Efengyl Crist sy'n galw

(Galwad i edifarhau a chredu yr Efengyl)
Efengyl Crist sy'n galw
  Pob dyn i 'difarhau,
Gan gynnyg pardwn iddynt
  Er cymmaint yw eu bai;
Ac oni lwydda'r alwad,
  Gwybyddwch hyn dros Grist,
Y deuwch chwithau i alw,
  A Duw heb roddi clust.
Thomas Griffiths 1776-1808
Cofiant Ann Griffiths 1865

[Mesur: 7676D]

(Call to repent and believe the Gospel)
The gospel of Christ is calling
  Every man to repent,
While offering pardon to them
  Despite how great is their fault;
And unless the call succeed,
  Know ye this for Christ,
Ye too shall come to call,
  And God shall not give ear.
tr. 2025 Richard B Gillion
(“The word of the Cross” 1 Cor. i, 18.)
While to the disobedient
  The day is drawing near
When they shall pray to Christ too late,
  And He refuse to hear,
Unmerited forgiveness
  Is offered unto all
That with unfeigned repentance
  Obey the Gospel Call.
tr. George Richard Gould Pughe 1831-?1918
The Hymns of Ann Griffiths 1900
