Fe ddaethom trwy'r Môr Coch mewn hedd, Awn bellach bawb i'r nefol wledd, Yn dyrfa hardd mewn llaeswisg wen, A chanwn fawl i Grist ein Pen. Ei gnawd yw'r bwyd a rydd efe Yn lluniaeth llawn mewn anial le; A'r gwaed a ffrydiodd gynt yn lli A dyr yn llwyr ein syched ni. Efe yw'n Pasg, efe yw'r Oen, Yr Aberth drud fu'n goddef poen; Efe, drwy rin ei werthfawr gur, I'r didwyll rai yw'r Bara pur. Y rhyfel sydd yn eiddo Crist, O dan ei draed mae uffern drist; Mae pob rhyw allu ganddo ef, Mae'r ffordd yn rhydd i deyrnas nef. Er mwyn cael cysur gwiw i'n bron, Bawb ar y ŵyl aruchel hon, Crist, dwg o angau pechod cas Holl ailanedig blant dy ras. Gogoniant byth a fo i'r Tad, A boed gogoniant i'r Mab rhad A gododd o ddyfnderau'r bedd; Gogoniant byth i Ysbryd hedd.cyf. John Williams (Ab Ithel) 1811-62

We came through the Red Sea in peace, Let us all go further to the heavenly feast, As a beautiful throng in white robes, And let us sing praise to Christ our Head. His flesh is the food that he gave As full nourishment in a desert place; And the blood that flowed once as a flood Shall break completely our thirst. He is our Passover, he is the Lamb, The costly Sacrifice who suffered pain; He, through the merit of his precious wound, To the sincere ones is the pure Bread. The battle belongs to Christ, Under his feet is sad hell; He has every kind of power, The way is free to the kingdom of heaven. In order to get worthy comfort for our breast, Everyone at this high feast, Christ, bring from the death of hated sin All the reborn children of thy grace. Glory forever be to the Father, And glory be to the gracious Son Who arose from the depths of the grave; Glory forever to the Spirit of peace.tr. 2019 Richard B Gillion |
The Lamb's high banquet we await In snow white robes of royal state; And now, the Red Sea's channel past, To Christ, our Prince, we sing at last. Upon the altar of the cross His body hath redeemed our loss; And tasting of His roseate blood Our life is hid with Him in God. Now Christ our Paschal Lamb is slain; The Lamb of God that knows no stain; The true oblation offered here, Our own unleavened bread sincere. O Thou from whom hell's monarch flies, O great, O very sacrifice, Thy captive people are set free, And endless life restored in Thee. For Christ, arising from the dead, From conquered hell victorious sped; He thrusts the tyrant down to chains, And Paradise for man regains. To thee who, dead, again dost live, All glory, Lord, thy people give, All glory to the Father be And spirit blest, eternally.tr. John M Neale 1818-66 from the Latin: Ad coenam Agni provide(7th Century) revised 1652: Ad regias Agni dapes
