Trwy'r byd y bo sôn
Am bwrcas ei boen,
A chaned pob teulu
mai teilwng yw'r Oen.
Rhyfeddod y byd
Yw angau mor ddrud,
A gwreiddyn caniadau'r
ffyddloniaid i gyd.
Mi wela'n ei glwy'
Gyflawnder sy fwy
Na meithder y moroedd,
er lleted ynt hwy.
Af bellach yn hy'
Tua'r Canaan sy fry,
Mi wela'r addewid yn gadarn o'm tu.
William Williams 1717-91
Tonau [5565]: gwelir: Ffarwel y fo'r byd Rwy'n gweled bod dydd Y cysur i gyd |
Throughout the world be there mention
Of the purpose of his pain,
And let every family sing
that worthy is the Lamb.
The wonder of the world
Is death so precious,
And the root of the songs of
all the faithful.
I see in his wound
Fullness that is greater
Than the vastness of the seas,
despite how wide they are.
I shall go henceforth boldly
Towards the Canaan that is above,
I see the promise firmly on my side.
tr. 2023 Richard B Gillion
