'Rwy'n llefain, Arglwydd, yn y llwch,
Mewn edifeirwch calon,
Am imi d'adael Di, fy Nuw,
A mynd i fyw'n afradlon.
Mi grwydrais tua'r anial wlad,
A thŷ fy Nhad adewais;
Ac ar deganau gwael y byd
Fy na i gyd a weriais.
Ond er i'm henaid grwydr'n ffôl,
Dof eto'n ôl hyd atat;
A rhof fy mywyd nos a dydd
I weini'n ufudd arnat.
O! Arglwydd, gwrando ar fy nghri,
Ac arwain fi â'th Ysbryd,
Nes cwrdd â'r teulu'n
Nhŷ fy Nhad,
Yng ngwlad y bythol wynfyd.
John James Williams 1869-1954
Tonau [MS 8787]: |
I am calling, Lord, in the dust,
In heart-felt repentance,
Since I left thee, my God,
And went to live prodigally.
I wandered towards the desert land,
And the house of my Father I left;
And on the base trinkets of the world
All my goods I spent.
But although my soul wandered foolishly,
I shall ome again back unto thee;
And give my life night and day
To serve obediently upon thee.
O Lord, listen to my cry,
And lead me with thy Spirit,
Until I meet with the family
in my Father's house,
In the land of everlasting blessedness.
tr. 2025 Richard B Gillion
