Coronau gwych y ddaear - Gorseddau mawr eu bri - Ddiflanant, O! mor gynar! Fel ewyn gwyn y lli'; Ond coron milwyr Iesu, A gorsedd plentyn nef, Saif, er i'r haul dywyllu, A siglo o'r ddaear gref! O! awn ymlaen yn wrol, Ar ôl y dedwydd lu Ragflaenodd yn orchfygol Trwy byrth y ddinas fry; Mae sain eu per anthemau Yn dianc dros y don; Awn, awn trwy anawsterau I blith y dyrfa lon. Ymlaen, chwi filwyr ffyddlon, Mae Duw yn galw'n awr, A byddin y gelynion A'i rhif fel gwlith y wawr; Ond nerthoedd dwyfol Iesu Sy'n ddigon ar ein rhan, A thrwy y Groes gorchfygu Yn llwyr wnawn yn y man. Mae eglwys Dduw yn symud Fel byddin ar ei thaith; Ei Brenin yw ei bywyd Drwy'r oll anialwch maith; Un ydyw'r dyrfa addas, Un Arglwydd iddi sydd, Un cariad drwy'r gymdeithas, Un gobaith, ac un ffydd.efel. Hugh Cernyw Williams (Cernyw) 1843-1937

The brilliant crowns of the earth - The thrones of great esteem - They shall disappear, O how quickly! Like the white foam of the floodtide; But the crown of the soldiers of Jesus, And the throne of the children of heaven, Shall stand, though the sun darken, And shake from the strong earth! O let us go forward bravely, After the happy host They went before victorious Through the portals of the city above; The sound of their sweet anthems is Escaping across the wave; Let us go, go through obstacles Amongst the cheerful throng. Onward, ye faithful soldiers, God is calling now, The army of the enemy goes With its number like the dew of dawn; But the divine strengths of Jesus Are sufficient on our part, And through the Cross overcome Completely shall we soon. The church of God is moving Like an army on its march; Her King is her life Through the whole vast desert; One is the worthy throng, One Lord she has, One love through the fellowship, One hope, and one faith.tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion |
Crowns and thrones may perish, Kingdoms rise and wane, But the Church of Jesus Constant will remain. Gates of hell can never 'Gainst that church prevail; We have Christ's own promise, And that cannot fail. Onward then, ye people, Join our happy throng, Blend with ours your voices In the triumph song. Glory, laud and honour Unto Christ the King, This through countless ages Men and angels sing. Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus Going on before. Christ, the royal Master, Leads against the foe; Forward into battle See His banners go! Like a mighty army Moves the Church of God; Brothers, we are treading Where the saints have trod. We are not divided, All one body we, One in hope, in doctrine, One in charity.1865 Sabine Baring-Gould 1834-1924
