Esgynnodd Crist i ganol nef,
Eisteddodd ar Ei orsedd gref,
Gorphennodd Ei ddaearol daith -
Cyfiawnder wênodd ar Ei waith.
Ei aberth mawr, digonol yw
Dros holl bechodau dynol ryw;
Un offrwm ddug dragwyddol fraint -
Perffeithiodd Ei anwylaf saint.
Eisteddodd ar ddeheulaw Duw
I ddisgwyl am Ei deyrnas wiw -
Am Eglwys lân drwy
rîn Ei waed,
A'i holl elynion wrth Ei draed.
O! Dduw, rho inni yn yr ŵyl,
Ddyrchafu Crist â sanctaidd hwyl;
A'n bywyd fo,
fel mawl y nef,
Yn fywyd o'i ddyrchafu Ef.
T Dennis Jones -1904
Tonau [MH 8888]: |
Christ ascended to the centre of heaven,
He sat on His strong throne,
He finished His earthly journey -
Righteousness smiled upon His work.
His great sacrifice, sufficient is
For all the sins of human kind;
One offering brings an eternal privilege -
He perfected His most beloved saints.
He sat at the right hand of God
To wait for His worthy kingdom -
For a holy Church through
the virtue of his blood,
And all his enemies at His feet.
O God, grant us in the festival,
To exalt Christ with a holy mood;
And our life be,
like the praise of heaven,
A life of exalting Him.
tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion
