Gwyn a gwridog, têg a glân -
hawddgar ydy',
Ar ddeng mil o'r duwiau mân -
mae'n rhagori;
Gwell nâ'r India na'r Periw -
yw f'Anwylwyd,
Ei garu wnaf tra fyddwyf byw -
mae fe'n hyfryd.
Yspryd Caleb dyro im' -
i ymdrechu,
Na b'o imi garu dim - ond yr Iesu;
Mae perthnasau goreu'r cnawd -
yma'n darfod;
Dyma Gyfaill gwell nâ brawd -
dyma Briod.
Afradloniaid o bob gwlad - deuwch ato,
Mae fe'n rhoi maddeuant rhad -
diolch iddo;
Golchi'r aflan brwnt yn wỳn -
mi'th ryfedda;
Pwy na chanai byth am hyn - Halelwia!
Swp o Ffigys 1825
Tonau [7474D]: |
White and ruddy, fair and holy -
beautiful is he,
Than ten thousand of lesser gods -
he is superior;
Better than India or Peru -
is my Beloved,
Love him I shall while ever I live -
he is delightful.
The Spirit of Caleb give to me -
to struggle,
May I love nothing - but Jesus;
The best relationships of the flesh -
here are perishing;
Here is a Friend better than a brother -
here is a Spouse.
Prodigals of every land - come ye to him,
He is giving free forgiveness -
thanks to him;
Washing the dirty filthy white -
I wonder at thee;
Who would not sing forever at this -
Hallelujah!
tr. 2022 Richard B Gillion
