Tydi Gynhaliwr mawr pob dyn

(Cymorth Cyfamserol)
Tydi, Gynhaliwr mawr pob dyn,
  O! estyn im dy allu,
I'm cynnal ar y rhiwiau serth
  Pan fo fy nerth yn pallu.

Tydi, Oleuni mawr y byd,
  Rho'r hyfryd dywyniadau,
Pan fyddwyf yn yr anial du
  Yn cefnu ar dy lwybrau.

Tydi, Ddiddanydd mawr y saint,
  Yn nydd yr haint echryslon,
O! dyro dy dangnefedd pur
  I symud cur y galon!

Tydi, Waredwr mawr pob oes,
  Tyn fi at groes fy Ngheidwad;
Ac arwain f'enaid at y llu
  Sy'n canu am dy gariad.
John James Williams 1869-1954

Dominus Regit Me (J B Dykes 1823-76)
Llanidloes (J A Lloyd 1815-74)

(Timely Help)
Thou, Sustainer of every man,
  Oh extend to me thy power,
To uphold me on the steep hills
  When my strength be failing!

Thou, great Light of the world,
  Grant the delightful rays,
When I am in the black desert
  Turning my back on thy paths!

Thou, great Comforter of the saints,
  In the day of the terrible infection,
Oh give your pure peace
  To remove the wounding of the heart!

Thou, great Deliverer of every age,
  Draw me to the cross of my Saviour;
And lead my soul to the host
  Who are singing about thy love!
tr. 2025 Richard B Gillion
