HYMN XXXV.
G. R. G. (George Richard Gould) Pughe translation
“Far be it for me to glory save in the Cross” Gal. vi., 14.
“Nid oes gwrthrych ar y ddaear”
Earth’s emoluments and pleasure Fail to fascinate my mind When I contemplate the treasure Gained by Christ for all mankind. He, though greater than a creature Such as I can comprehend, Can compose my craving nature With the Comfort of a Friend.
O for Grace to live depending On His Merits and to meet, After death, in life unending, Him before the judgment seat!— Grace to bear whatever crosses Come, because He bore His Own, And to learn that earthly losses Lead to where no care is known!
