TREFN Y GWASANAETH

EMYN

Ar fôr tymhestlog teithio'r wyf
I fyd sydd well i fyw.
Gan wenu ar ei stormydd oll-
Fy Nhad sydd wrth y llyw.

Er cael fy nhaflu o don i don,
Nes ofni bron cael byw.
Dihangol ydwyf hyd yn hyn-
Fy Nhad sydd wrth y llyw.

Ac os oes stormydd mwy yn ôl,
Yng nghadw gan fy Nuw.
Wynebaf arnynt oll yn hy-
Fy Nhad sydd wrth y llyw.

I mewn i'r porthladd tawel, clyd,
O swn y storm a'i chlyw,
Y caf funediad llon ryw ddydd-
Fy Nhad sydd wrth y llyw.

PSALM 121

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills : from whence cometh my help?
My help cometh from the Lord : who hath made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved : and he that keepeth thee will not sleep.
Behold he that keepeth Israel : shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord himself is thy keeper : the Lord upon thy right hand shall give thee shade:
The sun shall not strike thee by day : neither shall the moon by night.
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil : yea it is he that shall keep thee safe.
The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in : from this time forth for ever-more.

LLITH / LESSON

PRAYERS

The Lord be with you:
And with thy spirit.

Let us pray.

Lord, have mercy upon us.
Christ have mercy upon us.
Lord, have mercy upon us.

THE LORD'S PRAYER

Thou art the King of Glory, O Christ:
Thou art the everlasting Son of the Father.

When Thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death:
Thou didst open the kingdom of heaven to all believers.

Thou sittest at the right hand of God, in the glory of the Father.
We believe that Thou shalt come to be our Judge.

We therefore pray thee, help Thy servants:
Whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy precious blood.

Make them to be numbered with Thy saints:
In glory everlasting.

CYFLWYNIANT / THE COMMENDATION

HYMN

Abide with me: fast falls the eventide.
The darkness deepens: Lord with me abide:
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.

Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day:
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away:
Change and decay in all around I see:
O Thou, Who changest not, abide with me.

I need Thy Presence every passing hour:
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

I fear no foe with Thee at hand to bless:
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness:
Where is death's sting? Where, Grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.

Hold Thou Thy Cross before my closing eyes:
Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies:
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee:
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

The family wish to express their sincere thanks to all relatives, friends and neighbours for the many kind expressions of sympathy received in their bereavement.

Dymuna'r teulu ddiolch un gynnes iawn i bawb am bob arwydd o gydymdeimlad mewn gair a gweithred ac am bob caredigrwydd a ddangosyd iddynt yn eu profedigaeth.

On 22nd March 2004, Phil's ashes were scattered in a private ceremony in the gardens of his former home.
