Troseddodd Adda pen pob dyn,
Teyrnasodd angau ar bob un:
Deddf sydd heb obaith, lle ni fedd
I edifeirwch, nac i hedd.
Y gras, yr hedd, a'r purdeb oll,
Ro'ed im' yn Eden, aeth ar goll;
Ni allaf ddirnad tra f'wyf byw,
Y pellder syrthiais oddiwrth Dduw.
O ras didrai! trueni dyn
Mab Duw gymerodd arno'i hun;
Ar ffrwyst o eitha'r nen y daeth,
A marw o'i gariad trosom wnaeth.
Os daw y gyfraith yn ei grym,
A gofyn am berffeithrwydd im',
'Does geny' ond
dangos angeu loes,
A gwaed yn llifo ar y groes.
efel. William Williams 1717-91

Adam, the head of every man, transgressed,
Death reigned over every one:
The law is without hope, it has no place
For repentance, nor for peace.
The grace, the peace, and all the purity,
Given to me in Eden, was lost;
I cannot grasp while ever I am living,
The distance I fell away from God.
O unebbing grace! the wretchedness of man
The Son of God took upon himself;
Swiftly from the ends of heaven he came,
And die for love of us he did.
If the law comes in its force,
And ask for perfection from me,
I have nothing to show
but the throes of death,
And blood flowing on the cross.
tr. 2020 Richard B Gillion

Adam our Father and our head,
Transgressed, and justice doomed us dead;
The fiery law speaks all despair:
There's no reprieve nor pardon there.
But, O unutterable grace!
The Son of God takes Adam's place;
Down to our world the Saviour flies,
Stretches His arms, and bleeds, and dies.
Justice was pleased to bruise the God,
And pay its wrongs with heav'nly blood:
What unknown racks
and pangs He bore!
Then rose; the law could ask no more.
Isaac Watts 1674-1748
