Dechreuwch, weision Duw,
Y gân ddiddarfod, bêr;
Datgenwch enw mawr a gwaith
A gras anhraethol Nêr.
Am ei ffyddlondeb mawr
Dyrchefwch glod i'r nen:
Yr hwn a roes addewid lawn
Yw'r hwn a'i dwg i ben.
Cyhoeddwch byth ar led
Yr iechydwriaeth rad,
Yr hon a'i haddewidion oll
A seliwyd in' â gwa'd;
Argraffwyd geiriau hon
Fel ar dragwyddol graig,
Arosant fyth mewn dwyfol rym,
Er llid y gyfrwys ddraig.
Mae gair ei ras mor gryf
Â'r gair a wnaeth y nef;
Y llais sy'n treiglo'r
sêr di-rif
Roes yr addewid gref.
Ar yr addewid hon
Anturia, f'enaid drud;
Hi ddwg i'th ran
drysorau'r groes
Mil mwy eu gwerth
na'r byd.

Tonau [MBD 6686D]: gwelir: Fy enaid deffro a'm tafod cân |
Begin, servants of God,
The endless, sweet song;
Declare the great name and work
And inexpressible grace of the Lord.
For his great faithfulness
Raise praise to the sky:
He who gave a full promise
Is the one who will bring it to pass.
Publish ye abroad
The free salvation,
That which is with all its promises
Sealed for us with blood.
Engraved were these words
As on an eternal rock,
They will remain forever in divine force,
Despite the wrath of the crafty dragon.
The word of his grace is as strong
As the word which made the heaven;
The voice which trundles
the innumerable stars
Gave the strong promise.
On this promise
Venture, my dear soul;
This it is will lead to thy portion
of the treasures of the cross
Worth a thousand times
more than the world.
tr. 2009,16 Richard B Gillion

Begin, my tongue, some heavenly theme
And speak some boundless thing;
The mighty works, or mightier Name
Of our eternal King.
Tell of His wonderful faithfulness
And sound His power abroad;
Sing the sweet promise of His grace,
And the performing God.
Proclaim "salvation from the Lord
For wretched, dying men";
His hand has writ the sacred Word
With an immortal pen.
Engraved as in eternal brass
The mighty promise shines;
Nor can the powers of darkness rase
Those everlasting lines.
His every word of grace is strong
As that which built the skies;
The voice that rolls
the stars along
Speaks all the promises.
How would my leaping heart rejoice,
And think my heav'n secure!
I trust
the all creating voice,
And faith
desires no more.
1707 Isaac Watts 1674-1748
