Gall plentyn weld ar wedd

Gall plentyn weld ar wedd
  Blodeuyn bach mewn gardd,
Mai cariad ydyw enw Duw -
  Yr enw mwyaf hardd.

Gall plentyn weld yn glir
  Yn ŵyneb Iesu da,
Mai cariad ydyw enw Duw -
  A'n caru ninnau wna.
Howell Elvet Lewis (Elfed) 1860-1953

Tôn [MB 6686]: St Augustine (P Abelard / J S Bach)

A child can see in the face
  Of a small flower in a garden,
That God's name is love -
  The most beautiful name.

A child can see clearly
  In the face of good Jesus,
That God's name is love -
  And love us he shall.
tr. 2024 Richard B Gillion
The smallest child can see
  By looking at a flower
That God is love - that is his name
  The source of all life's power.

The smallest child can see
  Within the Saviour's face
That God is love - that is his name
  Who gives to all his grace.
tr. 2024 Richard B Gillion
