Cenhadon hedd cānt ddwyn ar frys
Efengyl gras ein Duw,
I bob rhyw fan
yn mhellder byd
Lle triga dynolryw.
Mynegant am y cymmod gwiw,
A ddaeth trwy bwrcas drud;
A'r ffynnon hyfryd sy'n glanhau
Aflendid mwya'r byd.
Fe lonna'r gwyllt Farbariad gwael,
Fe lama'r Ethiop du,
Wrth glywed am anfeidrol Iawn
A gaed ar Galfari.
Ein rhoddion mān a rown yn rhwydd,
A'n gweddi dlawd i'r nef,
I gael paganiaid tywyll, pell,
Yn dorf i'w deyrnas ef.
Daw myrdd myrddiynau rif y dail -
O lwythau'r anial dir,
I moliannu Adda'r ail
Ar swn yr udgorn clir.
Tunes [MC 8686]: |
Emissaries of peace get to bear hurriedly
The gospel of the grace of our God,
To every kind of place
in the extremity of the world
Where humankind dwells.
They communicate about the worthy covenant
Which came through a costly purpose;
And the delightful fount which is cleansing
The greatest uncleanness of the world.
It will cheer the wild, base Barbarians,
The black Ethiopian will leap,
On hearing about an immeasurable Satisfaction
Which was got on Calvary.
Our small gifts we give freely,
And our poor prayer to heaven,
To get dark, distant pagans,
As a crowd to his kingdom.
A myriad myriads numerous as foliage will come -
From the tribes of the desert land,
To praise the second Adam
At the sound of the clear trumpet.
tr. 2015 Richard B Gillion |
