Awn i'r Ysgol Sul

Pan mae yr haul yn gwenu

(Awn i'r Ysgol Sul)
Pan mae yr haul yn gwenu
A'r adar yn clodfori -
Gadawn ein hoff gartrefi,
  Ac own i'r Ysgol Sul:

    Awn, awn, awn!
  Ni awn i'r Ysgol Sul!
    Awn, awn, awn!
  Ni awn i'r Ysgol Sul!

Cawn ddysgu gwersi buddiol,
A fydd o les ysbrydol,
I'r enaid yn dragwyddol,
  Wrth fyn'd i'r Ysgol Sul.

Tôn: Awn i'r Ysgol Sul (Wm Aubrey Powell)

(Let us go to the Sunday School)
When the sun is smiling
And the birds extolling -
Let us leave our fond homes,
  And let us go to the Sunday School:

    Let us go, go, go!
  We will go to the Sunday School!
    Let us go, go, go!
  We will go to the Sunday School!

We may learn profitable lessons,
Which shall be of spiritual benefit,
To the soul eternally,
  While going to the Sunday School.
tr. 2017 Richard B Gillion
