(Hyder Pererin Cystuddiol)
Dyfais fawr tragwyddol gariad
  Ydwy'r iechydwrieaeth lawn;
Cyfamod hedd
    yw'r sylfaen gadarn,
  Yr hwn ni dderfydd byth mo'i ddawn:
Dyma'r fan y gorffwys f'enaid,
  Dyma'r fan y byddaf byw,
Mewn tangnefedd pur, heddychol,
  Ym mhob rhyw stormydd gyda'm Duw.

Syfled iechyd, syfled bywyd,
  Cnawd a chalon yn gytūn,
Byth ni syfl cyfamod heddwch,
  Hen gytundeb Tri yn Un:
Dianwadal yw'r addewid,
  Cadarn byth yw cyngor Duw;
Cysur cryf sy
    i'r neb a gredo
  Yn haeddiant Iesu i gael byw.

Būm yn ŵyndeb pob gorchymyn,
  Būm yn ŵyndeb angau glas;
Gwelais Iesu ar Galfaria
  Yn gwbwl wedi cario'r maes:
Mewn cystuddiau 'r wyf yn dawel,
  Y fuddugoliaeth sydd o'm tu,
Nid oes elyn wna i mi niwed;
  Mae'r ffordd yn rhydd i'r nefoedd fry.

Pethau chwerwon sydd yn felys;
  Twllwch sydd yn olau clir;
Mae 'nghystuddiau imi'n fuddiol,
  Ond darfyddant cyn bo hir:
Cyfamod hedd
    bereiddia'r cwbwl,
  Cyfamod hedd a'm cwyd i'r lan,
I gael gweld fy etifeddiaeth,
  A'i meddiannu yn y man.

Gwelais 'chydig o'r ardaloedd
  Yr ochor draw i angeu a'r bedd;
Synodd f'enaid yn yr olwg,
  Teimlais annherfynol hedd:
Iesu brynodd imi'r cwbl,
  Gwnaeth ā'i waed
    anfeidrol Iawn;
Dyma rym fy enaid euog,
  A fy nghysur dwyfol llawn.

Fy natur egwan sydd yn soddi
  Wrth deimlo prawf
      o'th ddwyfol hedd,
Ac yn boddi gan ryfeddod
  Wrth edrych 'chydig ar dy wedd;
O! am gorff, a hwnnw'n rymus,
  I oddef pwys gogoniant Duw,
Ac i'w foli
    byth heb dewi,
  A chydag Ef dragwydddol fyw.

(The Confidence of the Afflicted Pilgrim)
The great contrivance of eternal love
  Is the full salvation;
A covenant of peace
    is the strong foundation,
  This will be of never-failing ability:
Here is the place to rest my soul,
  Here is the place I will live,
In pure, peaceable tranquility,
  In all kinds of storm with my God.

Let health shift, let life shift,
  Flesh and heart agreeing,
Never will the covenant of peace shift,
  The old agreement of the Three in One:
Immutable is the promise,
  Firm forever is the counsel of God;
A strong comfort which is
    to everyone who believes
  In the merit of Jesus to get to live.

I was in the face of every commandment,
  I was in the face of bitter death;
I saw Jesus on Calvary
  Completely having carried the field:
In afflictions I am tranquil,
  The victory is on my side,
There is no enemy that can do me harm;
  The way is clear to the heavens above.

Bitter things are sweet;
  Darkness is as clear as light;
Afflictions are beneficial to me,
  But they will vanish before long:
The covenant of peace
    will sweeten the whole,
  The covenant of peace will raise me up,
To get to see my inheritance,
  And to possess it soon.

I have seen a little of the regions
  On the far side of death and the grave;
My soul marvelled at the sight,
  I felt unbounded peace:
Jesus bought the whole for me,
  He made with his blood
    an immeasurable Satisfaction;
Here is the strength of my guilty soul,
  And my full, divine comfort.

My weak nature is sinking
  On feeling an experience
      of thy divine peace,
And drowning with amazement
  On looking a little on thy countenance;
Oh for a body, and that a strong one,
  To endure the weight of God's glory,
And to praise him forever
    without being silent,
  And with him eternally to live.

tr. 2009,11 Richard B Gillion

~
O Salvation, full Salvation,
  Love's device for man's release!
What can shake
    the firm foundation
  Of this covenant of peace?
Here my soul in trouble resteth,
  Here through life is my abode:
When the stormy wind molesteth,
  Days of calm have I with God.

Should my health be from me taken,
  And my very life be done;
The decree remains unshaken
  Made of old by Three in One:
Unremoved the promise liveth,
  And the counsel standeth fast;
Unto him, who
    now believeth
  Christ is life, and death is past.

Bitter things are
    changed to sweetness,
  Darkness into clearest day;
Trials give my spirit meetness,
  And they soon shall pass away:
By the covenant sustainčd,
  Strong in comfort shall I be,
Till my soul at last hath gainčd
  What my Father willed for me.

Once, I thought my little vessel
  Had the wild waves overpast;
I was in the tranquil haven,
  And my anchor had been cast!
Then I cried in fear, "My Father,
  Wilt Thou drive me back again?
In Thy bosom take me rather,
  Let me bid farewell to pain!"

"Hush, My child,
    and wait My leisure,
  Know there is no God but Me;
Be at rest in My good pleasure,
  Trust My care - 
      My care for thee:
In the struggle
    I shall hide thee
  From the evil hand of foes;
I shall always walk beside thee,
  I, thy succour and repose."

Lord, it is enough for ever,
  If Thou only be my God;
For Thy Son didst Thou deliver
  To redeem me with His blood:
In His shelter I have hidden,
  In the mortal bruise divine;
Be all other joys forbidden,
  But the joy that He is mine.
