Milwr ydwyf sydd ofidus

Milwr ydwyf sydd ofidus,
Weithiau'n iach ac weithiau'n glwyfus:
  Pa'm yr ofnaf, doed a ddelo,
  Fry mae mwywyd wedi_ei guddio.

Brawd a anwyd i mi'n fore,
Trosof tynnodd golyn angeu,
  Ac addawodd i mi allu
  Hyd y diwedd etto_i faeddu.

Tra'r wyf yma rhaid rhyfela
A gelynion o'r creulona,
  Ne's myn'd i'r
      breswylfa lonydd,
  Na bydd rhyfel yn dragywydd.

Y rhai lluddiedig orphwys yno,
Ni ddaw gelyn byth i'w blino:
  I'r orphwysfa fry 'rwy'n tynnu,
  Derfydd amser yma_i bechu.

Yno derfydd fy nghystuddiau,
Troir fy ngalar yn ganiadau
  Yn lle Mara a'i dw'r anhyfryd,
  Cāf yfed byth
      o afon bywyd.

Ni ddaw rhagfarn
    nac anghariad
Byth i mewn i dŷ fy Ngheidwad;
  Fry ni welaf ond fy ngharo,
  Gwyn fy myd pe bawn i yno.

gwelir: Os rhaid yfed dyfroedd Mara

A soldier am I who is fearful,
Sometimes whole and sometimes wounded:
  Why shall I fear, come what may,
  Above is my life hidden.

A brother was born for me in the morning,
For me he pulled out the sting of death,
  And he promised me the power
  Unto the end still to beat.

While I am here I must battle
With enemies of the cruellest,
  Until going to the
      cheerful dwelling-place
  Where shall be no war eternally.

The exhausted ones rest there,
No enemy shall ever come to grieve them:
  To the resting-place above I am drawing,
  Time here for me to sin is shall end.

There shall end my afflictions,
My mourning is to be turned into songs,
  Instead of Mara and its unpleasant water,
  I shall get to drink forever
      from the river of life.

No prejudice or
    uncharitability shall ever
Come within the house of my Servant;
  Above I shall see only one who loves me,
  Blessed I would be if I were there.
