Cymer, Iesu, fi fel 'r ydwyf

Representative Text

1 Cymer, Iesu, fi fel’ rydwyf,
Fyth ni allaf fod yn well;
Dallu di am gwna yn agos,
Fewyllys i yw mynd ymhell
Yn, dy glwyfau,
yn dy glwyfau,
Bydda’i’n unig fyth yn iach,
Bydda’i’n unig fyth yn iach.

2 Mi ddiffygiais deithior crastir
Dyrys anial wrthyf f’hun
Ac mi fethais â choncwerio
O’m gelynion lleiaf un
Mae dy enw,
Mae dy enw,
Mae dy enw
’N able i beri i’r cryfaf ffoi,
’N able i beri i’r cryfaf ffoi.

3 Gwaed y Groes sy’n codi i fyny,
’Reiddil yn goncwerwr mawr:
Gwaed dy Groes sydd yn darostwng,
Cewri cedyrn fyrdd i lawr.
Gad im deimlo,
Gad im deilo,
Gad im deimlo
Awel O Galfaria fryn,
Awel O Galfaria fryn.

4 Ymddiriedaf yn dy allu,
Mawr yw’r gwaith a wnest erioed;
Ti gest angeu, Ti gest uffern,
Ti gest Satan dan dy droed.
Pen Calfaria,
Pen Calfaria,
Pen Calfaria,
Nac aed hwnw byth om cof,
Nac aed hwnw byth om cof.
