Cariad Iesu Grist

Cariad Iesu Grist,
  Cariad Duw yw ef
Cariad mwya'r byd,
  Cariad mwya'r nef.

Gobaith plant pob oes,
  Gobaith dynol-ryw,
Gobaith daear a nef
  Ydyw cariad Duw.

Bythol gariad yw
  At y gwael a'r gwan,
Dilyn cariad Duw
  Wnelom ymhob man.

Molwn gariad Duw
  Ar bob cam o'r daith,
Canu iddo ef
  Fydd yn hyfryd waith.
Ben Davies 1864-1937

Tôn [5555]: Haslemere (alaw Almaenaidd)
    (trefn. Caradog Roberts 1878-1935)

The love of Jesus Christ,
  The love of God it is
The greatest love in the world,
  The greatest love in heaven.

The hope of children of every age,
  The hope of human-kind,
The hope of earth and heaven
  Is the love of God.

Everlasting love it is
  Towards the base and the weak,
Follow the love of God
  Let us do everywhere.

Let us praise the love of God
  At every step of the journey,
Singing unto him
  Will be delightful work.
tr. 2009 Richard B Gillion
