Dacw uffern yn ei harfau,
Dyma bechod yn ei rym,
Dyma f'ofnau innau'n bygwth
Na allaf eu concwerio ddim:
Gallu'r nefoedd,
Tyr'd i waered, dyma'r awr.
Dadrys rwydau sydd heb rifo
Wedi eu taenu draw o 'mlaen;
Llosg bob gefyn sy'n fy rhwymo,
A dy ddwyfol nefol dān;
Gwna i garcharor
Heddyw gael ei draed yn rhydd.
Dysg y galon drist i chwerthin,
Dysg i'r mudan seinio cān,
Dysg yr ofnus gwan i gludo
Uffern fawr i lawr o'i flaen:
Dod wylofain
Yn ganiadau Calfari.
O! na roi'r winwydden hyfryd
Beth o'i ffrwythau i lawenhau
Enaid flinodd gan och'neidio,
Enaid flinodd gan dristau:
Deued bellach -
Deued blodau, deued haf.
Llais y durtur
doed i loni
'Rhai na chadd ond gaua' 'rioed -
Mi, yr hwn ag sydd yn methu
Cael fy meiau dan fy nhroed:
Attal, Arglwydd,
Angeu nes cael gweled dydd.
Pe cawn gredu i ti farw,
A dioddef, yn fy lle,
Ac i ti bwrcasu trigfan
I fy enaid yn y ne',
Byth ni phwyswn
Faint fy ngofid,
faint fy ngwae.

Tonau [878747]:
gwelir: |
Yonder is hell armed,
Here is sin in its force,
There my own fears threatening
That I cannot conquer anything at all:
Power of heaven,
Come right down, this is the hour.
Undo the nets that are without number
Spread yonder before me;
Burn every shackle that is binding me,
With thy divine, heavenly fire;
Make every prisoner
Today get his feet free.
Teach the sad heart to laugh,
Teach the mute to sound a song,
Teach the weak, fearful one to put
Great hell down before him:
May wailing become
The songs of Calvary.
O that thou wouldst give from the lovely vine
Some of its fruits to cheer
A soul wearied by groaning,
A soul wearied by sorrows:
Henceforth may there come -
Let flowers come, let summer come.
May the voice of the turtle-dove
come to cheer
Those who have only ever had winter -
I, who am only failing
To get my faults under my foot:
Prevent, Lord,
Death until I get to see day.
If I got to believe that thou didst die,
And suffer, in my place,
Ac that thou purposed a dwell-place
For my soul in heaven,
Never would I weigh
The extent of my grief,
the extent of my woe.
