Cyduned Seion lân
Chwyth arnaf Awel Iôr (J D Vernon Lewis 1879-1970) / Breathe on me Breath of God (Edwin Hatch 1835-89)
Fy enaid deffro di
Gall plentyn weld ar wedd
(Howell Elvet Lewis [Elfed] 1860-1953)
Gras O'r fath beraidd sain
Gwnaeth Iesu berffaith Iawn
Hwn yw y sanctaidd ddydd
/ This is the sacred day
Iesu O mor addfwyn / Saviour what gracious words
Mae rhinwedd yn ei waed
Mi welaf noddfa glyd
(Nis gall('s)ai gwaed yr holl) / Not all the blood of beasts
O Cenwch Fawl i Dduw
Rhowch fawl i'n Harglwydd glân
