Rhyfeddol a rhyfeddol

(Y Cariad mwyaf rhyfedd)
Rhyfeddol a rhyfeddol
  erioed yw cariad Duw:
Ei hyd, ei led, ei ddyfnder,
  rhyw fôr diwaelod yw;
A'i uchder annherfynol
  sydd uwch y nefoedd lân,
Hosanna, Halelwia!
  fy enaid, weithian cân.

Rhyfeddol a rhyfeddol:
  fe wawriodd bore ddydd,
Daeth carcharorion allan
  o'u holl gadwyni'n rhydd:
Fe gododd heulwen olau,
  a'i hyfryd lewyrch glân,
Hosanna, Halelwia!
  fy enaid, weithian cân.

(The most wonderful Love)
Wonderful and wonderful
  ever is the love of God:
Its length, its breadth, its depth,
  some bottomless sea it is;
And its infinite height
  is above the holy heavens,
Hosanna, Hallelujah!
  my soul, evermore sing.

Wonderful and wonderful:
  the morn of day has dawned,
Prisoners came out
  from all their chains free:
He set the sunny light,
  And its delightful pure gleam,
Hosanna, Hallelujah!
  my soul, evermore sing.
tr. 2011 Richard B Gillion
