Pwy ym Methlem geir yn Frawd?

Pwy ym Methlem geir yn Frawd
  I bechadur truan?
Pwy o'r nef a ddaeth yn dlawd
  Gan ddibrisio'i hunan?
                  Iesu Grist.

Pwy chwareuai gyda'r plant
  Hyd y ffyrdd a'r caeau?
Pwy enillai galon sant
  Yn y synagogau?
                  Iesu Grist.

Pwy fu'n dirion ymhob tref
  Wrth y gwan a'r tlodion?
Pwy'n y fynwent gododd lef
  Nes dihuno'r meirwon?
                  Iesu Grist.

Pwy a wisgodd goron ddrain -
  Blethwyd gan elynion?
Pwy fu'n diodde i bicell fain
  Dorri drwy Ei galon?
                  Iesu Grist.

Pwy fu farw drosom ni
  Ar y croesbren garw?
Pwy ar fynydd Calfari
  Weithiodd ffordd y cadw?
                  Iesu Grist.

Pwy esgynnodd fry i'r nef
  I feddiannu'i goron?
Pwy sydd yno'n daer Ei lef
  Fyth, am achub dynion?
                  Iesu Grist.

Tôn [76763]: Gwawrfryn (Moliant Plentyn, Rhan II, 1927.)

Who in Bethlehem is there as a Brother
  To wretched sinners?
Who from heaven has come as poor
  Disregarding himself?
                         Jesus Christ.

Who would play with the children
  Along the roads and the fields?
Who would win the holy hearts
  In the synagogue?
                         Jesus Christ.

Who was tender in every town
  Towards the weak and the poor?
Who in the cemetery raised a cry
  Until waking the dead?
                         Jesus Christ.

Who wore a crown of thorns -
  Plaited by enemies?
Who suffered a sharp spear
  To cut through his heart?
                         Jesus Christ.

Who died for us
  On the rough wooden cross?
Who on mount Calvary
  Made a way to save?
                         Jesus Christ.

Who ascended up to heaven
  To possess the crown?
Who is there, His cry earnest
  Forever, for saving men?
                         Jesus Christ.
