O! 'r iachawdwriaeth fawr yng Nghrist,
Swn melys hyfryd yw i'm clust;
Balm cryf i'm clwyfau o bob rhyw,
A chysur im dan ofnau yw.
O! wele iachawdwriaeth lawn,
Gwellhad ysbrydol ynddi gawn;
Yr iachawdwriaeth helaeth hon
Sy'n llwyr iachau
holl friwiau'r fron.
Mewn bedd o bechod gorwedd bu
Ein henaid wrth ddrws uffern ddu;
Ond codi'r ym,
trwy ras ein Duw,
I weled nefol ddydd, a byw.
Aed swn yr iachawdwriaeth fawr
O amgylch ogylch daear lawr;
A boed i'r nef a'i lluoedd llon
Gyfodi eu llef i seinio hon.

Yr iechydwriaeth fawr yng Nghrist,
Sŵn melys hyfryd yw i'm clust;
Balm cryf i'm clwyfau o bob rhyw,
A chordial im rhag ofnau yw.
Aed sŵn yr iechydwriaeth fawr
O ddeutu'r ddaear faith yn awr;
O boed i'r nef a'i lluoedd llon
Gyfodi llef i seinio hon.

Tonau [MH 8888]: |
The great salvation in Christ,
Is a sweet, delightful sound to my ear;
A strong balm to my wounds of every kind,
And a comfort to me under fears it is.
O see full salvation,
Spiritual healing in it we get;
This generous salvation
Is completely healing
all the bruises of the breast.
In a grave of sin were lying
Our souls at the door of black hell;
But rising we are,
through the grace of our God,
To see a heavenly day, and live.
Let the sound of the great salvation go
Round about the earth below;
And let heaven with its cheerful hosts
Raise their cry to sound this.

O the great salvation in Christ,
Is a sweet, delightful sound to my ear;
A strong balm to my wounds of every kind,
And a cordial to me against fears it is.
Let the sound of the great salvation go
Around the vast earth now;
O let heaven with its cheerful hosts
Raise a cry to sound this.
tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion |
Salvation! O the joyful sound!
What pleasure to our ears!
A sovereign balm for every wound,
A cordial for our fears.
Buried in sorrow and in sin,
And at hell's dark door we lay;
But we arise
by grace divine
To see a heavenly day.
Salvation! let the echo fly
The spacious earth around;
While all the armies of the sky
Conspire to raise the sound!
