O flaen gweithredoedd rhyfedd Duw

O flaen gweithredoedd rhyfedd Duw
  Y safwn heddyw'n sỳn,
A'r unig air ddaw atom yw,
  Cawn wybod ar ol hyn.

Ireiddiaf flodyn heb un craith,
  Bron agor wywa'n sỳn;
Yn fud y safwn wrth y gwaith,
  Heb wybod beth yw hyn.

Pa fodd, o nos gorthrymder mawr
  Y daw yr hafddydd gwyn?
Pa fodd cawn nef o stormydd llawr?
  Cawn wybod ar ol hyn.

Wrth golli ein cyfeillion cu
  Yn hwyrnos ddu y glyn,
Hiraethwn weld y boreu'n dod
  Cawn wybod ar ol hyn.

Before the wonderful actions of God
  We stand today amazed,
And the only word which comes to us is,
  We shall get to know after this.

A most fresh flower without any crease,
  Scarcely open suddenly withering;
Mute we stand by the work,
  Without knowing what this is.

How, from a night of great tribulation
  Shall come the blessed summer-day?
How shall we get heaven from great storms?
  We shall get to know after this.

While losing our dear friends
  In the long black night of the vale,
We long to see the morning coming
  We will get to know after this.
