonnau sy debycaf
O suddo f'enaid gwan,
A'm taflant bob yn ronyn
I'm cartref, hyfryd fan.
Am hyn boed f'ysbryd egwan
Yn isel wrth dy draed,
Yn syn ryfeddu mawredd
Yr iachawdwrieth rad;
A'm calon i'th ewyllys
Fo'n plygu ym mhob man,
Nes it fy nwyn o'r diwedd
O'r cystudd mawr i'r lan.
Na ad im edrych gormod
Ar ddim sydd yn y byd:
Mae hwn yn myned heibio,
A'i degwch oll i gyd;
Trysorau'r nefoedd uchod
Fo'n bleser imi mwy,
A chanaf wrth fynd adref
Am Grist a'i farwol glwy'.

Tonau [7676D]: |
In the depth of great seas
Are the ways of my Lord God;
Despite that, wise and sacred
And wonderfully perfect he is;
The waves are likely
To sink my weak soul,
Are flinging me little by little
To my home, a delightful place.
Therefore may my weak spirit
Be lowly at thy feet,
In surprise, wondering at the greatness
Of the free salvation;
And may my heart to thy will
Be bending in every place,
Until thou bring me at last
Up from the great tribulation.
Do not let me look too much
On anything that is in the world:
This is passing,
And all its fairness altogether;
May the treasures of heaven above
Be a pleasure to me evermore,
And I shall sing while going home
About Christ and his mortal wound.

In the depth of great seas
Is the way of my Lord God;
Despite that, wise and sacred
And wonderfully gentle it is;
The waves that are likely
To sink my weak soul,
Are flinging me nearer
To the heavenly shore.
May I not look too much
On anything that is in the world:
This is passing,
And all its fairness altogether;
May the treasures of heaven above
Be a pleasure to me evermore,
And I shall sing while going home
About Christ and his mortal wound.
