HYMN XVI.
G. R. G. (George Richard Gould) Pughe translation
“Being confident of this very thing,” Philip i. 6.
“O! Arglwydd Dduw rhagluniaeth,”
O God of Providence And consolation, Thou, Whose omnipotence Controls creation, Enable me to stand In tribulation Awaiting at Thine Hand Emancipation.
Assist my soul to see What angels try to trace,— The Gospel Harmony,— Love, Fellowship and Grace,— Godhead and Manhood met, Mysteriously One, In Him who paid my debt,— Thy Well-beloved Son.
My sinful soul arise, Shake off thy lethargy, Awake and realise The Ransom wrought for thee. Trust His Divinity That could so sympathise, And His Humanity Which was The Sacrifice.
Though hurricanes may blow And billows overwhelm My battered bark, I know That Thou art at the helm, My Saviour and My God! I therefore need not fear The swelling of the flood Of sin with Thee so near.
