O Drefaldwyn dir aeth tirion - engyl;
Bu angau yn Arfon;
A marw mawr fu yn Meirion;
Marw mwy ydoedd marw Môn.
Gwas Iesu dan gŵys isel - ELIAS,
Wiw lywydd fu'n uchel;
Ah! ddawn mawr, O! ddyn â mêl,
Daeargell yw'th fwth dirgel.
Asiedydd (Richard Jones) Am y Parch. John Elias, Môn. 1774 - 8-Meh-1841 (oedran 67) |
From the land of Montgomery went one pleasant - an angel;
There was death in Arfon;
And a great death was in Meirion;
A greater death was the death of Môn.
A servant of Jesus under a lowly sod - ELIAS,
A worthy leader who was exalted;
Ah, great talent! O man with honey!
An earth cell is thy secret booth.
