Pa ham mewn terfysg yr ymwnâ
Iuddewon a Chenedloedd:
I gyd-gynghori ' fwrw i lawr
Enneiniog mawr y nefoedd?
Breninoedd a phenaethiaid byd,
Sy'n llunio 'nghyd oferedd:
Yn erbyn Duw yn ddi-wahân,
A Christ ei lân Etifedd.
Yr Arglwydd gwawdieu'u terfysg gref,
A'i orsedd ef cynhaliodd:
Cyfododd ef o farw i fyw;
Ei Fab ef yw addefodd.
Yn awr esgynnodd Crist uwch ben,
Myn lywio'r ddae'ren isod:
Mae'n dadleu'i waed,
a'i glodfawr waith,
A'i enedigaeth uchod.
Mae'n gofyn teyrnas gan y Tad,
O werth ei wa'd a'i haeddiant:
A'r Tad yn addo iddo hyd
Eithafoedd byd yn feddiant.
Y bobloedd a'u gwrthsafant 'o,
Cânt deimlo'i wialen haiarn:
Anrhydedd Duw ei Dad o'r nef
Amddiffyn ef yn gadarn.

Why in tumult do behave
Jews and Gentiles:
To take counsel together to cast down
The great Anointed One of heaven?
Kings and rulers of the world,
Are plotting together vainly:
Against God undividedly,
And Christ his holy Heir.
The Lord mocks their strong tumult,
And his throne he upheld:
He raised him from dead to alive;
He is his Son, he owned.
Now Christ ascended overhead,
He desires to govern the earth below:
He argues his blood,
and his praiseworthy work,
And his birth, above.
He asks for a kingdom from the Father,
From his blood's worth and its merit:
And the Father promises it to him to
The ends of the world as a possession.
The peoples who oppose him,
Get to feel his iron rod:
The honour of God his Father from heaven
Shall defend him firmly.

The peoples who oppose him,
Shall get to feel his iron rod:
He shall strike them heavily
from yonder heaven,
When he raise his hand firmly.

Why did the Gentiles rage,
And Jews with one accord
Bend all their counsels to destroy
Th' anointed of the Lord?
Rulers and kings agree
To form a vain design;
Against the Lord their powers unite,
Against his Christ they join.
The Lord derides their rage,
And will support his throne;
He that hath rais'd him from the dead
Hath own'd him for his Son.
Now he's ascended high,
And asks to rule the earth;
The merit of his
blood be pleads,
And pleads his heavenly birth.
He asks, and God bestows
A large inheritance;
Far as the world's remotest ends
His kingdom shall advance.
The nations that rebel
Must feel his iron rod;
He'll vindicate those honours well
Which he receiv'd from God.
