(Y Defaid Eraill)
Fugail da, mae'r defaid eraill
  Eto ‘mhell o'r gorlan glyd,
Crwydro'n glwyfus ar ddisberod
  Maent yn nrysni'r tywyll fyd:
Danfon allan dy fugeiliaid,
  Â'u calonnau yn y gwaith,
Er mwyn cyrchu'r rhai crwydredig
  O bellterau'r anial maith.

Hiraeth cyrchu'r defaid eraill
  Ynom ninnau elo'n fwy;
Dylanwadau d'Ysbryd gerddo
  Ymhob eglwys drostynt hwy:
Yma, yn ein gwlad ein hunain,
  Gwna ni'n llais dy gariad di,
A sŵn achub myrdd myrddiynau
  Fyddo draw dros donnau'r lli.

Maent i ddod, medd addewidion,
  O bob ardal dan y nen;
Dwedaist tithau, "Rhaid eu cyrchu,"
  Trengaist drostynt ar y pren.
O er mwyn yr einioes roddwyd
  Ac er mwyn yr eiriol drud,
Dwg i mewn y defaid eraill,
  Fugail da, i'th gorlan glyd.

(The Other Sheep)
Good Shepherd, the other sheep are
  Still far from the secure fold,
Wandering wounded scattered
  They are in the dark world's confusion:
Dend out thy shepherds,
  With their hearts in the work,
In order to reach the wandering ones
  From the remoteness of the vast desert.

May the longing to reach the other sheep
  Become greater in us too;
May the influences of thy Spirit walk
  In every church for them:
Here, in our own land,
  Make us the voice of thy love,
And a sound to save a myriad myriads
  Be yonder across the waves of the tide.

They are to come, say promises,
  From every region under the sky;
Thou didst say, "They must be reached,"
  Thou didst die for them on the tree.
O for the sake of the life given
  And of the precious intercession,
Bring in the other sheep,
  Good Shepherd, to thy secure fold.
tr. 2024 Richard B Gillion
