Gorffennwyd oedd y gair a roes

"Gorffennwyd" oedd y gair a roes
Wrth orffen talu ar y groes;
  Gorffennwyd gwaith ar Galfari
  Sydd ddigon am ein bywyd ni.

Robert Williams (Robert ap Gwilym Ddu) 1766-1850
[Mesur: MH 8888]

"It is finished" was the word he gave
On finishing paying on the cross;
  Finished was the work on Calvary
  Which is sufficient for our life.

tr. 2015 Richard B Gillion
