Dyrchafa'r Iôn fryn Calfari

(Dyrchafiad Calfaria)
Dyrchafa'r Iôn fryn Calfari
Uwch law y bryniau mya'u bri;
  Fel gallo holl genhedloedd byd
  Gael gwel'd y groes
      a'r aberth drud.

Calfaria fryn - dyrchefir ef
Yn ngolwg pawb o dàn y nef;
  Fe ddaw'r Iuddewon yn gyttûn
  I wel'd gogoniant Mab y dyn.
William Edwards 1773-1853

(The exaltation of Calvary)
The Lord will exalt the hill of Calvary
Above the hills of great renown;
  Thus he will call all the world's nations
  To get to see the cross
      and the costly sacrifice.

Calvary hill - to be exalted it is
In the sight of all under heaven;
  The Jews will come in agreement
  To see the glory of the Son of man.
tr. 2015 Richard B Gillion
