O Dduw y lluoedd, nerthol Iôr, Penllywydd mawr y tir a'r môr, Yn nydd y gad a heddwch llawn O'th rad ein rhyddid a fwynhawn; Er cwymp teyrasoedd byd a'u bry, Di-wyro yw dy fwriad di. A chysgod angau dros y tir, Bydd di, O Dduw, yn gymorth gwir; Diddana'r sawl sydd dan eu clwy', A bydd yn gysur iddynt hwy; Iôr, gwrando di weddïau'n gwlad Dros feibion glewion yn y gad. Pan ddelo'r wŷs i'w cyrchu hwy I'r wla lled nid oes rhyfel mwy, O derbyn hwy o ing y llawr, A chadw hwynt â'th gariad mawr; Erglyw ein gweddi, dirion Dad, Dros bawb a gwympodd yn y gad.cyf. David Lewis (Ap Ceredigion) 1870-1948

O God of the hosts, powerful Lord, Great supreme Governor of the land and the sea, Yn the midst of the battle and full peace By thy grace we enjoy our freedom; Despite the fall of the world' kingdoms and their honour, Unswerving is thy purpose. With the shadow of death over the land, Be thou, O God, a true help; Soothe those who are under their wound, And be a comfort to them; Lord, listen to the prayers of our country For the brave sons in the battle. When the summons comes for them to set off For the land where there is no war any more, O receive them from the pangs of earth, And keep them by thy great love; Listen to our prayer, tender Father, For all who fell in the battle.tr. 2019 Richard B Gillion |
Lord God of hosts, whose mighty hand, Dominion holds on sea and land, In peace and war Your will we see Shaping the larger liberty; Nations may rise and nations fall, Your changeless purpose rules them all. For those who weak and broken lie In weariness and agony, Great Healer, to their beds of pain Come, touch and make them whole again. O hear a people’s prayers, and bless Your servants in their hour of stress! For those to whom the call shall come, We pray Your tender welcome home; The toil, the bitterness, all past, We trust them to Your love at last. O hear a people’s prayers for all Who, nobly striving, nobly fall!1914 William A Dunkerley 1852-1941
