Mae yr Iesu'n gwahodd holl drigolion y wlad

(Ymdrech i gynyddu yr Ysgol)
Mae yr Iesu'n gwahodd holl
    drigolion y wlad,
I'r Ysgol Sabbothol
    i'w dysgu yn rhad.

      Mi ymdrechaf ddwyn un,
      Mi ymdrechaf ddwyn dau,
  Yr oll allaf wneyd
      Mi a'i gwnaf yn ddiau.

Mae'n drueni bod neb
    mor ddiofal yn byw,
Na dd'ont ar y Sabboth
    i ddarllen gair Duw.

Tôn: (William Batchelder Bradbury 1816-68)

(Effort to increase the School)
Jesus is inviting all
    the inhabitants of the country,
To the Sabbath School
    to be taught freely.

      I will endeavour to bring one,
      I will endeavour to bring two,
  All I can do
      I will do without doubt.

It is a pity that there is anyone
    so careless living,
That they do not come on the Sabbath
    to read the word of God.
tr. 2020 Richard B Gillion
