O Feistr! gad im' atat ddod
Hyd ffyrdd gwasanaeth rhydd dinôd;
Dysg imi'r modd i oddef pwys
Y gwaith, a min y gofal dwys.
Rho imi'r atyniadol iaith
Enillo'r glaiar fron i waith;
Dysg imi ddwyn yn ol y traed
Yn crwydro o Dy lwybrau gaed.
Dysg im' D'amynedd. Gyda Thi
Mewn undeb dyfo'n fwy fwy cu; -
Mewn gwaith fo'n adgyfnerthu
ffydd;
Mewn ffydd ar ddrwg
fo'n cario'r dydd.
Mewn gobaith fyddo'n taflu'i wawr
Hyd y dyfodol pell i lawr;
Mewn heddwch nas adnabu'r byd -
O Feistr! gad i'm fyw o hyd.

O Master, let me come to thee
Along free, unremarkable roads of service:
Teach me to way to suffer the weight
Of the work,
and the sharpness of the intense care:
Give me the attractive language
To win the lukewarm breast to work;
Teach me to bring back the feet
Wandering from Thy paths to be had.
Teach me Thy patience. With Thee
In union to grow more and more dear; -
In work that be renewing
the strength of faith;
In faith over evil
that be carrying the day.
In hope that be spreading the dawn
Down along the distant future;
In peace that the world does not know -
O Master, let me live always.
:: tr. 2014 Richard B Gillion |
O Master, let me walk with Thee
In lowly paths of service free;
Tell me Thy secret; help me bear
The strain of toil,
the fret of care.
Help me the slow of heart to move
By some clear winning word of love;
Teach me the wayward feet to stay,
And guide them in the homeward way.
Teach me Thy patience; still with Thee
In closer, dearer company,
In work that keeps faith
sweet and strong,
In trust that triumphs
over wrong,
In hope that sends a shining ray
Far down the future's broadening way;
In peace that only Thou canst give,
With Thee, Master, let me live.
