Enw'r Iesu elo'n glodfawr

Enw'r Iesu elo'n glodfawr,
  Yn ynysoedd pella'r byd;
Fel bo i filoedd dd'od i'w garu,
  A phwyso ar ei aberth drud:
    Dodi'r goron,
  Yn drag'wyddol ar ei ben.
Morgan Jones 1768-1835
Diferion y Cyssegr 1807

[Mesur: 878747]

gwelir:
  Arglwydd arddel dy genhadon
  Taned sain efengyl Iesu

May the name of Jesus become extolled,
  In the most distant islands of the world;
That thousands may come to love him,
  And lean of his precious sacrifice:
    Placing the crown,
  Eternally on his head.
tr. 2020 Richard B Gillion
