Doethion, wrth oleuni seren, Chwilient am yr Heulwen wiw; Hardd anghegion iddo ddygent, Ac addefent ef yn Dduw. Oen y nefoedd, mewn modd ufudd, Cymerth fedydd yn y lli; Nid am ddrwg a wnaeth ei hunan Ond er puro'n hanian ni. Mawl it, Iesu, a ddangosodd I'r cenhedloedd pell dy wedd; Mawl i'r Tad, a'r Sanctaidd Ysbryd, Drwy holl oesoedd bywyd hedd.cyf. John Williams (Ab Ithel) 1811-62 Tôn [8787]: Stuttgart (Harmonia Sacra 1715) gwelir: Herod greulon pam yr ofni? |
Wise men, by the light of a star, Search for the worthy, bright Sun; Beautiful gifts for him they bring, And they confess him as God. The Lamb of heaven, in an obedient way, Underwent baptism in the flow; Not for evil he himself did But in order to purify our nature. Praise to thee, Jesus, who showed To the distant nations thy face; Praise to the Father, and the Holy Spirit, Throughout all the ages of the life of peace.tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion |
Lo, sages from the East are gone To where the star hath newly shone: Led on by light to Light they press, And by their gifts their God confess. The Lamb of God is manifest Again in Jordan’s water blest, And He who sin had never known By washing hath our sins undone. Then glory, Lord, to Thee we pay For thine Epiphany today; All glory through eternity To Father, Son, and Spirit be.from the Latin Crudelis Herodes Deum Caelius Sedulius C5th |
