O tyrd, O tyrd, Emanwël! A datod rwymau Isräel, Sy'n wylo'n brudd mewn estron wlad Mewn blin gaethiwed a sarhad. O cân! O cân! Emanwël Ddaw atat ti, O Isräel. O tyrd, Flaguryn Iese'n awr, A dryllia allu'r gelyn mawr; I'th weision dyro nefol hedd, A buddugoliaeth ar y bedd. O Wawrddydd, tyred, llawenha Galonnau trist â'th ddoniau da: O gwasgar dew gymylau'r hwyr, Gyr ymaith ofnau angau'n llwyr. O Allwedd Dafydd, tyred di, Ac agor borth y nef i ni: Arloesa'r ffordd i wlad yr hedd, A chae holl lwybrau oer y bedd. O tyred, gadarn Iôr, mewn nerth, Dydi, Breswylydd mawr y berth, A roddes gynt y gyfraith lân Ar Sinai mewn cymylau tân.cyf. D Ambrose Jones 1866-1951
Tôn [88.88.88]: Veni Emmanuel |
O come, O come, Emmanuel! And undo the bonds of Israel, Who is weeping sadly in a strange land In grievous captivity and insult. O sing! O sing! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel. O come, Shoot of Jesse, now, And smash the power of the great enemy; To thy servants grant heavenly peace, And victory over the grave. O Dawn of day, come, cheer Sad hearts with thy good gifts: And scatter the thick clouds of the night, Drive away fears of death completely. O Key of David, come thou, And open the gate of heaven to us: Pioneer the way to the land of peace, And close all the cold paths of the grave. O come, steadfast Lord, in strength, Thou, the great resident of the bush, Who gavest of old the holy law On Sinai in clouds of fire.tr. 2023 Richard B Gillion |
O come, O come, Emmanuel, And ransom captive Israel, That mourns in lonely exile here Until the Son of God appear. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel. O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free Thine own from Satan's tyranny; From depths of hell Thy people save, And give them victory over the grave. O come, Thou Day-spring, come and cheer Our spirits by Thine advent here; Disperse the gloomy clouds of night, And death's dark shadows put to flight. O come, Thou Key of David, come, And open wide our heavenly home; Make safe the way that leads on high, And close the path to misery. O come, O come, great Lord of might, Who to Thy tribes on Sinai's height In ancient times once gave the law In cloud and majesty and awe.tr. 1851 John Mason Neale 1818-66 Mediæval Hymns 1851 from the Latin Veni veni Emmanuel 12th Century antiphons
