Hedwn pe cawn ar adenydd y wawr

Hedwn pe cawn ar adenydd y wawr,
  Hedwn ymhell, hedwn ymhell,
Lle cawn i nefoedd ddigwmwl bob awr;
  Hedwn ymhell, hedwn ymhell.
Rhydd o bob tristwch gorphwyswn yn llon,
Syllwn ar Iesu,
    a mhen ar Ei fron -
F'enaid ni cheisiaf un nefoedd ond hon!
  Hedwn ymhell, hedwn ymhell.

Enaid! ni raid
    it hedeg ymhell -
  Pell nid yw'r wlad, pell nid yw'r wlad,
Plant Duw yn barod sy'n meddu'r wlad well -
  Pell nid yw'r wlad, pell nid yw'r wlad.
Agos yw'r Iesu, a gwena'n foddhaus;
Gwrendy ein gweddi, adwaena ein llais -
Gwenau ein Ceidwad sy'n nefoedd barhaus:
  Pell nid yw'r wlad, pell nid yw'r wlad.

Cysgod o ŵg ar Ei wyneb nid oes -
  Agos iawn yw nefoedd ein Duw!
Heulwen Ei gariad
    ymlidia bob loes -
  Agos iawn yw nefoedd ein Duw!
Purdeb a chariad - am hyd boed ein llef -
Cariad at Iesu, a byw iddo Ef:
Hyn leinw'r galon
    â mwyniant y nef -
  Agos iawn yw nefoedd ein Duw!

I would fly if I could on the wings of the dawn,
  I would fly far away, I would fly far away,
Where I could get cloudless heavens always;
  I would fly far away, I would fly far away.
Free from all sadness I would rest in gladness,
I would gaze on Jesus,
    with my head on His breast -
My soul would seek no heaven but this!
  I would fly far away, I would fly far away.

Soul, there is no need
    for thee to fly far away -
  The land is not far, the land is not far,
God's children already possess a better land -
  The land is not far, the land is not far.
Jesus is near, and is smiling with satisfaction;
He hears our prayer, he recognizes our voice -
Our Saviour's smiles are a perpetual heaven:
  The land is not far, the land is not far.

No shadow of a frown is there on His face -
  Very near is the heaven of our God!
The sunshine of his love
    chases away every anguish -
  Very near is the heaven of our God!
Purity and love - for these let our cry be -
Love towards Jesus, and living unto Him:
These will fill our heart
    with the enjoyment of heaven -
  Very near is the heaven of our God!
