This is a cross-stitch sampler produced by Margaret Lewis, aged 10, in 1834. This example incorporates the popular Welsh hymn Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah. Early elementary schools and Sunday schools instructed children in the Bible and singing as well as needlework, which come together in this religious piece of schoolwork. Mae hwn yn sampl o groesbwyth a grÎwyd gan Margaret Lewis, 10 oed, ym 1834. Maeír enghraifft hon yn cyfunoír emyn Cymreig poblogaidd Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah. Roedd ysgolion cynradd cynnar ac ysgolion Sul yn dysguír Beibl a chanu i blant, yn ogystal ‚ gwaith gwnÔo, syín dod ynghyd yn y darn crefyddol hwn o waith ysgol.
