Plant ydym eto dan ein hoed

(Grym duwioldeb)
Plant ydym etto dan ein hoed,
  Yn dysgwyl am y 'stād;
Mae'r etifeddiaeth ini'n dod
  Wrth Destament ein Tad.

N'ad fi foddloni
    ar ryw rith
  O grefydd heb ei grym;
Ond gwir adnabod Iesu Grist,
  Yn fywyd anwyl im'.
Dafydd Jones 1711-77

Plant ydym eto dan ein hoed,
  Yn dysgwyl am y stâd;
Mae'r etifeddiaeth inni'n dod
  Wrth destament ein Tad.

Na ddigalonnwn, er ein bod
  Yn awr mewn anial wlad;
Mae'r etifeddiaeth inni'n dod
  Wrth destament ein Tad.

Gorthrymder geir o dan y rhod,
  Ond byr fydd ei barhad;
Mae'r etifeddiaeth inni'n dod
  Wrth destament ein Tad.

Ni gawn yn fuan ganu clod
  O fewn y nefol wlad:
Mae'r etifeddiaeth inni'n dod
  Wrth destament ein Tad.
Ni gawn yn fuan ganu :: Cawn ganu byth ei uchel

Mae glwad o etifeddiaeth deg,
  Yn aros pawb o'r saint:
Ni ddichon dyn nag angel byth,
  Amgyffred gwerth
      eu braint.

Cyd-etifeddu gaiff y plant
  A Christ - Etiffedd nen;
Cant balmwydd gwyrddion yn eu llaw,
  A choron ar eu pen.

O fewn y baradwysaidd fro,
  O gyrhaedd angen glas,
Tragwyddol bwys gogoniant fydd
  Ar etifeddion gras.

(The force of godliness)
Children are we still under age,
  Waiting for the estate;
The inheritance is coming to us
  According to our Father's testament.

Do not let me be satisfied
    with any illusion
  Of belief without its force;
But truly to know Jesus Christ,
  As dear life to me.

Children are we still under our age,
  Waiting for the state;
The inheritance is coming to us
  According to our Father's testament.

We are not disheartened, although we are
  Now in a desert land;
The inheritance is coming to us
  According to our Father's testament.

Oppression is to be had under the sky,
  But short will be its lasting;
The inheritance is coming to us
  According to our Father's testament.

We will soon be able to sing praise
  Within the heavenly land:
The inheritance is coming to us
  According to our Father's testament.
We will soon be able to sing :: We will be able to sing forever his high

Children are we still under our age,
  Waiting for the state;
The inheritance is coming to us
  According to our Father's testament.

There is a land of fair inheritance,
  Awaiting everyone of the saints:
A man is not sufficient, nor an angel ever,
  To comprehend the value
      of their privilege.

The children may jointly inherit
  With Christ - the Heir of the sky;
They will get green palms in their hand,
  And a crown on their head.

Within the paradisiacal vale,
  From the reach of bitter death,
An eternal weight of glory will be
  On the heirs of grace.
tr. 2009 Richard B Gillion
 
We are but children under age,
  With patience waiting still
For that eternal heritage,
  Giv'n in our Father's will.

A fair inheritance awaits
  Each saint - a rich estate,
Which neither man nor angel can
  Its value estimate.


The children shall be fellow-heirs
  With Christ - His kingdom share;
And they shall wave the victor's palm,
  And crowns of glory wear.





tr. <1897 W Edwards
