Ger bron gorseddfa'r Arglwydd mawr,
Ymgrymwch holl genedloedd llawr;
Gwybyddwch mai efe sydd Dduw,
Efe all ladd neu gadw'n fyw.
Ei allu mawr
diderfyn yw,
Fe'n gwnaeth o bridd yn ddynion byw;
Ac er in' grwydro
yn mhell mewn byd,
Fe'n dygodd 'nol i'w gorlan glyd.
Ei ddeiliaid ef y'm, gryf a gwan,
Gwrthddrywchau'i ofan yn mhob man;
Pa fath anrhydedd allwn ni
Ei roi'n barhaus i'th enw cu?
Yn dorf ni dde'wn i'th dy a chan,
Derchafwn fawl i'r nefoedd lan;
Rhoir llon'd dy byrth
gan filoedd maith,
O glod didrai,
mewn seinfawr iaith.
Lled byd yw dy orchymyn drud,
Dy serch tra'gwyddol yw ei hyd;
A'th air a saif
fel craig o hyd,
Pan dreiglo ffordd
flynyddau'r byd.
Casgliad o Hymnau (J Harris) 1824
Tonau [MH 8888]: |
Before the throne of the great Jehovah,
Bow down, all ye nations of earth;
Know ye that he is God,
He can kill or keep alive.
His great power
is endless,
He made us from soil into living men;
And although we wandered
far in a world,
He brought us back to his cosy fold.
His tenants we are, strong and weak,
The objects of his care in every place;
What sort of honour can we
Give continuously to thy dear name?
As a throng we come into thy house and sing,
Let us raise praise to the holy heavens;
The fullness of thy portals is to be given
by vast thousands,
Of unebbing acclaim,
in resounding language.
World-wide is thy costly commandment,
Thy affection, eternal is its extent;
And thy word shall stand
like a rock always,
When the way of the years
of the world spends.
tr. 2016,21 Richard B Gillion

Before Jehovah's awful throne,
Ye nations, bow with sacred joy;
Know that the Lord is God alone;
He can create, and He destroy.
His sovereign power,
without our aid,
Made us of clay, and formed us men;
And when like wandering sheep
we strayed,
He brought us to His fold again.
We are His people, we His care,
Our souls, and all our mortal frame;
What lasting honours shall we rear,
Almighty Maker, to Thy name?
We'll crowd Thy gates
with thankful songs,
High as the heavens our voices raise;
And earth,
with her ten thousand tongues,
Shall fill Thy courts
with sounding praise.
Wide as the world is Thy command,
Vast as eternity Thy love;
Firm as a rock Thy truth
must stand,
When rolling years
shall cease to move.
1719 Isaac Watts 1674-1748(adapt. John Wesley 1703–91)
