Nef a daear, tir a môr
Sydd yn datgan mawl ein Iôr:
Fynni dithau, f'enaid, fod
Yn y canol heb roi clod?
Gwena'r haul o'r cwmwl du
Er mwyn dangos Duw o'n tu;
Dywed sêr a lleuad dlos
Am ei fawredd yn y nos.
Gwellt y maes a
dail y coed
Sy'n ei ganmol ef erioed;
Popeth hardd o dan y nef,
Dyna waith ei fysedd ef.
Cwyd aderyn bach o'i nyth
Am fod Duw yn dirion byth;
Gwrendy'r corwynt ar ei lef,
Cerdda'r mellt ei lwybrau ef.
Dywed afon yn ei hiaith
Mai efe sy'n trefnu'r daith;
Ac ni chyfyd ton o'r môr
Heb roi mawl i enw'r Iôr.
Rhyfedd wyt, O Dduw, bob awr
Yn egluro d'allu mawr:
Wrth dy draed, O dysg i mi
Beth wyf fi, a phwy wyt ti.
cyf. Howell Elvet Lewis (Elfed) 1860-1953

Heaven and earth, land and sea
Are declaring the praise of our Lord:
Wouldst thou then, my soul, be
In the midst without giving acclaim?
The sun smiles from the black cloud
In order to show God on our side;
The stars and the pretty moon tell
Of his greatness in the night.
The grass of the field and
the leaves of the wood
Are ever extolling him;
Everything beautiful under heaven,
That is the work of his fingers.
The little bird rises from its nest
Since God is tender forever;
The hurricane listens to his voice,
The lightning walks his paths.
The river tells in its language
That 'tis he who orders the journey;
And no wave rises from the sea
Without giving praise to our Lord's name.
Wonderful art thou, O God, every hour
Making evident thy great power:
At thy feet, O teach to me
What am I, and who art thou.
tr. 2024 Richard B Gillion

Heaven and earth, and sea and air, All their maker's praise declare; Wake, my soul, awake and sing: Now thy grateful praises bring. See the glorious orb of day Breaking through the clouds his way; Moon and stars with silvery light Praise him through the silent night. See how he hath everywhere Made this earth so rich and fair; Hill and vale and fruitful land, All things living, show his hand. Lord, great wonders workest thou! To thy sway all creatures bow; Write thou deeply in my heart What I am, and what thou art.tr. Catherine Winkworth 1827-78
from the German Joachim Neander 1650-80
