am fendithion y Prynedigaeth) O mor rasusol a rhyfeddol, Yw'r nefol Iôr yn wir; Yn ei lywodraeth drwy'r greadigaeth, A'i ben-arglwyddiaeth glir: Rhyfedd odiaeth, yw rhagluniaeth Trefn arfaeth Tri yn Un: Nid oes i'w chanfod fwy rhyfeddod Na Duwdod yn y Dyn! Creawdwr mawr y nef, A'r gronfawr ddaear gref; Oen pur isel yn y preseb, Y ca'ed ei burdeb ef: Tad tra'wyddol, Mair rinweddol, A'i Brawd drwy eiriol serch: Yn cael ei foddau, mewn cadachau, - Yn Fab, ar liniau ei ferch; Angylion doethion Duw, Wrth wel'd mor lân ei liw, O wir lawenydd ar foreuddydd, A ganai'r newydd gwiw; Wrth wel'd mor fawrion, ei ryglyddon, Cant telynorion nef: Ac felly rhoddant, mewn gogoniant, Addoliant iddo Ef!cyf.

for the blessings of the Redemption) O how gracious and wonderful, Is the heavenly Lord, truly; In his government throughout the creation, And his clear chief-lordship: An extreme wonder is providence The plan of the purpose of Three in One: Nothing is to be found more wonderful Than Godhead in the Man! The great Creator of heaven, And the great, round, strong earth; A pure Lamb lowly in the manger, His purity was found: Eternal Father, of virtuous Mary, And her Brother through beseeching love: Being satisfied, in nappies, - As a Son, on his daughter's knee; The wise angels of God, On seeing how holy his countenance, From true joy at the morn of day, Would sing the worthy news; On seeing how great his merits, They get the harps of heaven: And thus they render, in glory, Worship unto Him!tr. 2021 Richard B Gillion |
How great how glorious, and how gracious Is full illustrious light, Through the creation, his dominion Shewn before our sight: But how amazing, and surprising, His loving, pleading plan, To leave his heav'nly Father's glory, And made so meanly a man: See him, that made the Sea, And heaven, and earth one day; A dumb Babe here, in the manger, A wonder every way; Mary's Father, and her Brother, Which here is Mary's child: That made all nature, a helpless creature, So mean, - yet pure and mild: That scene made angels Sing; To God their glorious King; Good will abounding, to men living, Great joy they breathing, bring: How deep his mercy, to the guilty, The heavens have really rung As will in glory, ever loudly, The same be amply sung.Edward Barnes fl. c.1760-1795 Corph y Gaingc 1810 [Metre: Bell Isle March] |
