Ar gopa Calfaria gorchfygwyd

(Concwest Calfaria)
Ar gopa Calfaria gorchfygwyd
  Elynion oedd greulon a llym,
A'r cadarn Orchfygwr sy'n ymdaith
  O Edom yn amlder ei rym;
Mae'n dyfod i fynu o Bosra,
  A'i wisg a lychwynwyd â gwaed,
Blant Seion dyrchefwch eich penau,
  Y goncwest dragwyddol a gaed.
David Griffith (Clwydfardd) 1800-94

[Mesur: 9898D]

(Calvary's Conquest)
On the summit of Calvary, enemies
  Who were cruel and keen were overcome,
And the strong overcomer is processing
  From Edom with multiplied force;
He is coming up from Bosra,
  With his clothing sullied with blood,
Ye children of Zion raise your heads,
  The eternal conquest has been got.
tr. 2024 Richard B Gillion
