Wel dyma'r trysor mwyaf drud

Wel dyma'r trysor mwyaf drud,
  Gwaed Iesu'n llifo dros y byd!
Byth na foed
    ond ei farwol glwy'
  Yn sylfaen pob caniadau mwy.
William Williams 1717-91

Tôn [MH 8888]: Philadelphia (Psalmist 1850)

gwelir:
  O holl weithredoedd nef yn un
  Y mae hapusrwydd pawb o'r byd

See, here is the most precious treasure,
  The blood of Jesus flowing for the world!
May there never be anything
    but his mortal wound
  As a foundation of all songs evermore.
tr. 2020 Richard B Gillion
