Ni ffurfiau allanol o un rhyw Na dim defodau a roes Duw, Nac 'wyllys dyn na gwaed, medd ef, All godi enaid fynu i'r nef. Ewyllys Duw, nid dysg na thrās A'n crea yn etifeddion gras; Ein geni ar ddelw Crist Mab Duw Yn ddynion newydd rasol ryw. Yr Ysbryd Glān fel gwynt o'r nef Ar feibion cnawd anadla ef, A newid yr holl gnawdol fryd, A'r dyn mewn dull o newydd dyd. Ein henaid pan fywhair yn wir A gwyd o gwsg marwolaeth hir; Ac edrych wnawn ar bethau'r nef, A moli Duw yn llon ein llef. cyf. Caniadau Ysprydol 1775

Not outward forms of any kind Nor any devotion God gave, Nor the will of man nor blood, said he, Can raise a soul up to heaven. The will of God, not learning or descent Makes us heirs of grace; Our birth in the image of Christ the Son of God As new men of a gracious kind. The Holy Spirit like wind from heaven On the sons of flesh he blows, And changes the whole fleshly mind, And puts the man in a new manner. Our souls when they are truly revived And raised from the long sleep of death; And look we shall on the things of heaven, And praise God with our cheerful cry. tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion |
Not all the outward forms on earth, Nor rites that God has giv'n, Nor will of man, nor blood, nor birth, Can raise a soul to heav'n. The sovereign will of God alone Creates us heirs of grace Born in the image of his Son, A new, peculiar race. The Spirit, like some heav'nly wind, Blows on the sons of flesh, New-models all the carnal mind, And forms the man afresh. Our quickened souls awake, and rise From the long sleep of death; On heav'nly things we fix our eyes, And praise employs our breath.
