Canai yr angylion
yn yr wybren dlos,
A'u hadenydd gwynion
yn goleuo'r nos;
Cenadwri cariad
ddygent hwy i'r byd:
Iesu Grist yn Blentyn,
yn ei isel gryd.
Canwn ninau'n llawen,
Ar bereiddiaf dant,
Groesaw i'r Eneiniog,
Brenhin hoff y plant.
I'r bugeiliaid tawel
ymagorai'r nef,
Iddynt hwy mynegwyd
am ei eni Ef;
Caed yn ninas Dafydd,
heb ddaearol fri,
Mewn cadachau'n gorwedd,
Grist ein Brenhin ni.
Brysio tua'i breseb
wnai'r bugeiliaid cu
Dan ddylanwad canu
y nefolaidd lu;
Yno gwelent Geidwad,
er mewn isel fan,
Carent ac addolent
Grist yn Blentyn gwan.
Yn ei lân blentyndod,
a'i ieuenctid clir,
Ei holl ffyrdd oedd sanctaidd,
a'i holl eiriau'n wir;
Oes ofidus dreuliodd
yma er ein mwyn,
Gyda'i fywyd gwerthfawr
prynodd Ef ei wyn.
Iesu, addfwyn Iesu,
arwain ni bob un,
Gwna ni yn gariadus,
megis Ti dy Hun:
Dyro dy fendithion,
gwrando ar ein cri,
Y mae nawdd i'r egwan
dan dy darian Di.

The angels would sing
in the pretty sky,
With their white wings
lighting the sky;
A dispatch of love
they would bring to the world:
Jesus Christ as a Child,
in his lowly crib.
Let us sing joyfully,
On the sweetest string,
To welcome the Anointed,
Beloved King of the children.
To the quiet shepherds
heaven would open,
To them it was reported
about His birth;
Found in the city of David,
without early esteem,
In nappies lying,
Was Christ our King.
Hurry towards the manger
would the dear shepherds
Under the influence of the singing
of the heavenly host;
There they would see a Saviour,
although in a lowly place,
They would love and worship
Christ as a weak Child.
In his pure childhood,
and his clear youth,
His beloved ways were holy,
and all his words true;
A grievous age he spent
here for our sake,
With his precious life
He redeemed his lambs.
Jesus, gentle Jesus,
lead us every one,
Make us loving,
like Thee Thyself:
Grant thy blessings,
listen to our cry,
There is a refuge for the weak
under Thy shield.
tr. 2015 Richard B Gillion

Sweetly sang the angels
in the clear, calm night,
On their white wings resting
in the heavenly light;
Sent by God the Father,
Who our love has sought,
Unto men and children
tidings glad they brought.
Children, blend your voices,
In sweet concord sing;
Hail the Lord’s anointed,
Christ, the children’s king.
To the gentle shepherds
it was first revealed,
Watching 'mid the darkness
in the open field.
That in David's city,
on that holy morn,
In a lowly stable
Christ, our king, was born.
Gladdened by the tidings,
hastily they sped
To the crowded city
and the manger bed;
There they found the Saviour
with His mother mild;
Him they loved and worshipped,
though a lowly child.
In His simple childhood,
and His sacred youth,
All His ways were holy,
all His ways were truth;
For our sins He suffered,
and, through grief untold,
All His lambs He purchased
for His sacred fold.
Jesus, meek and gentle,
make us like to Thee;
Loving, true, and tender,
Thou wouldst have us be;
Blessings rich and holy,
on this festal day,
Pour Thou out upon us,
Lord we humbly pray.
1873 John Julian 1839-1913
