Fy phiol yma sydd yn llawn 8,8,8,8 My cup doth often while below, With Marah's waters overflow: But care and grief which here annoy, Above shall be absorbed in joy. The fire of love within the breast Is here but fond desire at best: The faintest spark in heaven it knows With an immortal ardour glows. The joy for which I here can hope Is but the small tormenting drop: A fathomless, eternal sea Of bliss shall there encompass me. A distant clouded glimpse is all That Faith on earth may vision call: But unto Faith and Hope in heaven Are prospect and possession given. Crumbs are on earth our richest fare: But banquets wait the pilgrim there. Here cold and faint the songs we raise: But deathless there will be our praise. Here evening shades envelope me; All darkness shall from Zion flee; Without a veil it will be given God face to face to see in Heaven. |
