Yn ngoleu pur y sanctaidd air

(Gallu Gweddi)

Yn ngoleu pur y sanctaidd air,
  A grym ei haeddiant Ef,
Mae gweddi'r ffydd fel allwedd aur
  Yn agor pyrth y nef.

Robert Ellis (Cynddelw) 1812-75
Tôn [MS 8686]: St Magnus (J Clarke 1668-1707)

(The Power of Prayer)

In the pure light of the sacred word,
  And the force of His merit,
The prayer of fath is like a key of gold
  Opening the portals of heaven.

tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion
