Drwy rinwedd dadleuaeth, eiriolaeth yr Iawn, Moliannu Duw'r nefoedd yn gyhoedd a gawn, Am eni'r Iachawdwr, y Prynwr mewn pryd, Yn Geidwad i ddynion, abwydion y byd. O deuwn i'w dŷ a lleisiwn yn llu Mewn cariad gwir frawdol i'w ganmol yn gu. Diolchwn, da yw, am fod yma'n fyw I gofio babandod a dyndod Mab Duw. Cyn gwawriad naturiol wybrennol ryw bryd Llewyrchai gwawr nefol arbedol i'r byd, Sef gwawr Haul Cyfiawnder yn nyfnder y nos I arwain rhai budron i'r Ffynnon o'r ffos. Yr Iesu, o'i ras, ogwyddai i le gwas Pan ddaeth yn dlawd arno i'n ceisio, rai cas. Ni feddai efe un llys yn y lle, Na gwely na cherbyd, Anwylyd y ne'. Clodforwn, clodforwn, Duw folwn hyd fedd, Creawdwr, Cynhaliwr, a Rhoddwr gwir hedd. Ei drigfa 'mysg dynion, rai noethion, a wnaeth A'r dynion i undod y Duwdod a ddaeth; Fe anwyd mewn pryd y Baban i'r byd, Gogoniant y dwthwn a gofiwn i gyd. Er gogan a gwawd mae'n Frenin, mae'n Frawd; Hwn i bechaduriaid yn Geidwad a gawd. Angylion dihalog (wrth ddisgwyl eu tro), Fu'n seinio moliannau hyd fryniau y fro Am eni'r Iachawdwr yn Ddyddiwr i ddyn, Yn noddfa mewn trallod, yn Gyfaill a lŷn; A ninnau yn awr a folwn yn fawr; Cydseinied y nefoedd a lluoedd y llawr: Tra bôm yn y byd, O rhoddwn ein bryd Ar ddilyn yr Iesu, a'i garu i gyd.Ebenezer Thomas (Eben Fardd) 1802-63 [Mesur: 11.11.11.11+5565D] |
Through the merit of argument, the mediation of the Atonement, Let us praise the God of heaven publicly, For the birth of the Saviour, The Redeemer in time, As a Keeper for men, the worms of the world. O let us come to his house and let us voice as a throng In true brotherly love to extol him dearly. Let us thank, good it is, for being here alive To remember the babyhood and humanity of the Son of God. Before a natural celestial dawning on some occasion A heavenly saving dawn shone for the world, That is the Sun of Righteousness in the depth of the night To lead some filthy ones to the Fount from the ditch. Jesus, of his grace, inclined into a servant's place When poverty came upon him To seek us, detestable ones. He did not possess any court in the place, Nor bed, nor chariot, the Beloved of heaven. Let us extol, let us extol, Let us praise God as far as the grave, Creator, Upholder, and the Giver of true peace. His dwelling-place among men, some naked, he made And the men to the unity of the Divinity have come; He was born in time the Baby for the world, The glory of the occasion let us all remember. Despite scorn and ridicule he is a King, he is a Brother; He for sinners a Keeper was received. Spotless angels (while waiting their turn), Were sounding praises as far as the hills of the region For the birth of the Saviour as a reconciler for men, As a refuge in trouble, as a Friend who will stick; And we now let us praise greatly; Let heaven sound together with the hosts of the earth below: While ever we be in the world, O let us render our intent To following Jesus, and loving him altogether.tr. 2023 Richard B Gillion |
