O! seintiau Duw, ym mrwydrau Yr enillasoch chwi y dydd, Wrth darian, cledd, nid rhaid i chwi Bwriasoch hwy, gerbron eich Rhi; - O! ddedwydd saint, gwyn fyd eich byw, Cewch orffwys mwy gerbron eich Duw. O! seintiau Duw, eich dyrys daith, A ddaeth i ben trwy'r anial maith, A blinder mwy i'ch rhan ni ddaw, - Fe ddarfu croes, diflannodd braw; O! ddedwydd saint, gwyn fyd eich byw, Cewch orffwys mwy yng nghartref Duw. O! seintiau Duw, eich mordaith hir A ddaeth i ben ar lwysteg dir, Drycinoedd croes, ni ddônt i'ch rhan, Ni chyfyd ton ei phen i'r lan; O! ddedwydd saint, gwyn fyd eich byw, Cewch noddfa glyd ym mhorthladd Duw. Mae seintiau Duw yn gwylio'r wawr Tra huna'u cyrff yn llwch y llawr, Y wawr a dyr, - daw'r cyrff o'r bedd, Gan esgyn fry i wlad yr hedd; O! ddedwydd saint, datseiniwch lef, Mae'ch Teyrn ar frys yn dod o'r nef. At Dduw y saint dyrchafwn gri; Iachawdwr! eiriol drosom ni; O! Ysbryd Glân, Arweinydd, moes I ni dy ras hyd derfyn oes; A chyda'r saint gorffwyswn ni Yng ngwawl Paradwys gyda Thi.cyf.

O saints of God! in battles Ye won the day, By shield, sword, no need for you Ye chose them, before your Master; - O happy saints! blessed is your living, Ye shall have rest evermore before your God. O saints of God! your troublesome journey, Came to an end through the vast desert, And weariness no more to your part shall come, - The cross has gone, terror vanished; O happy saints! blessed is your living, Ye shall have rest evermore in the home of God. O saints of God! your long journey Came to an end on a pleasant land, No contrary storms shall come to your part, No wave shall raise up its head; O happy saints! blessed is your living, Ye shall have a secure refuge in God's harbour. The saint of God are expecting the dawn While their bodies sleep in the dust of the ground, The dawn shall break, - the bodies shall come from the grave, Ascending up to the land of peace; O happy saints! make a cry resound, Your Sovereign is quickly coming from heaven. To God, ye saints, let us raise a cry; Saviour, intercede for us! O Holy Spirit, Leader, give To us thy grace until the end of the age! And with the saints we shall rest In the light of Paradise with Thee.tr. 2019 Richard B Gillion |
The saints of God! their conflict past, And life's long battle won at last, No more they need the shield or sword, They cast them down before the Lord: O happy saints, for ever blest, At Jesus' feet how safe your rest! The saints of God! their wanderings done, No more their weary course they run, No more they faint, no more they fall, No foes oppress, no fears appall: O happy saints, for ever blest, In that dear home how sweet your rest! The saints of God! life's voyage o'er, Safe landed on that blissful shore, No stormy tempests now they dread, No roaring billows lift their head: O happy saints, for ever blest, In that calm haven of your rest! The saints of God their vigil keep, While yet their mortal bodies sleep, Till from the dust they too shall rise And soar triumphant to the skies: O happy saints, rejoice and sing; He quickly comes, your Lord and King! O God of saints! to thee we cry; O Saviour! plead for us on high; O Holy Ghost! our guide and friend, Grant us thy grace till life shall end; That with all saints our rest may be In that bright Paradise with thee!
