O Iesu mawr, pwy ond tydi
Allasai farw drosom ni
A'n dwyn o warth i fythol fri?
Pwy all anghofio hyn?
Doed myrdd ar fyrdd
o bob rhyw ddawn
I gydfawrhau
d'anfeidrol Iawn,
Y gwaith gyflawnaist un prynhawn
Ar fythgofiadwy fryn.
Nid yw y greadigaeth faith
Na'th holl arwyddion gwyrthiol chwaith
Yn gytbwys â'th achubol waith
Yn marw i ni gael byw.
Rhyfeddod heb heneiddio mwy
Fydd hanes mawr dy farwol glwy';
Ni threiddia tragwyddoldeb drwy
Ddyfnderoedd cariad Duw.
William Abrose (Emrys) 1813-73
Tonau [8886]: Tôn [8886D]: Beulah (alaw Gymreig) |
O great Jesus, who but thee
Could have died for us
And lead us from disgrace to eternity above?
Who can forget this?
Let myriad after myriad
of every kind of talent come
To magnify together
thy immeasurable Atonement,
The work thou didst fulfil one afternoon
On an ever-memorable hill.
The vast creation is not
Nor all thy miraculous signs either
Equal to thy saving work
In dying that we might live.
A wonder without ageing henceforth
Will be the great story of thy mortal wound;
Eternity will not penetrate through
The depths of God's love.
tr. 2009 Richard B Gillion
