Yr wybren lydan, lân, uwchben,
Yngyd â thyner
lesni'r ne,
Y bydoedd fry, yn wych eu gwawr,
A ddatgan glod
eu Crëwr mawr;
Yr haul ar hynt o ddydd i ddydd
Am allu Duw yn sôn y sydd,
Cyhoeddant trwy'r
holl wledydd draw
Weithredoedd hollalluog law.
Pan fyddo'r hwyr yn llwydo'r nen,
Fe welir gwedd y lleuad wen;
Bob nos mae'n sôn
yng nghlyw y llawr
Am hanes gwaith y Crëwr mawr;
O'i chylch y mae y sêr di-ri',
Ac ar eu tro'r planedau fry;
Cyhoeddant oll heb ball ynghyd
Ei glodydd ef hyd eitha'r byd.
Er teithio o'r
holl fydoedd fry
Yn ddistaw gylch ein daear ni,
Ac er nad oes na
llais na llef
Ymhlith holl lu planedau'r nef,
Fe dystiant hwy i ddeall dyn,
A gorfoleddant yn gytûn,
Gan ganu byth yn ddisglair gôr:
Y llaw a'n gwnaeth
yn llaw yr Iôr.
cyf. David Lewis (Ap Ceredigion) 1870-1948
Tonau [MHD 8888D]: |
The broad, clean sky, overhead,
Together with the tender
blueness of heaven,
The worlds above, brilliant their dawn,
Declare the praise of
their great Creator;
The sun on a course from day to day
About God's power are mentioning,
They publish throughout
all the lands yonder
The deeds of an almighty hand.
When the evening makes the sky grey,
The countenance of the white moon is seen;
Every night it makes mention
in earth's hearing
Of the story of the great Creator;
Around there are the innumerable stars,
And in their turn the planets above;
They all publish without fail together
His praises to the ends of the world.
Although travelling from
all the worlds above
Silently around our earth,
And although there is
neither voice nor cry
Amongst all the host of heaven's planets,
They testify to the understanding of man,
And they are jubilant in agreement,
While singing forever as a shining choir:
"The hand that made us is
the hand of the Lord."
tr. 2019 Richard B Gillion

The spacious firmament on high,
With all the blue
ethereal sky,
And spangled heavens, a shining frame
Their great Original
proclaim.
Th'unwearied sun, from day to day,
Does his creator's powers display,
And publishes to
every land
The work of an almighty hand.
Soon as the evening shades prevail
The moon takes up the wondrous tale,
And nightly to the
listening earth
Repeats the story of her birth;
While all the stars that round her burn
And all the planets in their turn,
Confirm the tidings as they roll,
And spread the truth from pole to pole.
What though in solemn
silence all
Move round the dark terrestrial ball?
What though no real
voice nor sound
Amid the radiant orbs be found?
In reason's ear they all rejoice,
And utter forth a glorious voice,
Forever singing as they shine,
The hand that made
us is divine.
1712 Joseph Addison 1672-1719
