O tyrd, O tyrd, Emanwël!
A datod rwymau Isräel,
Sy'n wylo'n brudd mewn estron wlad
Mewn blin gaethiwed a sarhad.
O cân! O cân! Emanwël
Ddaw atat ti, O Isräel.
O tyrd, Flaguryn Iese'n awr,
A dryllia allu'r gelyn mawr;
I'th weision dyro nefol hedd,
A buddugoliaeth ar y bedd.
O Wawrddydd, tyred, llawenha
Galonnau trist â'th ddoniau da:
O gwasgar dew gymylau'r hwyr,
Gyr ymaith ofnau angau'n llwyr.
O Allwedd Dafydd, tyred di,
Ac agor borth y nef i ni:
Arloesa'r ffordd i wlad yr hedd,
A chae holl lwybrau oer y bedd.
O tyred, gadarn Iôr, mewn nerth,
Dydi, Breswylydd mawr y berth,
A roddes gynt y gyfraith lân
Ar Sinai mewn cymylau tân.
cyf. D Ambrose Jones 1866-1951
Tôn [88.88.88]: Veni Emmanuel |
O come, O come, Emmanuel!
And undo the bonds of Israel,
Who is weeping sadly in a strange land
In grievous captivity and insult.
O sing! O sing! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, Shoot of Jesse, now,
And smash the power of the great enemy;
To thy servants grant heavenly peace,
And victory over the grave.
O Dawn of day, come, cheer
Sad hearts with thy good gifts:
And scatter the thick clouds of the night,
Drive away fears of death completely.
O Key of David, come thou,
And open the gate of heaven to us:
Pioneer the way to the land of peace,
And close all the cold paths of the grave.
O come, steadfast Lord, in strength,
Thou, the great resident of the bush,
Who gavest of old the holy law
On Sinai in clouds of fire.
tr. 2023 Richard B Gillion

O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny;
From depths of hell Thy people save,
And give them victory over the grave.
O come, Thou Day-spring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here;
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
And death's dark shadows put to flight.
O come, Thou Key of David, come,
And open wide our heavenly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery.
O come, O come, great Lord of might,
Who to Thy tribes on Sinai's height
In ancient times once gave the law
In cloud and majesty and awe.
