Ymlaen! ymlaen marchoga'n awr, Clyw groch Hosanna'r dyrfa fawr; O! addfwyn Iesu, dos ymlaen Dros gangau gwydd a gwisgoedd taen. Ymlaen! ymlaen mewn breiniol fri A llariaidd rwysg, i'th angau di; O! Grist, gorchfyga yn dy rym Bechodau'r byd ac angau llym. Ymlaen! ymlaen, O! Frenin mawr! Mae'r nefoedd oll yn plygu'n awr, Gan syllu a rhyfeddu'n fud Gerbron anfeidrol Aberth drud. Ymlaen! ymlaen mewn rhwysgedd clau, Mae'r ymdrech olaf yn nesau; Y Tad ar berlog orsedd sy Yn disgwyl ei Eneiniog fry. Ymlaen! ymlaen mewn breiniol fri A llariaidd rwysg, i'th Angau di; O! plyg dy ben i farwol boen, Dring orsedd Duw, ddihalog Oen. cyf. John Williams (Glanmor) 1811-91

Onward! onward ride now, Hear the strident Hosanna of the great throng; O! gentle Jesus, go onward Over tree branches and spread garments. Onward! onward in royal prestige With a meek flourish, to thy death; O Christ, overcome in thy force The sins of the world and sharp death! Onward! onward, O great King! All heaven is bending now, Staring with wonder mute Before the infinite, costly Sacrifice. Onward! onward in swift splendour, The last effort is approaching; The Father on a pearl throne is Awaiting his Anointed above. Onward! onward in royal prestige With a meek flourish, to thy death; O bow thy head to mortal pain, Climb the throne of God, undefiled Lamb. tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion |
Ride on, ride on, in majesty! Hark! all the tribes Hosanna cry; O Saviour meek, pursue Thy road With palms and scattered garments strowed. Ride on, ride on, in majesty! In lowly pomp ride on to die! O Christ! Thy triumph now begin O'er captive death and conquered sin. Ride on, ride on, in majesty! The wingèd squadrons of the sky Look down with sad and wondering eyes To see the approaching sacrifice. Ride on, ride on, in majesty! Thy last and fiercest strife is nigh; The Father, on His sapphire throne, Expects His own anointed Son. Ride on, ride on, in majesty! In lowly pomp ride on to die; Bow Thy meek head to mortal pain, Then take, O God, Thy power, and reign.
