Derbyniwyd gynt gan Fab y Dyn
Blant bach i'w freichiau Ef ei Hun;
Ac "Na waherddwch hwynt," medd Ef,
"Can's eiddynt hwy yw teyrnas nef."
O! na ryfygwn ninau'n awr
I wrthod sampl Iesu mawr:
Pwy gaeai ddrws ei Eglwys Ef,
A'r Iesu'n agor drws y nef?
[O'n bodd dilynwn ninnau'n awr
Esiampl gu yr Iesu mawr:
Pwy gaeai ddrws ei Eglwys Ef,
A'r Iesu'n agor drws y nef?]
Am ras i gyd bydd melus gān
Aneirif wedi'n olchi'n lān
Oddiwrth holl niwed Eden ardd,
Fry yng Nghaersalem fawr yn hardd.
Mae modd i olchi yn y gwaed,
A rhoi i faban gwan iachād;
Am hyn dyrchefir melys gān
Gan dorf ddirif yn Salem lān.
Am hyn nesawn,
mae Crist yn gwa'dd,
Awn at ei borth bob oed a gradd;
Awn ā'n babanod gyda ni
I'r ffynon gaed ar Galfari.
O prisiwn freintiau
Eglwys Dduw,
Gan erchi trwddynt hwy gael byw;
Cawn ninnau oll, ryw ddydd i ddod,
Addoli Duw mewn bythol glod.
O oes i oes
bu'r saint a'u hād
Yn ddeiliaid y cyfammod rhād;
Babanod ieuainc llesg eu llef
Ynt 'nawr yn ddeiliaid teyrnas nef.
Thomas Williams, Rhes-y-cae, 1772-.
Tonau [MH 8888]: |
Received of old by the Son of Man were
Little children into His own arms;
And "Do not forbid them," He said,
"For theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
O let us not be presumtuous now
To reject the example of great Jesus:
Who would close the door of His Church,
And Jesus opening the door of heaven?
[Voluntarily let us follow now
The dear example of the great Jesus:
Who would close the door of His Church,
And Jesus opening the door of heaven?]
For all grace there shall be a sweet song
Innumerable after our washing clean
From all the harm of the garden of Eden,
Up in the great Jerusalem beautifully.
There is a means to wash in the blood,
And give to a weak baby health;
Therefore to be raised is a sweet song
By an innumerable throng in holy Salem.
Therefore let us draw near,
Christ is welcoming,
Let us go to his gate every age and degree;
Let us take our babies with us
To the fount got on Calvary.
O let us value the privileges
of the Church of God,
While requesting through them to get to live;
We all may, some day to come,
Worship God with everlasting praise.
From age to age
the saints and their seed were
Tenants of the free covenant;
Young babies with their weak cry
Are now tenants of the kingdom of heaven.
