Cael aros yn y tŷ

(Enwau'r Plant)
  Cael aros yn y tŷ
    Sydd ryw anfeidrol fraint -
  I alw ar Dduw o hyd,
    A moli gyda'r saint:
Mi seiniaf glod ar uchel dant,
Os gwela'i f'enw 'mhlith y plant.

  Mae enwau'i blant i gyd
    Gan Iesu yn y nef;
  Ni chollir un o'r rhain
    Tra paro'i fywyd Ef:
Fe arddel Ei aelodau mân
Ar ôl i'r ddaear fynd ar dân.
Thomas Phillips 1772-1842

(The Children's Names)
  To get to stay in the house
    Is some immeasurable privilege -
  To call on God always,
    And praise with the saints:
I will sound praise on a high string,
If I see my name amongst the children.

  The names of all his children are
    With Jesus in heaven;
  Not one of those is to be lost
    As long as He continues to live:
He will own His little members
After the earth goes on fire.
tr. 2010 Richard B Gillion
