Pan grymodd Crist ei ben
Pan grymodd Iesu ei ben

(Buddugoliaeth Crist)
Pan grymodd Iesu ei ben,
  Wrth farw yn ein lle,
Agorodd ffordd, pan rwygai'r llen,
  I bur drigfanau'r ne'.

Gorchfygodd uffern ddu,
  Gwnaeth ben y sarph yn friw;
O'r carchar caeth y dygir llu,
  Trwy ras, i deulu Duw.

Gorphenodd Ef y gwaith,
  Ac esgyn wnaeth i'r nef;
Lle mae yr holl nefolaidd lu
  Yn canu iddo Ef.

gwelir: Ai am fy meiau i?

(The Victory of Christ)
When Jesus bowed his head
  While dying in our place
A way was opened, when the veil was rent
  To the pure residences of heaven.

He vanquished black hell,
  He crushed the serpent's head,
From the prison a multitude is led,
  Through grace, to the family of God.

He finished the work,
  And ascend he did to heaven;
Where the whole heavenly host are
  Singing unto Him.
Jesus :: Christ
