Voice Of An Angel

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now i'm found
Was blind but now i see

T'was grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fear relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour i first believed

Through many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come
T'was grace that brought us safe thus far
And grace will lead us home

When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing god's praise
Than when we first begun

Dy alwad glywir hanner dydd
Fel ffliwt hyfrydlais uwch y rhos
Fel chwiban bugail a fo gudd
Dy alwad glywir hanner nos
Nes clywir, pan ddwys a dy swn
Cyfarth dy anweledig gwn

Dy braidd yw'r moel gymylau maith
A'th barod gwn yw'r pedwar gwynt
Gorlanna'th ddiadelloedd llaith
I'w gwasgar eilwaith ar eu hynt
Yn yrr ddioffwys, laes ddifref
Hyd lynfnion hafodlasau'r nef


Your call is heard at high noon-day
A wistfull flute across the mere
As herdsman's whistle far away
Your call is heard at midnight clear
Then hear we, as you swell your keen
Barking afar, your hounds unseen

Your flocks the massive clouds of grey
And all four winds, your eager hounds
Awhile do pen them are they stray
And scattler once more out of bounds
A mute and restless drove on high
Amid the shieling of the sky

Hunan blentyn, ar fy mynwes
Clyd a chynnes ydyw hon
Breichiau mam sy'n dyn amdanat
Cariad mam sy dan fy mron
Ni chaiff dim amharu'th gyntun
Ni wna undyn a thi gam
Huna'n dawel, annwyl bientyn
Huna'n fwyn ar fron dy fam

Huna'n dawel hana huna
Huna'n fwyn y del ei lun
Pam yr wyt yn awr yn gwenum
Gwenu'n dirion yn dy hun
Ai angylion fry sy'n gwenu
Arnat yno'n gwenu'n lion
Titha'u'n gwenu'n ol a huno
Huno'n dawel ar fy mron

Paid ag ofni, dim ond deilen
Gura, gura ar y ddor
Paid aga ofni ton fach unig
Sua, sua ar lan y mor
Huna blentyn nid oes yma
Ddim i roddi iti fraw
Gwena'n dawel ar fy mynwes
Ar yr engyl gwynion draw

To my lullaby surrender
Warm and tender is my breast
Mother's arms with love caressing
Lay their blessing on your rest
Nothing shall tonight alarm you
None shall harm you, have no fear
Lie contented, calmly slumber
On your mother's breast, my dear

Here tonight i tightly hold you
And enfold you while you sleep
Why, i wonder, are you smiling
Smiling in your slumber deep?
Are the angels on you smiling
And beguiling you with charm
While you also smile, my blossom
In my bosom soft and warm?

Have no fear now, leaves are knocking
Gently knocking at our door
Have no fear now, waves are beating
Gently beating on the shore
Sleep, my darling, none shall harm you
Nor alarm you, never cry
In my bosom sweetly smiling
And beguiling those on high

O danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone and all the roses falling
Tis you, tis you must go and i must bide

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
Tis I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow
Oh danny boy, oh danny boy, i love you so

Andwhen ye come and all the flow'rs are dying
If i am dead, as dead i may well be
Ye'll come and find the place where i am lying
And kneel and say an ave there for me

And i shall hear through soft your tread above me
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And i shall sleep in peace unitl you come to meet

The lord is my shepherd, there is nothing i shall want
Fresh and green are the pastures where he gives me repose
Near restful waters he leads me to revive my dropping spirit
He guides me along the right path
He is true to his name
If i should walk in the valley of darkness, no evil would i fear
You are there with your crook and your staff, with these you give me compfort
You have prepared a banquet for me in the sight of my foes
My head you have anointed with oil, my cup is overflowing
Surely goodness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my life
In the lord's own house shall i dwell for ever and ever
In the lord's own house shall i dwell for ever

Ave maria, ave maria, repeat

I'll set you a-swing in a purple bell
Of the lady finger
Where brown bees linger
And loiter long
I'll set you a-swing in a fairy dell
To the silv'ry ring
Of a fairy song

I'll put you afloat in a boat of pearl
On a moonlit sea
Where your path shall be
Of silver and blue
To fairyland children, sweet girl
To its rode-strewn strand bathed in glistining dew
Bathed in glist'ning dew

I'll make you a nest, a soft, warm nest
In my heart's core
Alanniv ashore
When day is gone
Where cosily curled on mother's breast
My share o' the world
You'll rest till dawn

Pan fyddair'r nos yn olau
A llwch y ffordd yn wyn
A'r bont yn wag sy'n croesi'r dwr
Difwstwr ym mhen llyn
Y tylluanod yn eu tro
Glywid o lwyncoed cwm y glo

Pan siglari'r hwyaid gwylltion
Wrth angor dan y lloer
A llyn y efridd ar ffridd y llyn
Trostynt yn chwipio'n oer
Lleisio'n ddidostur wnaent i ru
Y gwynt o goed y mynydd du

Pan lithrai gloyw ddwr glaslyn
I'r gwyll, fel cledd i'r wain
Pan gochai pell ffenestri'r plas
Rhwny briglas lwyni'r brain
Pan gaeal syrthni safnau'r cwn
Nosai ynys for yn eu swn

A phan dywlla'r cread
Wedi'i wallgofddydd maith
A dyfod gosteg diystwr
Pob gweithiwr a phob gwaith
Ni bydd eu lladin ar fy llw
Na llon na lieddf "tw-whit, tw-hw."


When night was lit by moon-glow
And dustly roads lay white
The empty bridge bestrode the stream
O'er water's gleam so bright
The owls were heard, each one in turn
From cwm y glo across the burn

When wild ducks swayed at anchor
Beneath the moonbeams bold
When moaning wind it's woe did sing
Whipping the wavelets cold
Pitiless was their hooting then
From myndd du across the glen

When gleaming glaslyn glided
Through dusk, like sword to sheath
When distant mansion's windows glowed
Through shadowed woodland's wreath
When sullen silence woodland's wreath
Ynysfor's night to their sounds

And when the worlds shall darken
Ended their frantic day
And when the stealthy stillness minds
All mankind's work and play
Still shall their latin sound, 'its true"
Nor glad nor sad, "tu shit, tu whool"

When at night i go to sleep
Fourteen angels watch do keep
Two my head are guarding
Two my feet are guiding
Two are on my right hand
Two are on my left hand
Two who warmly cover
Two who o'er me hover
Two to whom 'tis given
To guide my steps to heaven
