O forwyn bur y ganed ef

O forwyn bur y ganed ef,
Ym Methlehem, fendigaid dref,
Ac iddo canai engyl nef:
  In excelsis gloria.

Ar enedigaeth Iesu cu
Afonodd Duw ei osgordd-lu,
Goleuni chwalai'r cwmwl du:
  In excelsis gloria.

Y gān ddechreuwyd uwch y llen,
Fry yn nhrigfannau'r nefoedd wen,
A leinw holl ororau'r nen:
  In excelsis gloria.

Rhy gyfyng ydyw'r nef ei hun
I gynnwys mawl ein Ceidwad cun,
Mae'n fwy na'r nef -
    mae'n Duw, mae'n ddyn:
  In excelsis gloria.

Of a pure virgin he was born,
In Bethlehem, a blessed town,
And to him sang the angels of heaven:
  In excelsis gloria.

On the birth of dear Jesus
God sent his escort,
Light was destroying the black cloud:
  In excelsis gloria.

The song was begun above the curtain,
Up in the dwellings of bright heaven,
And fills all the borders of the sky:
  In excelsis gloria.

Too narrow is heaven itself
To contain the praise of our dear Saviour,
He is greater than heaven -
    he is God, he is man:
  In excelsis gloria.

When Christ was born of Mary free,
In Bethlehem that fair city,
Angels sang there with mirth and glee,
  In excelsis gloria.

Herdsmen beheld these angels bright,
To them appearing with great light,
Who said God's Son is born tonight,
  In excelsis gloria.

The King is come to save mankind,
As in Scripture truths we find,
Therefore this song we have in mind,
  In excelsis gloria.

Then, dear Lord,
    for Thy great grace
Grant us in bliss to see Thy face,
That we may sing to Thy solace,
  In excelsis gloria.
