HYMN VI.
G. R. G. (George Richard Gould) Pughe translation
“But God is faithful” 1 Cor. x, 18.
“Cofia, Arglwydd, dy ddyweddi,”
Lord, remember, we implore Thee, And defend from every foe Thy poor spouse that bends before Thee Palpitating as a doe: Be Thou unto her a Pillar To direct her in the night,— To illuminate and fill her With the lustre of Thy Light.
Life is far more strange than fiction,— But its immortality In defiance of affliction Magnifies its mystery. When the winnowing commences, Lord, enable us to stand Purified from past offences At the last on Thy Right Hand.
O that, as a cloud ascending Upwards to the skies above, We may rise, and with unending Rapture realise Thy Love! Three in One, The Same as ever, God proclaims His Name to be Alpha and Omega, never Failing in fidelity.
