Ein Duw, ein nerth
drwy'r oesau fu,
Ein gobaith am y ddaw,
Ein cysgod rhag y corwynt cry',
A'n cartref bythol draw;
Bu trigfa dy orseddfainc Di
Erioed i'th saint yn nyth;
Dy fraich ei hunan, digon hi;
Yn noddfa i ninnau byth.
Cyn trefnu'r bryniau
wrth eu rhyw,
Cyn cael
o'r ddaear lun,
O dragwyddoldeb Ti wyt Duw,
Heb ddiwedd oes, yr un.
Mil o flynyddoedd gennyt sydd
Fel hediad hwyrol awr,
Fel gwyliadwriaeth nesa'r dydd
Yn ffoi o flawn a wawr.
Amser, fel ffrwd lifeiriol glau,
Ddwg heibio'i blant o hyd;
Ehedant megis breuddwyd brau
Ddiflanna'r bore i gyd.
Ein Duw, ein nerth
drwy'r oesau fu,
Ein gobaith am a ddaw,
Tra pery trallod bydd o'n tu,
A'n cartref bythol draw.

Tôn [MC 8686]: St Ann(e) (William Croft 1678-1727)
gwelir: |
Our God, our strength
through ages that were,
Our hope for what is to come,
Our shelter against the strong gale,
And our everlasting home yonder;
A residence was Thy throne
Always for thy saints a nest;
Thy arm itself, sufficient it is;
A refuge for us forever.
Before the arrangement of the hills
by their kind,
Before getting
from the earth a design,
From eternity Thou art God,
For an endless age, the same.
A thousand years with thee are
Like a lark of an evening hour,
Like a watch nearing the day
Fleeing before the dawn.
Time, like a swiftly flowing stream,
Bears away its children always;
They fly as a fragile dream
Totally vanishes in the morning.
Our God, our strength
through ages that were,
Our hope for what is to come,
While trouble continues be on our side,
And our everlasting home yonder.
tr. 2009 Richard B Gillion

Our God, our help
in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.
Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure.
Before the hills
in order stood,
Or earth
received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.
A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
Time, like an ever rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly, forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.
Our God, our help
in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while troubles last,
And our eternal home.
