Ymgrymwn ger dy fron Ti Dduw ein tadau; O llanw'r oedfa hon Â'th ddylanwadau: O blith teganau ffôl I wres dy gynnes gôl O galw ni yn ôl O'n holl grwydriadau. Allorau fwy na mwy Gaed ar ein llwybrau, A rhoesom arnynt hwy Ein hebyrth gorau: Ond trodd addoli'r byd Yn golled drom i gyd; Siomedig iawn a drud Yw'r eilun dduwiau. O Dduw, tosturia nawr, A maddau'r camwedd; Er mwyn dy enw mawr Dod in ymgeledd; Â'th Ysbryd cadw ni O flaen dy allor di, Gan gofio Calfarî Nes delo'r diwedd.John James Williams 1869-1954 Detholiad o Donau ac Emynau 1916
Tonau [65.65.666.5]: |
We bow before thee, Thou God of our fathers; O flood this meeting With thy influences: From the midst of foolish trinkets To the heat of thy warm bosom O call us all back From all our wanderings. More and yet more altars Are found on our paths, And we have laid on them Our best sacrifices: But worship of the world has turned Into heavy loss altogether; Very disappointing and costly Is the image of our gods. O God, have mercy now, And forgive our trespsses; For the sake of thy great name Give us help; With thy Spirit keep us Before thine altar, Remembering Calvary Until the end comes.tr. 2025 Richard B Gillion |
