Messia addawedig yn cael ei eni, Luc i. 46, &c.)
A'n henaid, Arglwydd, i'th fawrhawn,
Yn Nuw'n Iachawdwr llawenhawn;
Wrth ddatgan cerdd
y Forwyn lân,
Boed i'r un Yspryd hwylio'n cân.
Ei gwaeled, gwelodd Brenin Nef,
A phethau mawr i hon wnaeth ef;
Ei nerth a'i ras ef arni ddaeth,
Yn fam i'w anwyl Fab fe'i gwnaeth.
Bendigaid galwed pobloedd hi,
A byth parhaed
ei chlod a'i bri;
Ond nag addolwn neb ond Duw,
Eiddigus o'i ogoniant yw.
I'r rhai sy'n ofni a chredu yn Nuw,
Byth sicir ei drugaredd yw;
O oes i oes ei 'ddewid sai',
A chaiff yn ddiogel ei chwplau.
Wrth Abram d'wedodd, Yn dy Had
Caiff yr holl ddaear
fendith rad;
Cof o'r addewid henaidd hon
Fu'n hir yn gorwedd dan ei fron.
Ni ddisgwyl Israel ddim yn hŵy,
Ni edir 'mo'r
cenhedloedd mwy:
Dymuniant yr holl bobl a ddaeth,
Y Forwyn geni'r Had a wnaeth.

promised Messiah born, Luke 1:46, &c.)
With our soul, Lord, we magnify thee,
In God our Saviour we rejoice;
While declaring the poem
of the holy Virgin,
May the same Spirit inspire our song.
Her lowliness, the King of Heaven saw,
And great things for her he did;
His strength and his grace upon her came,
Mother to his dear Son he made her.
Blessed let people call her,
And forever may her acclaim
and renown endure;
But let us not worship anyone but God,
Jealous of his glory he is.
To those who fear and believe in God,
Forever sure his mercy is;
From age to age his promise shall stand,
And safely it shall be fulfilled.
To Abraham he said, In thy Seed
Shall all the earth receive
a gracious blessing
Memory of this ancient promise
Was long lying before him.
Israel shall wait no longer,
The nations are not
to be forsaken any more:
The desire of all the people has come,
The Virgin gave birth to the Seed.

promised Messiah born, Luke 1. 46 &c.)
Our souls shall magnify the Lord,
In God the Saviour we rejoice;
While we repeat the
Virgin's song,
May the same spirit tune our voice.
The Highest saw her low estate,
And mighty things his hand hath done:
His overshadowing power and grace
Makes her the mother of his Son.
Let every nation call her bless'd,
And endless years
prolong her fame;
But God alone must be ador'd;
Holy and reverend is his Name.
To those that fear and trust the Lord
His mercy stands for ever sure:
From age to age his promise lives,
And the performance is secure.
He spake to Abr'am and his seed,
"In thee shall all
the earth be bless'd;"
The memory of that ancient word
Lay long in his eternal breast.
But now no more shall Israel wait,
No more the Gentiles
lie forlorn:
Lo the desire of nations comes,
Behold the promis'd seed is born.
