Mor ddedwydd yw y dyrfa fawr, Sydd yn y gwynfyd draw, Mewn gynau gwynion fel y wawr, A'u palmwydd yn eu llaw! O ffrydiau'r afon yfant byth, Bwytânt o ffrwyth y pren: A'u gwynfyd bery yn ddilyth, Tra pery'r nefoedd wen.cyf. Llawlyfr Moliant 1890 Tôn [MC 8686]: St Stephen (William Jones 1726-1800) |
How happy is the great throng, Which is in the bliss yonder, In white robes like the dawn, With their palm-trees in their hand! From the streams of the river they will drink forever, They will eat from the fruits of the tree: And their bliss will endure unfailingly, While ever the bright heavens endure.tr. 2015 Richard B Gillion |
I see a world of spirits bright, Who reap the pleasures there; They all are robed in purest white, And conquering palms they bear. They drink the deifying stream, They pluck th' ambrosial fruit, And each records the praise of him Who tuned his golden lute.Charles Wesley 1707-88 from: And let this feeble body fail Funeral Hymns 1759 |
