O Ddyfnder diwaelod cyfammod a threfn!
Yr arfaeth dragwyddol sydd
ddyfnder drachefn!
Rhagoddef, rhagweled
mai syrthio wnai dyn,
Ac ethol Gwaredwr
tragwyddol ei hun!
O ddyfnder! pwy fesur
ddoethineb y ne'?
Cyfammod tragwyddol,
ni syflir o'i le:
Gosodwyd y sylfaen -
mor gadarn yw'r graig!
Ti, Arglwydd y lluoedd,
a dd'rysodd y ddraig.
Edward Jones 1761-1836
Tonau [11.11.11.11]: |
O the depths of covenant and providence!
The eternal scheme which is
a depth once again!
Suffering beforehand, foreseeing
that man would fall,
And electing an eternal
Deliverer himself!
O depths! who measures
the wisdom of heaven?
An eternal covenant,
not to be shifted from its place:
The foundation was laid -
how firm is the rock!
Thou, Lord of the hosts,
hast confounded the dragon.
tr. 2019 Richard B Gillion
|
How deep in foundation the covenant of God!
How wise is the counsel
of my blessed Lord.
Before the creation,
the fall was foreseen,
And salvation prepared
for sinners unclean.
Unfathomable deep is
the wisdom of heaven;
To the council eternal
no date can be given.
Like rocks in the ocean,
it never will shake,
He'll never, no, never,
his promise forsake.
