Wele'r fath gariad rhyfedd, rhad,
A roddwyd arnom gan y Tad;
Ni bechaduriaid, marwol ryw,
Ein galw wnaed yn blant i Dduw.
Nid yw beth synn ar hyn o bryd,
Os na'n hadweinir gan y byd;
Ni 'nabu'r byd
'mo wir Fab Duw,
Sef Crist ei hun, peth athrist yw.
Ac ni amlygwyd etto'n wir
Mor fawr y cawn ni fod cyn hir;
Ond pan ddisgyno Crist o'r nef,
Cawn fod yn debyg iddo ef.
Gwirionedd yw fod pob yr un
S' a'r gobaith hwn yn puro'i hun;
Oddiwrth bob nwyd a phechod cas,
Yn bur fel Crist,
trwy rym ei ras.
Am hyny os caf, O nefol Dad,
Ran fabaidd yn dy gariad rhad;
I orphwys doed dy Yspryd di
Fel c'lommen ar fy nghalon i.
Na ad im' mwyach
fel caeth was,
Nesâu'n ddigręd at orsedd gras;
Rho ffydd i lefain, Abba, Dad,
Ac arddel fi fel un o'th had.
y cawn ni fod cyn hir :: ryw ddydd y cawn ni fod Gwirionedd yw fod pob yr un :: Ac yn diammeu mae pob un Am hyny os caf :: O! dod i mi

Tonau [MH 8888]: |
See what wonderful, free love,
Is set upon us my the Father;
We sinners, of a mortal kind,
Called we are children of God.
It is not a surprising thing by now,
If we are not recognized by the world;
The world does not recognize
the true Son of God,
That is Christ himself, a sad thing it is.
And it is not evident truly
How great we can get to be before long;
But when Christ descends from heaven,
We shall get to be like him.
Truth it is that every one
Who has this hope purifies himself;
From every lust and detestable sin,
Pure like Christ,
through the force of his grace.
Therefore if I get, O heavenly Father,
A filial part in thy free love;
To rest let thy Spirit come
Like a dove on my heart.
Do not let me any more
like a captive servant,
Approach unbelieving thy throne of grace;
Grant faith to cry, Abba, Father,
And own me as one of thy seed.
we can get to be before long :: some day we can get to be Truth it is that every one :: And doubtless it is that ever Therefore if I get :: O give to me tr. 2019 Richard B Gillion |
Behold what wondrous grace
The Father has bestowed
On sinners of a mortal race,
To call them sons of God!
'Tis no surprising thing
That we should be unknown;
The Jewish world
knew not their King,
God's everlasting Son.
Nor doth it yet appear
How great we must be made;
But when we see our Saviour here,
We shall be like our Head.
A hope so much divine
May trials well endure;
May purge our souls
from sense and sin,
As Christ the Lord is pure.
If in my Father’s love
I share a filial part,
Send down Thy Spirit like a dove,
To rest upon my heart.
We would no longer lie
Like slaves
beneath the throne;
My faith shall Abba, Father, cry,
And thou the kindred own.
