Er gwaethu o'r Babell hon,
'Chael rhwystrau o bob rhyw,
I'r Ganaan hyfryd
af trwy'r don
Ar air fy Nuw:
Mi a trwy'r dyfnder du
'N ddiogel yn ei gôl:
A thwy'r aniawch creulon cry
Dilynaf d'ol.
Mi wela'r hyfryd wlad,
Sydd lawn o hedd o hyd;
Gwlad sanctaidd gyflawn o ryddhâd
Gorphwysfa glûd:
Mae yno wîn a llaeth,
Pob ffrwythau'n helaeth iawn,
A phrennau'r hyfryd faeth,
O fry na bawn!
Yno mae f'Arglwydd Dduw,
Fy nghysur byth yw ef,
Gorchfygodd oll i mi gael byw,
Tywysog hedd:
Ar Sion sanctaidd fry,
Y Brenhin Iesu mae,
Yn ogoneddus gyd a'r llu
Ternasu mae.
Ger bron y Tri yn Un
Maent oll mewn hyfryd hedd,
Yn datgan cariad Mab y Dyn
Tu yma i'r bedd:
A'r holl greadigaeth faith,
A'i chylchoedd oll o'r bron,
Cyd seiniant glôd di-derfyn maith,
I enw'r Oen.

Despite this tent getting worse,
And having obstacles of every kind,
To the delightful Canaan
I go through the wave
At my God's word:
I go through the black depth
Safely in his bosom:
And through the strong cruel desert
I follow after thee.
I see the delightful land,
That is always full of peace;
A sacred land full of the freedom
Of a secure resting place:
There is wine and milk there,
All fruits very abundantly,
And the delightfully nourishing trees,
O that I were above!
There is my Lord God,
My comfort forever is he,
He overcame all for me to get to live,
The Prince of peace:
Over sacred Zion above,
Jesus is the King,
Gloriously with the host
Reigning he is.
Before the Three in One
They are all in delightful peace,
Declaring the love of the Son of Man
On this side of the grave:
And all the vast creation,
And its circles all completely,
They sound together vast unending praise,
To the name of the Lamb.
tr. 2020 Richard B Gillion

Though nature's strength decay,
And earth and hell withstand,
To Canaan's bounds
I urge my way,
At His command.
The watery deep I pass,
With Jesus in my view;
And through the howling wilderness
My way pursue.
The goodly land I see,
With peace and plenty blessed;
A land of sacred liberty,
And endless rest.
There milk and honey flow,
And oil and wine abound,
And trees of life forever grow
With mercy crowned.
There dwells the Lord our king,
The Lord our righteousness,
Triumphant o'er the world and sin
The Prince of peace;
On Sion's sacred height
His kingdom still maintains,
And glorious with His saints in light
Forever reigns.
Before the great Three-One
They all exulting stand;
And tell the wonders He hath done,
Through all their land:
The listening spheres attend,
And swell the growing fame;
And sing, in songs which never end,
The wondrous name.
Thomas Olivers 1725-99
