Am hyny pob creadur
Wel rhoddwch allan gân,
O'r mwyaf eu maintioli,
Hyd at y lleiaf mân;
Cyhoeddwch gyda'ch gilydd,
Yn llawen, nid yn drist,
Am glod didrai, diderfyn,
A daioni Iesu Grist.
Chwi, bryfed, ef clodforwch,
Sy'n isel ar y llawr,
I lwch y ddaear atoch
Daeth y Messiah mawr;
Ymlusgiaid! O! dyrchefwch
Soniarus gân o'r trwch;
Bu Iesu dri diwrnod
Yn gorwedd yn y llwch.
Chwi, adar ar yr aden,
Sy'n chwareu ar y pren,
Rhowch eich telynau'n barod
I foli Brenin nen;
Holl goedydd yr anialwch,
O! curwch ddwylaw 'nghyd;
Rhyfeddod iddo farw
Ac e'n Greawdwr byd.
Anadled yr awelon,
Murmured pob rhyw nant,
Ryw swn soniarus hyfryd,
Fel bysedd byw ar dant,
I'r hwn ei hun sydd ffynnon
O ddwfr y bywyd pur,
Ac yn anadlu o'i Ysbryd
Gysuron gloyw, clir.
Fellt! fflamiwch ei anrhydedd,
Daranau! seiniwch chwi
Ei glod, tra fyddo'r moroedd
Yn rhuo i maes ei fri;
Chwi, ddefaid mân a geifr,
Cwblhewch yr anthem hyn,
Fel oen dan law y cneifìwr
Bu ar Galfaria fryn.
Ti, ffynnon y goleuni,
Ymgryma i lawr dy ben,
I Haul mil mwy
ei lewyrch
Disgleiriaf yn y nen;
Dwêd yn dy dro diderfyn
Am glod a
mawl fath un,
Sydd â'i belydrau dwyfol
Yn g'leuo enaid dyn.
Angylion, archangylion,
Cydfolwch iddo èf;
A dysgwch ei glodfori
Ef hefyd, nef y nef;
Chwi welsoch anfeidroldeb
Ei air a'i ryfedd rym,
Pan welsoch natur eang
Yn tarddu maes o ddim.
Mil mwy oedd eich rhyfeddod
Yn Gethsemane'n awr,
Wel'd chwys a gwaed yn ddafnau
Yn syrthio ar y llawr;
Pwys bai hiliogaeth Adda
Yn gwasgu i lawr, yn dŷn,
Yr hwn a rodd eich bywyd
Ryw oesoedd maith cyn hyn.
Ond dyn yn enwedigol!
Ië, dyn, dyrchafed lef,
Mewn haleluwia dyblyg,
O'r ddaear gron i'r nef;
Can's dros y dyn yr hoeliwyd
Ef ar y croesbren mawr,
A thros y dyn gorweddodd
Yn ngwaelod bedd i lawr.

Tonau [7676D]: |
Therefore, every creature,
See, set ye forth a song,
From the greatest of their magnitude,
To the smallest place;
Publish ye with one another,
Cheerfully, not sadly,
For the unebbing, endless acclaim,
And goodness of Jesus Christ.
Ye, worms, extol him,
Who are lowly on the ground,
To the dust of the earth to you
Came the great Messiah;
Reptiles, O raise ye
A resounding song all together;
Jesus was for three days
Lying in the dust.
Ye, birds on the wing,
Who are playing on the tree,
Give your harps readily
To praise the King of the sky;
All ye woods of the desert,
O clap your hands together;
How wonderful that he should die
And he the Creator of the world.
Let the breezes breathe,
Let every steam murmur,
Some delightful resounding sound,
Like lively fingers on a string,
To the one himself who is the fountain
O the water of pur life,
And breathing of his comforting,
Bright, clear Spirit.
Lightning, flame ye his honour!
Thunder, sound ye
His acclaim, while ever the seas
Be roaring out his renown!
Ye, little sheep and goats,
Complete this anthem,
Like a lamb under the hand of the shearer
He was on Calvary hill.
Thou, fountain of light,
Bow down thy head,
To a Sun with a shine
a thousand times greater
Most radiant in the sky;
Tell in thy endless orbit
About the acclaim and
praise of such a one,
Who with his divine rays is
Lighting the soul of man.
Angels, archangels,
Praise together unto him;
And teach to extol him
Also, the heaven of heaven;
Ye who say the infinity
Of his word and his wonderful power,
When ye saw broad nature
Issuing forth out of nothing.
A thousand times more was your wonder
In Gethsemane now,
Seeing sweat and blood in drops
Falling onto the ground;
The weight of Adam's descendants' fault
Pressing down, tightly,
Him who gave your life
Some vast ages before this.
But man especially!
Yes, man, let him raise a cry,
In a double Hallelujah,
From the round earth to heaven;
Since for man he was nailed
Onto the great wooden cross,
And for man he lay
Down in the bottom of a grave.
tr. 2025 Richard B Gillion
