Hedd perffaith hedd

Peace perfect peace

Hedd, perffaith hedd,
  mewn byd o bechod du?
Mae gwaed yr Oen
  yn sibrwd hedd i ni.

Hedd, perffaith hedd,
  dan groesau o bob rhyw?
Tangnefedd sydd o hyd
  ar fynwes Duw.






Hedd, perffaith hedd,
  a cheraint hoff ymhell?
Mae gofal Iesu'n
  ddïogelwch gwell.

Hedd, perffaith hedd,
  heb un dyfodol fraw?
Mae'r Iesu'n eistedd
  ar yr orsedd draw.

Hedd, perffaith hedd,
  yn ŵyneb byd a bedd,
Fod Iesu'n galw
  i'w dragwyddol hedd.

[Mae'n ddigon byth,
   yn ŵyneb byd a bedd,
 Fod Iesu'n galw
   i'w dragwyddol hedd.]
a cheraint hoff ymhell :: i mi fu gynt
yn ŵyneb :: yng ngwyneb

Peace, perfect peace,
  in a world of black sin?
The blood of the Lamb is
  whispering peace to us.

Peace, perfect peace,
  under crosses of every kind?
There is still peace
  on God's breast.






Peace, perfect peace,
  and dear kinfolk far away?
The care of Jesus is
  a better security.

Peace, perfect peace,
  without one coming alarm?
Jesus is sitting
  on yonder throne.

Peace, perfect peace,
  in the face of the world and the grave,
That Jesus is calling us
  to his eternal peace.

[It is sufficient forever,
   in the face of the world and the grave,
 That Jesus is calling us
   to his eternal peace.]
and dear kinfolk :: to me who was once
::

tr. 2011 Richard B Gillion

Peace, perfect peace,
  in this dark world of sin?
The blood of Jesus
  whispers peace within.

Peace, perfect peace,
  by thronging duties pressed?
To do the will of Jesus,
   this is rest.

Peace, perfect peace,
  with sorrows surging round?
On Jesus' bosom
  naught but calm is found.

Peace, perfect peace,
  with loved ones far away?
In Jesus' keeping
  we are safe, and they.

Peace, perfect peace,
   our future all unknown?
Jesus we know,
   and He is on the throne.

Peace, perfect peace,
  death shadowing us and ours?
Jesus has vanquished death
  and all its powers.

It is enough:
  earth's struggles soon shall cease,
And Jesus call us
  to Heaven's perfect peace.
