Caned a welodd wawr,
Yn codi o'r t'w'llwch du;
Caned a brofodd flas
Grawn-sypiau'r
Ganaan fry:
Ni ddown, ni ddown
i Sion fryn,
Er maint yr holl anialwch hyn.
Mae'r faner fawr y'mlaen,
'R efengyl wen o hyd;
Mae uffern lawn o dān,
Yn crynu'n awr ynghyd;
Hi gwymp, hi gwymp, er maint ei grym,
O flaen yr Iesu 'dyw hi ddim.
Wel, bellach tyr'd y'mlaen,
Nac ofna f'enaid mwy,
Llai grym sy'n uffern dān,
Na dwyfol farwol glwy':
Telynau aur sy'n canu'n un,
Effeithiol goncwest Mab y Dyn.
A thyma'r bore ddydd,
Cāf finnau seinio cān,
'Nol fy nghaethiwed maith,
Am waredigaeth lān:
O hyfryd ddydd, pa bryd y daw?
'Rwy'n ammeu fod y wawr gerllaw.

Caned a welodd wawr
Yn codi o'r twllwch du;
Caned a brofodd flas
Grawnsypiau'r
Ganaan fry;
Ni ddown, ni ddown,
i Seion fryn,
Er maint yr holl anialwch hyn.
Na lwfwrhaed ein ffydd;
Mae'n ffydd fel colofn dān
A blannodd Brenin nef
I'n harwain yn y blaen;
Mi wela'r wlad, mi ga'i mwynhau,
Lle bydd fy hedd
heb dranc na thrai.
William Williams 1717-91
Tonau [666688]: gwelir: Dysgleiria foreu wawr Mae'r faner fawr ym mlaen Wel bellach tyr'd yn mlaen |
Let him sing, who saw the dawn
Rising from the black darkness;
Let him sing, who experienced a taste
Of the grape-clusters of
the Canaan above;
We shall come, we shall
come to Zion hill,
Despite the extent of all this desert.
Ahead is the great flag,
Of the bright gospel always;
Hell is full of fire,
Trembling now altogether;
It falls, it falls, despite its power,
Before Jesus it is nothing.
Now, henceforth come on,
Nor fear, my soul, any more,
Less the power that is in hell fire,
Than a divine mortal wound:
Golden harps are singing as one,
The effectual conquest of the Son of Man.
And here is the morn of day,
When I too shall get to sound a song,
After my long captivity,
About holy deliverance:
O lovely day, when shall it come?
I am doubting that the dawn is at hand.

Let him sing, who saw the dawn
Rising from the black darkness;
Let him sing, who experienced a taste
Of the grape-clusters of
the Canaan above;
We shall come, we shall
come to Zion hill,
Despite the extent of all this desert.
Let not our faith lose heart;
Our faith is like a pillar of fire
The King of heaven planted
To lead us onwards;
I see the land, I shall get to enjoy it,
Where my peace shall be
without dying or ebbing.
tr. 2018 Richard B Gillion
