Clyw, f'enaid, clyw,
angylaidd dôn yn esgyn
Dros ddolydd gwyrdd,
a glannau'r eigion pell;
A melys iawn
yw'r gwynfydedig destun,
Sef bywyd pur
y nefol wlad sydd well:
Engyl yr Iesu, Engyl y wawr,
Adre sy'n galw
llesg bererinion llawr.
Awn, awn ymlaen,
clywch atsain cân yr engyl,
"Dewch, deithwyr blin,"
medd Iesu, "tua'ch gwlad":
A thrwy y nos
hyfrydlais yr Efengyl
A'n harwain fry i dawel dŷ ein Tad:
Engyl yr Iesu, &c.
Draw, draw ymhell,
fel melys glychau'r gosber,
Llais Iesu ddaw
dros dir a môr mewn swyn;
A miloedd llwythog a ddaw
yn eu blinder
I'th geisio Di,
O nefol Fugail mwyn!
Engyl yr Iesu, &c.
Cawn orffwys, cawn,
ar ôl helbulon bywyd,
Cawn fore teg
ar ôl y cyfnos du;
Terfyna taith ein fydd
mewn nefol wynfyd
Sy'n aros yn y
lân baradwys fry:
Engyl yr Iesu, &c.

Tôn [11.10.11.10.9.11]: |
Hear, my soul, hear,
an angelic tune ascending
Over green meadows,
and the shore of the distant ocean;
And very sweet
is the blessed theme,
That is the pure life of
the heavenly land that is better:
Angels of Jesus, Angels of the dawn,
Home are calling
weary pilgrims below.
Let us go, let us go onward,
hear ye the echo of the angel's song,
"Come, weary strangers,"
says Jesus, "toward your land":
And through the night
the gospel's delightful voice
Leads us up to our Father's quiet house:
Angels of Jesus, &c.
Yonder, far yonder,
like the sweet bells of the vesper,
The voice of Jesus yonder
across land and sea in charm;
And thousands burdened shall come
in their exhaustion
To seek thee,
O gentle heavenly Shepherd!
Angels of Jesus, &c.
We may get rest, we may,
after the tumults of life,
We may get a fair morn
after the black nightfall;
Our faith's journey shall end
in heavenly blessedness
Which awaits in the
holy paradise above.
Angels of Jesus, &c.
tr. 2021 Richard B Gillion

Hark! hark, my soul!
Angelic songs are swelling,
O'er earth's green fields
And ocean's wave-beat shore:
How sweet the truth
Those blessèd strains are telling
Of that new life
When sin shall be no more.
Angels of Jesus, angels of light,
Singing to welcome
The pilgrims of the night!
Onward we go,
For still we hear them singing,
Come, weary souls,
For Jesus bids you come;
And through the dark,
Its echoes sweetly ringing,
The music of The Gospel leads us home.
Angels of Jesus, &c.
Far, far away,
Like bells at evening pealing,
The voice of Jesus
Sounds o'er land and sea;
And laden souls,
By thousands meekly stealing,
Kind Shepherd, turn
Their weary steps to Thee.
Angels of Jesus, &c.
Rest comes at length:
Though life be long and dreary,
The day must dawn,
And darksome night be past;
Faith's journeys end
In welcome to the weary,
And Heaven, the heart's
True home, will come at last.
Angels of Jesus, &c.
Frederick William Faber 1814-63
