Pa bryd y caf O Arglwydd cu?
Pryd y caf O Arglwydd Iesu?

(Hiraeth am y Nef)
Pa bryd y caf, O Arglwydd cu,
    Gennyt le
    Yn y ne'
  I oesi gydâ'r Iesu?

Pa bryd y caf fi ganu yng Nghanaan,
    Le nid oes
    Poen na loes?
  I drigo, teg yw'r drigfan!

Pa bryd daw'r deyrnas
      i mi gael dirnad,
    Beth yw bod
    Dan gysgod,
  Yn gorwedd yn dy gariad?

Iesu, agor, Dwysog d'wisol,
    Ddrws y nen
    Led y pen:
  A gwna ni'n un â'th bobol.

Pryd y caf, O! Arglwydd Iesu,
    Hyfryd le
    Yn y ne'
  Gennyt i drigiannu?

Pryd y caf fi ganu yng Nghanaan,
    Le nid oes
    Poen na loes?
  O! mor deg yw'r drigfan!

Pryd y caf fi, Arglwydd, ddirnad
    Beth yw bod
    Dan dy nod -
  Gorwedd yn dy gariad?

Iesu, agor, Dwysog dwyfol,
    Ddrws y nen
    Led y pen:
  Gwna fi o'r nifer nefol.

Tôn [8336]: Cwm Du (D Emlyn Evans 1843-1913)

(Longing for Heaven)
When may I get, O dear Lord,
    From thee a place
    In heaven
  To spend an age with Jesus?

When may I get to sing in Canaan,
    Where there is no
    Pain or anguish,
  To dwell, fair is the residence!

When will the kingdom come
      for me to get to comprehend
    What it is to be
    Under thy shadow,
  Lying in thy love?

Jesus, open, chosen Prince,
    The doors of heaven
    Wide open,
  And make us one with thy people.

              - - - - -

When may I get, O Lord Jesus,
    A delightful place
    In heaven
  With thee to reside?

When may I get to sing in Canaan,
    Where there is no
    Pain or anguish?
  O how fair is the dwelling-place!

When may I get, Lord, to comprehend
    What it is to be
    Under thy mark -
  To lie in thy love?

Jesus, open, divine Prince,
    The doors of heaven
    Wide open:
  Make me one of the heavenly number.
