O Fab y Dyn, Eneiniog Duw, fy Mrawd
A'm Ceidwad cry',
Ymlaen y cerddaist dan
y groes a'r gwawd
Heb neb o'th du;
Cans llosgi wnaeth
dy gariad pur bob cam,
Ni allodd angau'i hun
ddiffoddi'r fflam.
Cyrhaeddaist ddiben
dy anturiaeth ddrud
Drwy boenau mawr;
A gwelais di dan faich gofidiau'r byd
Yn gwyro i lawr,
Ac yn dy ochain dwys
a'th ddrylliog lef
Yn galw'r afradloniaid
tua thref.
Rho imi'r weledigaeth
fawr a'm try
O'm crwydro ffôl
I'th ddilyn hyd y
llwybrau dyrys, dua
Heb syllu'n ôl;
A moes dy law i mi'r
eiddilaf un,
Ac arwain fi i mewn
i'th fyd dy hun.
Tydi yw'r ffordd, a mwy
na'r ffordd i mi,
Tydi yw 'ngrym:
Pa les ymdrechu,
f'Arglwydd, hebot ti,
A minnau'n ddim?
O rymus Un, na
wybu lwfywrhau,
Dy nerth a'm ceidw
innau heb lesgáu.

Tonau [10.4.10.4.10.10]: |
O Son of God, God's Anointed, my Brother
And my strong Saviour,
Onward thou didst walk under
the cross and the mocking
With no-one on thy side;
Since burn did thy pure
love every step,
Death itself could not
extinguish the flame.
Thou didst reach the aim
of thy costly venture
Through great pains;
And I saw thee under the world's griefs
Being bowed down,
And in thy intense groan
and thy shattered cry
Calling the prodigals
toward home.
Give me the great vision
that will turn me
From my foolish wandering
To follow thee along the
troublesome, black paths
Without gazing behind;
And offer thy hand to me
the most feeble one,
And lead me into
thy own world.
Thou art the way, and more
than the way to me,
Thou art my power:
What is the benefit of striving,
my Lord, without thee,
And I nothing?
O powerful One, who knows
no losing of heart,
Thy strength shall keep me
from growing weak.
tr. 2021 Richard B Gillion

O Son of Man, Christ, God's anointed One,
My Saviour strong;
Forsaken, thou didst bear
the cross alone,
Mocked by the throng:
Yet thy pure love burned through
the death of shame,
Its bitter suff'ring could
not quench the flame.
Thou didst achieve thy goal,
though oft repelled,
Through woes unknown;
Burdened with mankind's sorrows, I beheld
Thee sinking down,
And in thy broken cries
from out the gloom
I heard thee calling thy
wand'ring brethren home.
Grant the great vision that
would make me spurn
My foolish ways,
To follow thee o'er the
dark paths, and turn
No backward gaze:
Thy hand give me, the weakest,
who hath erred,
And lead me into thine own
world, dear Lord.
Thou art the way, yea more,
thou art to me
The power I've sought;
What good, Lord, is my
struggling without thee
When I am nought?
O mighty One, whose courage
ne'er did fail,
Filled with thy strength,
I also shall prevail.
