Daeth Iesu Grist o'i gariad rad

(Coroniad)
Daeth Iesu Grist o'i gariad rad,
  O entrych nefoedd wen,
I aflan fyd o sanctaidd wlad,
  Rho'wn goron ar ei ben.

Wrth roi ei hun yn aberth drud,
  Dan felldith ar y pren;
Caed trefn i faddeu
    beiau byd,
  Rho'wn goron ar ei ben.

Aed enwau gwael
    y llawr ynghyd,
  O dan dragwyddo len;
A dweded holl
    drigolion byd;
  Rho'wn goron ar ei ben.
Edward Jones (Iorwerth Ddu) 1852-1931

Tôn [MC 8686]:
Diadem (J Ellor 1819-99)

(Coronation)
Jesus Christ came of his free love,
  From the vault of blessed heaven,
To an unclean world from a holy land,
  Let us put a crown on his head.

By giving himself as a costly sacrifice,
  Under a curse on the tree;
An arrangement is got to forgive
    the world's fault,
  Let us put a crown on his head.

Let the base names of the
    earth altogether go
  Under an eternal curtain;
And let all the inhabitants
    of the earth say,
  Let us put a crown on his head.
tr. 2015 Richard B Gillion
