Cân, fy nhafod, am yr ornest,
Gornest ogoneddus iawn;
Ac uwch arwydd Croes yr Iesu
Bloeddia'r fuddugoliaeth lawn;
Ceidwad byd a'i rhoes ei hunan,
Gan orchfygu un prynhawn.
Duw, pan dwyllwyd
gynt ein cyndad,
O'i dosturi dwfn at ddyn,
Pryd y profai'r ffrwyth niweidiol,
Gan ddwyn angau arno'i hun,
Ebrywdd drefnai'r Groes i wella
Drygau'r marwol
bren bob un.
Gwaith ein hiachawdwriaeth drefnai
Arfaeth nef,
y lle a'r awr,
Dyfais Duw a
lwyr ddymchwelai
Dwyll y temtiwr oll i lawr,
Ac fe ddygai falm i'r clwyfau
Gawsom gan ein gelyn mawr.
Pan o'r diwedd daeth cyflawnder
Amser gosodedig Duw,
Wedi'i anfon oddi uchod
Ganed Ceidwad dynol-ryw,
Ac o Fair Fendigaid Forwyn
Gyda ni y daeth i fyw.

Sing, my tongue, about the contest,
The very glorious contest;
And above the sign of the cross of Jesus
Shout the full victory;
The Saviour of the world who gave himself,
Thus overcoming one afternoon.
God, when our forefather
was deceived of old,
Of his deep mercy towards man,
When he tasted the harmful fruit,
Thus taking death upon himself,
Speedily planned the Cross to heal
The evils of the mortal
tree of every one.
The work of our salvation the purpose
Of heaven was planning,
the place and the hour,
The scheme of God that would
completely bring down
The deception of the tempter to ruin,
And he brought the balm for the wounds
We got from our great enemy.
When at last came the fullness
Of God's set time,
Having been sent from above
The Saviour of human-kind ws born,
And from the Blessed Virgin Mary
With us he came to live.

Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle,
Sing the ending of the fray;
Now above the cross, the trophy,
Sound the loud triumphant lay:
Tell how Christ the world’s Redeemer,
As a victim won the day.
He, our maker,
deeply grieving
That the first made Adam fell,
When he ate the fruit forbidden
Whose reward was death and hell,
Marked e'en then this tree the ruin
Of the first tree
to dispel.
Tell how, when at length the fullness,
Of th'appointed time was come,
Christ, the Word, was born of woman,
Left for us His heavenly home;
Showed us human life made perfect,
Shone as light amid the gloom.
