Duw Abra(ha)m molwch ef (Yr hollalluog Dduw)

Duw Abraham, molwch ef,
  Yr hollalluog Dduw,
Yr Hen Ddihenydd, Brenin nef,
  Duw, cariad yw.
I'r Iôr, anfeidrol Fod,
  Boed mawl y nef a'r llawr;
Ymgrymu wnaf, a rhof y clod
  I'r enw mawr.

Duw Abraham, molwch ef;
  Ei holl-ddigonol ddawn
A'm cynnal ar fy nhaith i'r nef
  Yn ddiogel iawn;
I eiddil fel myfi
  Fe'i geilw'i hun yn Dduw;
Trwy waed ei Fab ar Galfari
  Fe'm ceidw'n fyw.

Er bod y cnawd yn wan,
  Er gwaethaf grym y byd,
Drwy ras mi ddof i hyfryd fan
  Fy nghartref clyd;
Mi nofia'r dyfnder llaith
  Â'm trem ar Iesu cu;
Af drwy'r anialwch erchyll maith
  I'r Ganaan fry.

Holl dyrfa'r nef a gân
  Mewn diolch yn gytûn
I'r Tad a'r Mab
    a'r Ysbryd Glân –
  Eu mawl sydd un:
O henffych, Iôr di-lyth;
  Clodforaf gyda hwy
Dduw Abraham a'm Duw innau byth
  Heb dewi mwy.

Capel Edwyn (alaw Iddewig)
Leoni (alaw Iddewig, addaswyd c.1770)

The God of Abraham, praise him!
  The almighty God,
The Ancient of Days, the King of heaven,
  God, love he is.
To the Lord, immeasurable Being,
  Let there be praise of heaven and earth;
I will bow, and I will render praise
  To the great name.

The God of Abraham, praise him!
  His all-sufficient ability
Who supports me upon my journey to heaven
  Very safely;
To a weak one like me
  He calls himself God;
Through the blood of his Son on Calvary
  He keeps me alive.

Although the flesh is weak,
  Despite the force of the world,
Through grace I will come to a pleasant place
  My cosy home;
I will swim the depth of death
  With my gaze on dear Jesus;
I will go through the horrible vast desert
  To the Canaan above.

The whole multitude of heaven which sings
  In thanks in agreement
To the Father and the Son
    and the Holy Spirit -
  Their praise is one:
O hail, unfailing Lord;
  I will extol with them
The God of Abraham and my own God forever
  Without holding my peace any more.
::

tr. 2008 Richard B Gillion

The God of Abraham praise,
  Who reigns enthroned above;
Ancient of everlasting days,
  and God of Love;
Jehovah, great I AM!
  by earth and Heav'n confessed;
I bow and bless the sacred Name
  forever blessed.

The God of Abraham praise,
  Whose all sufficient grace
Shall guide me all my happy days,
  in all my ways.
He calls a worm His friend,
  He calls Himself my God!
And He shall save me to the end,
  through Jesus' blood.

Tho' nature's strength decay,
  and earth and hell withstand,
To Canaan's bounds I urge my way,
  at His command.
The wat'ry deep I pass,
  with Jesus in my view;
And through the howling wilderness
  my way pursue.

The whole triumphant host
  give thanks to God on high;
"Hail, Father, Son,
    and Holy Ghost,"
  they ever cry.
Hail, Abraham's God, and mine!
  (I join the heav'nly lays,)
All might and majesty are Thine,
  and endless praise.
