Messia addawedig yn cael ei eni, Luc i. 46, &c.) A'n henaid, Arglwydd, i'th fawrhawn, Yn Nuw'n Iachawdwr llawenhawn; Wrth ddatgan cerdd y Forwyn lān, Boed i'r un Yspryd hwylio'n cān. Ei gwaeled, gwelodd Brenin Nef, A phethau mawr i hon wnaeth ef; Ei nerth a'i ras ef arni ddaeth, Yn fam i'w anwyl Fab fe'i gwnaeth. Bendigaid galwed pobloedd hi, A byth parhaed ei chlod a'i bri; Ond nag addolwn neb ond Duw, Eiddigus o'i ogoniant yw. I'r rhai sy'n ofni a chredu yn Nuw, Byth sicir ei drugaredd yw; O oes i oes ei 'ddewid sai', A chaiff yn ddiogel ei chwplau. Wrth Abram d'wedodd, Yn dy Had Caiff yr holl ddaear fendith rad; Cof o'r addewid henaidd hon Fu'n hir yn gorwedd dan ei fron. Ni ddisgwyl Israel ddim yn hŵy, Ni edir 'mo'r cenhedloedd mwy: Dymuniant yr holl bobl a ddaeth, Y Forwyn geni'r Had a wnaeth.cyf.

promised Messiah born, Luke 1:46, &c.) With our soul, Lord, we magnify thee, In God our Saviour we rejoice; While declaring the poem of the holy Virgin, May the same Spirit inspire our song. Her lowliness, the King of Heaven saw, And great things for her he did; His strength and his grace upon her came, Mother to his dear Son he made her. Blessed let people call her, And forever may her acclaim and renown endure; But let us not worship anyone but God, Jealous of his glory he is. To those who fear and believe in God, Forever sure his mercy is; From age to age his promise shall stand, And safely it shall be fulfilled. To Abraham he said, In thy Seed Shall all the earth receive a gracious blessing Memory of this ancient promise Was long lying before him. Israel shall wait no longer, The nations are not to be forsaken any more: The desire of all the people has come, The Virgin gave birth to the Seed.tr. 2020 Richard B Gillion |
promised Messiah born, Luke 1. 46 &c.) Our souls shall magnify the Lord, In God the Saviour we rejoice; While we repeat the Virgin's song, May the same spirit tune our voice. The Highest saw her low estate, And mighty things his hand hath done: His overshadowing power and grace Makes her the mother of his Son. Let every nation call her bless'd, And endless years prolong her fame; But God alone must be ador'd; Holy and reverend is his Name. To those that fear and trust the Lord His mercy stands for ever sure: From age to age his promise lives, And the performance is secure. He spake to Abr'am and his seed, "In thee shall all the earth be bless'd;" The memory of that ancient word Lay long in his eternal breast. But now no more shall Israel wait, No more the Gentiles lie forlorn: Lo the desire of nations comes, Behold the promis'd seed is born.Isaac Watts 1674-1748 Hymns and Spiritual Songs 1707 [Metre: LM 8888] |
