O! na dd'oi
holl drigolion byd
Yn nghyd at Iesu gwiw;
Y breichiau a'm cofleidiodd i,
Gofleidient ddynol ryw.
Mynegi ei gyfiawnder drud
Fo'm gwaith mewn byd o boen;
A thraethu rhin
ei gariad cu,
Cyhoeddi "Wele'r Oen."
cyf. Llyfr Tonau ac Emynau (Stephen a Jones) 1868
Tôn [MC 8686]: St John's (James Turle 1802-82) gwelir: Iesu yw'r enw mawr digoll |
O that all the inhabitants
of the world would come
Together to worthy Jesus!
The arms which enfolded me,
Would enfold human kind.
May expressing his costly righteousness
Be my work in a world of pain;
And expounding the merit
of his dear love,
Publishing "Behold the Lamb!"
tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion
|
Oh, that the world might
taste and see
The riches of his grace!
The arms of love that compass me
Would all mankind embrace.
His only righteousness I show
His saving grace proclaim:
'Tis all my business
here below
To cry, "Behold the Lamb!"
