Dewch, bechaduriaid mawr,
Ffieddiaf sy'n y byd;
Trugaredd sydd gan Dduw
I chwi, er oedi cyd:
Ni chofia Ef eich ffiaidd fai,
Gall gwaed y groes
ei lwyr lanhau.
Dewch, hen wrthgilwyr trist,
At Iesu Grist yn ôl;
Mae'i freichiau nawr ar led,
Fe'ch derbyn yn ei gôl:
Mae Duw yn rhoddi eto'n hael
Drugaredd i droseddwyr gwael.
Dewch, hen ac ieuainc, dewch
At Iesu, mae'n llawn bryd;
Rhyfedd amynedd Duw
Ddisgwyliodd wrthym cyd:
Aeth yn brynhawn,
mae yn hwyrhau;
Mae drws trugaredd heb ei gau.

Tonau [666688]: gwelir: Dewch hen ac ieuainc dewch |
Come, great sinners,
The most despicable in the world;
There is mercy with God
For you, despite delaying so long:
He remembers not your despicable fault,
The blood of the cross can
cleanse it completely.
Come, sad old backsliders,
Back to Jesus Christ;
His arms are now open wide,
He receives you into his embrace:
God gives generously again
Mercy to wretched transgressors.
Come, old and young, come
To Jesus, it is high time;
The amazing patience of God
Sought us together:
It has gone into afternoon,
it is getting late;
The door of mercy is not shut.
old backliders :: prodigals tr. 2007,10 Richard B Gillion |
Come sinners of the world
With all your dreadful wrong;
God's mercy is not spent
Though ye have lingered long:
Through Jesu's blood now enter in,
Forever cleansed from
all your sin.
Come ye who left your Lord
To tread the ways of sin;
He opens wide his arms
To welcome you back in:
God's love is once again expressed
To those who have his law transgressed.
Come old and young to Christ
The Lord! Now is the time;
God's mercy sought us all
With patience so sublime:
The hour is late,
'tis eventide;
His mercy’s door stands open wide.
:: tr. 2007,10 Richard B Gillion
