Mae Cyfaill i blant bychain
Uwch awyr lās ein Duw;
Un na fydd byth yn newid
A'i serch, diddarfod yw;
Bydd ein cyfeillion yma
Yn newid fel y rhod;
Ond hwn sydd Cyfaill teilwng
O'r enw goreu'n bod.
Mae gorphwys i blant bychain
Uwch awyr lās ein Duw,
I'r rhai sy'n caru'r Iesu
Ac iddo Ef yn byw;
Gorphwysdra ymhob tywydd,
Ymwared o bob clwy',
A phob pererin bychan
Yn esmwyth arno mwy.
Mae cartref i blant bychain
Uwch awyr las ein Duw,
Mae'r Iesu yno'n Frenin -
Y cartref gwychaf yw;
Nid oes un tebyg iddo
Mhlith holl gartrefi'r byd,
Can's pawb o'r teulu dedwydd
Yn ddedwydd fydd o hyd.
Mae coron i blant bychain
Uwch awyr las ein Duw,
I'r rhai sy'n caru'r Iesu
Tragwyddol goron yw;
O goron ogoneddus!
Ei dirion law a'i rhydd
I bawb sydd yn Ei geisio,
I bawb yn ffyddlon sydd.
Mae canu i blant bychain
Uwch awyr las ein Duw,
Cān na wneir blino'i chanu,
Mor fythol felus yw:
Cān yw i'r Oen a laddwyd,
Cān plant
Ei aberth drud;
Am hynny try'r angylion
Wrth geisio'i chanu'n fud.
Mae gwenwisg i blant bychain
Uwch awyr las ein Duw,
A thelyn aur felusaidd,
A phalmwydd hyfryd liw:
Mae'r oll ynghadw heddyw
Gan Iesu yn y nef:
O blant! eich eiddo gyddant
Os glynwch wrtho Ef.

There is a Friend for little children
Above our God's blue sky;
One who will never be changing
And his affection, enduring it is;
Our friends here will be
Changing like the sky;
But he is a worthy Friend
Of the best name there is.
There is a rest for little children
Above our God's blue sky,
For those who are loving Jesus
And living for Him;
A rest in all weather,
Deliverance from every illness,
And every little pilgrim
Ease upon him evermore.
There is a home for little children
Above our God's blue sky,
Jesus is there as King -
The most brilliant home there is;
There is nothing like it
Amongst all the homes of the world,
Since all of the happy family
Shall be happy always.
There is a crown for little children
Above our God's blue sky,
For those who are loving Jesus
An eternal crown it is;
O glorious crown!
His tender hand shall give it
To everyone who seeks Him,
To everyone who is faithful.
There is a song for little children
Above our God's blue sky,
A song no-one is made tired of singing,
So eternally sweet it is:
A song it is to the Lamb who was slain,
A song of the children
of His costly sacrifice;
Because of which the angels turn,
On trying to sing it, mute.
There is white clothing for little children
Above our God's blue sky,
And a sweet, golden harp,
And palms of a delightful colour:
They are all kept today
By Jesus in heaven:
O children, your possession they shall be!
If ye stick to Him.
tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion

There's a friend for little children
Above the bright blue sky,
A friend who never changes,
Whose love will never die;
Our earthly friends may fail us,
And change with changing years,
This friend is always worthy
Of that dear name He bears.
There's a rest for little children
Above the bright blue sky,
Who love the blessčd Saviour,
And to the Father cry
A rest from every turmoil,
From sin and sorrow free,
Where every little pilgrim
Shall rest eternally.
There's a home for little children
Above the bright blue sky,
Where Jesus reigns in glory,
A home of peace and joy
No home on earth is like it,
Nor can with it compare;
For everyone is happy
Nor could be happier there.
There's a crown for little children
Above the bright blue sky,
And all who look for Jesus
Shall wear it by and by;
A crown of brightest glory,
Which He will then bestow
On those who found his favour
And loved His name below.
There's a song for little children
Above the bright blue sky,
A song that will not weary,
Though sung continually;
A song which even angels
Can never,
never sing
They know not Christ as Saviour,
But worship Him as king.
There's a robe for little children
Above the bright blue sky,
And a harp of sweetest music,
And palms of victory.
All, all above is treasured,
And found in Christ alone:
O come, dear little children
That all may be your own.
Albert Midlane 1825-1909Good News for the Little Ones, December 1859.
