Brenin Seion gâdd ei gladdu

(Bedydd Crist)
Brenin Seion gâdd ei gladdu,
  Draw yn yr Iorddonen gref;
Ar ei Fedydd arwyddluniol
  Syllai'n siriol engyl nef;
    Gwelsant ynddo
  Ddarlun o'i ddyoddefaint Ef.

Uwch y dòn, gwel Ef yn codi, -
  Awdwr hedd, a chadarn Dduw,
Anrhydeddodd Ef y Bedydd;
  Ein dyledswydd ninau yw
    Byw yn ufudd
  I orch'mynion Iesu gwiw.

(The Baptism of Christ)
The King of Zion got buried,
  Yonder in the strong Jordan;
On his iconic Baptism
  The cheerful angels of heaven would stare;
    They saw in it
  A picture of His suffering.

Above the wave, see Him rising, -
  The Author of peace, and mighty God,
He honoured the Baptism;
  Our duty also it is
    To live obedient
  To the commandment of worthy Jesus.
tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion
