Pob gwagedd daearol
aed ymaith yn drist,
Heb demtio fy llygaid
na blino fy nghlust,
Yng nghanol gorsedd-fainc
drag'wyddol yr Iôn
'Rwy'n gwel'd gweledigaeth
o degwch yr O'n.
Gogoniant fe hardd-wisg
am dano sy'n bod,
A'i waedlyd farwolaeth
mae'n ddwyn megis nod;
Saith ydyw ei lygaid,
a saith yw ei gyrn,
I ddweud ei ddoethineb
a'i allu tra chwyrn.
Y llyfr seliedig
ei dderbyn mae ef
O law'r hwn sy'n eistedd
ar orsedd y nef;
A Iesu fy Arglwydd,
ca'dd edrych i hwn,
Ar dywyll amcanion
a phethau na's gwn.
Cymmanfa'r holl seintiau
o'i amgylch ef sy'
Yn cwympo i addoli
ger bron yr Oen cu,
Mewn newydd ganiadau
'fangylaidd eu sain,
Rhoi mawl ac anrhydedd
i'w enw mae rhai'n.
Gorfoledd, a bloeddio,
a chydsain y saint,
Trwy'r bryniau tra'wyddol
ehedig y maent;
Ti'n unig wyt deilwng
(bawb gwaeddant heb Gêl)
I ddarllen y llyfr,
a dattod pob sêl.
Cyd-seiniwn y nefol gân
yna'n gyttun,
A chyd â hyfrydwch,
O canwn bob un;
Gan dd'wedwd, mai teilwng
yw'r Oen ga's ei ladd,
I fod i ni'n Athraw
a Brenin bob gradd.
Ei brophwydoliaethau'n
datguddio i ni sydd
Drag'wyddol gynghorion,
amcanion fu 'nghudd;
Ei râs a'i ddialedd
cyflawnant ryw bryd
Y geiriau lefarodd
o heddwch neu lid.
Fe brynodd ein henaid
rhag uffern a'i phoen,
A'i waed amhrisiadwy,
gogoniant i'r Oen!
A chyndyn drueiniaid
na haeddent gael byw
A wnaed yn gyfeillion
heddychol â Duw.
Byth teilwng yw'r Arglwydd,
addefed pob dyn,
Fu farw am drosedd,
nid eiddo fe'i hun,
I gael gan bob tafod
ei foli'n ddilyth,
Ac eistedd ar orsedd
ei nefol Dad byth.

Let every earthly emptiness
go away sadly,
Without tempting my eyes
nor tiring my ear,
In the centre of the eternal
throne of the Lord
I am seeing a vision
of the fairness of the Lamb.
Glory like beautiful clothing
around him there is,
And his bloody death
he is bearing like a mark;
Seven are his eyes,
and seven are his horns,
To tell his wisdom
and his power so swift.
The sealed book
receiving is he
From the hand of him who is sitting
on the throne of heaven;
And Jesus my Lord,
got to look to that,
On dark purposes
and things I do not know.
The congregation of all the saints
around him is
Falling to worship
before the dear Lamb,
In new songs
of the gospel their sound,
Giving praise and honour
to his name are they.
Jubilation, and shouting,
and the chorus of the saints,
Through the eternal hills
fly they do;
Thou alone art worthy
(all shout without a lie)
To read the book,
and to undo every seal.
Let us sound together the heavenly song
there in agreement,
And together with delight,
O let us sing every one;
Saying, that worthy
is the Lamb who got slain,
To be to us a Teacher
and King of every degree.
His prophecies
revealing to us are
Eternal counsels,
purposes that were hidden;
His grace and his retribution
shall be fulfilled some time
The words he spoke
of peace or anger.
He purchased our soul
from hell and its pain,
With his invaluable blood,
glory to the Lamb!
And stubborn wretches
who do not deserve to get to live
Who were made friends
peaceful with God.
Forever worthy is the Lord,
let every man confess,
Who died for transgression,
not his own,
To get by every tongue
praised unfailingly,
And to sit on the throne
of his heavenly father forever.
tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion

All mortal vanities,
be gone,
Nor tempt my eyes,
nor tire my ears,
Behold amidst
th'eternal throne
A vision
of the Lamb appears.
Glory his fleecy
robe adorns,
Mark'd with
the bloody death he bore;
Seven are his eyes,
and seven his horns,
To speak his wisdom
and his power.
Lo, he receives
a sealed book
From him that sits
upon the throne:
Jesus, my Lord,
prevails to look
On dark decrees,
and things unknown.
All the assembling
saints around
Fall worshipping
before the Lamb,
And in new songs
of gospel-sound
Address their honours
to his name,
The joy, the shout,
the harmony
Flies o'er the
everlasting hills,
"Worthy art thou alone,"
they cry,
"To read the book,
to loose the seals."
Our voices join
the heavenly strain,
And with transporting
pleasure sing,
"Worthy the Lamb
that once was slain,
"To be our teacher
and our king!"
His words
of prophecy reveal
Eternal counsels,
deep designs;
His grace and vengeance
shall fulfil
The peaceful and
the dreadful lines.
Thou hast redeem'd
our souls from hell
With thine
invaluable blood;
And wretches
that did once rebel
Are now made favourites
of their God.
Worthy for ever
is the Lord,
That died for treasons
not his own,
By every tongue
to be ador'd,
And dwell upon
his Father's throne.
