Ar edyn ffydd,
c'od, f'enaid, uwch y byd,
A gwel y gyfran
yn y nefoedd glyd!
Nis traetha tafod fyth
y mwyniant pêr
Sydd yn yr ardal lòn
uwch haul a sêr;
Lle mae fy Mrynwr trud
mewn gwir ogoniant,
Uwch uffern ddû a'r bedd,
yn cael y moliant.
I'r ardal hon ni ddaw
na braw na phoen,
Na gelyn mwy i ŵydd
yr addfwyn Oen;
Na thristwch prudd,
nac ofn o un rhyw;
Pob deigryn hallt
a sychir ffwrdd gan Dduw,
Lle mae fy Mrynwr trud
...
O flaen y fainc
rhed afon ddisglaer gu,
A gwyrdd-der haf
byth ar ei glànau sy;
A brigau Dwyfol
Pren y Bywyd pur
Gysgoda holl
drigolion nefol dir,
Lle mae fy Mrynwr trud
...
Ni ddengys haul
ei ddifudd oleu wawr,
A goleu gwàn y lloer
'does eisiau 'nawr;
Tywyna'r Duwdod
yma lewyrch mwy,
Mewn hawddfyd hir,
heb elyn byth na chlwy',
Lle mae fy Mrynwr trud
...
Un olwg hoff
a leinw'm henaid gwàn! -
Iesu! pa bryd
y caf di imi'n rhan! -
Pa bryd caf dirio
i fy nghartref gwiw,
A gado'r ddaear hon
a dechreu byw,
Lle mae fy Mrynwr trud
mewn gwir ogoniant,
Uwch uffern ddû a'r bedd,
yn cael y moliant?

Tonau [10.10.10.10.11.11]: gwelir: Trwy Ddinas Duw rhêd afon ddisglaer gu |
On the wings of faith,
rise, my soul, above the world,
And see the whole
in secure heaven!
No tongue shall ever expound
the sweet enjoyment
That is in the cheerful region
above sun and stars;
Where my precious Redeemer is
in true glory,
Above black hell and the grave,
getting the praise.
To that region shall come
neither terror nor pain,
Nor any enemy any more into the presence
of the dear Lamb;
Nor sad sorrow
nor fear of any kind;
Every salt tear
shall be dried away by God,
Where my precious Redeemer is
...
Before the throne
runs a dear shining river,
And the verdancy of summer
is forever on its banks;
And the twigs of the pure
Divine Tree of Life
Shades all the inhabitants
of heavenly land,
Where my precious Redeemer is
...
The sun shall not show
its dim light of dawn,
And of the weak light of the moon
there is no need now;
The radiance of the Godhead
shall shine here evermore,
In long blessedness
with never any enemy or wound,
Where my precious Redeemer is
...
One delightful view
shall fill my weak soul! -
Jesus, when shall
I get thee as my portion? -
When shall I land
at my worthy home,
And leave this earth
and begin to live,
Where my precious Redeemer is
in true glory,
Above black hell and the grave,
getting the praise?
tr. 2018 Richard B Gillion
