Mae torf aneirif fawr

Mae torf aneirif fawr
Yn ddisglaer fel y wawr,
  'Nawr yn y nef:
Trwy ganol gwawd a llid,
A gwrth'nebiadau'r byd,
Ac angau glas ynghyd,
  A'i carodd ef.
William Williams 1717-91

There is a great innumerable host
Shining like the dawn,
  Now in heaven:
Through the midst of scorn and wrath,
And the oppositions of the world,
And dire death altogether,
  He loved them.
