(Melusion)
Melus ydyw y myfyrdod
Am ddynoliaeth Crist
a'i Dduwdod;
Melus meddwl am ei gariad,
Melus cael o hono brofiad.
Melus iawn yw cân o foliant,
Pan bwy'n profi gwir faddeuant;
Melus cael
trwy waed y cymmod,
Hedd i lanw fy nghydwybod.
Pan y'm curir gan y tònau,
Gwawd y byd a gorthrymderau,
Melus cael o'r babell briddlyd,
Olwg glir ar dir y bywyd.
Melus cofio'r boreu rhyfedd,
Y gadawaf weddill llygredd;
Melus brofaf
er fy ngwynfyd
Heddwch Duw yn well na'r bywyd.
John Thomas 1786-1859

(Sweets)
Sweet is the meditation
About the humanity of Christ
and his Divinity;
Sweet to think about his love,
Sweet to get an experience of it.
Very sweet is a song of praise,
When I am experiencing true forgiveness;
Sweet to get,
through the blood of the covenant,
Peace to flood my conscience.
When I am beaten by the waves,
The scorn of the world and afflictions,
Sweet to get from the earthy tent,
A clear view over the land of life.
Sweet to remember the wonderful morning,
I shall leave the remnant of corruption;
Sweetly I shall experience
to my blessedness
The peace of God as better than life.
tr. 2018 Richard B Gillion
