Wele'r Barnwr yn ei gerbyd

(Críst y Barnwr yn ymddangos)
Wele'r Barnwr yn ei gerbyd,
  'R Udgorn mawr yn canu o'i flaen;
Nawr ymgasgla'r meirw cysglyd,
  Oll ger bron ei orsedd lân:
    Haleluia, &c.
  Groesaw anwyl Grist o'r nef.

'R annuwiolion gânt ei weled,
  Ar y cwmmwl goleu mawr;
Nid oes iddynt mwy ymwared,
  Darfu'u llwyddiant
      ar y llawr:
    Haleluia, &c.
  Daeth ofnadwy ddydd y farn!

Gorfoledda y ffyddloniaid,
  A'u llawenydd fydd yn llawn;
Daeth eu Prynwr mawr bendigaid,
  A'u Gwaredwr 'anwyl iawn:
    Haleluia, &c.
  Escyn 'n awr y saint i'r nef.

"Dewch i'r gwynfyd a'r gogoniant,
  Fendigedig blant fy Nhad;
Cym'rwch orfoleddus feddiant
  O'r drag'wyddol deyrnas rad:"
    Haleluia, &c.
"Gwisgwch eich coronau hardd."
Benjamin Francis 1734-99

gwelir:
  Wele'n dyfod ar y cwmwl ('R Hwn fu farw ar y pren)

(Christ the Judge appearing)
See the Judge in his chariot,
  The great trumpet playing before him;
Now the sleepy dead gather together,
  All before his holy throne:
    Hallelujah, &c.
  Welcome, dear Christ from heaven.

The ungodly ones shall get to see him,
  On the great bright cloud;
There is no more deliverance for them,
  All their prosperity
      on the earth perishes:
    Hallelujah, &c.
  The terrible day of judgment has come!

The faithful ones shall rejoice
  And their joy shall be full;
Their great Redeemer, and their
  Very dear Deliverer has come:
    Hallelujah, &c.
  Now the saints shall ascend to heaven.

"Come to the blessedness and the glory,
  Ye blessed children of my Father;
Take jubilant possession
  Of the eternal gracious kingdom:"
    Hallelujah, &c.
  "Wear your beautiful crowns."
tr. 2021 Richard B Gillion
