Daeth Iesu Grist o'r nefol dir
 llond ei galon fwyn
O gariad at drigolion llawr,
A marw er eu mwyn.
'Rôl gorffen ar ei boenus waith,
Esgynnodd fry mewn hedd,
Gan lwyr fendithio'r plant
oedd drist.
A bywyd yn ei wedd.
Coleddu a bendithio'r saint
Yw ei hyfrytaf waith;
Ni threulia ' stôr
y fendith fawr
I dragwyddoldeb maith.
Joseph Harris (Gomer) 1773-1825
Tonau [MC 8686]: |
Jesus Christ came from the heavenly land
With his tender heart full
Of love for the inhabitants below,
And died for their sakes.
After finishing his painful work,
He ascended up in peace,
While completely blessing the children
who were sad,
With life in his countenance.
Nurturing and blessing the saints
Is his most delightful work;
He will not use up his great
store of blessing
For a long eternity.
