HYMN VII.
G. R. G. (George Richard Gould) Pughe translation
“This do in remembrance of me.” S. Luke xxii., 19.
“Nid oes gwrthddrych ar y ddaear”
Earthly treasure, heaped together Into one enormous whole, Were it all my own, could never Satisfy my lonely soul. Only Jesus Christ can fill me With the vivifying light Of His countenance and thrill me With ineffable delight.
Feasting at His holy table On the tokens of His love, Though unworthy, I am able To be One with Him above. With the loss of one offending Member I should be content When I think of an unending Period of punishment.
What a daily delectation To my feeble fainting soul Is The Fountain of Salvation Which alone can make me whole! Thus in calm anticipation Of the coming of The Lord, While I live my meditation Is His Everlasting Word.
Soon my soul shall cease to wander After earth’s frivolities. And be overwhelmed with wonder At Divine realities. Perish doubt and hesitation! Things unseen do not deceive,— In Thy Plenary Salvation, Blessed Jesus, I believe.
