Cenir mwy am Fethlem Jwda
Cofir mwy am Fethlem Jwda

1,2,3,(4).
(Y Gân am gadw'r Byd)
Cenir mwy am Fethlem Jwda,
  Testun cân pechadur yw;
Cofir am y preseb hwnnw
  Fu'n hyfrydwch cariad Duw:
    Dwed o hyd pa mor ddrud
  Iddo Ef oedd cadw'r byd.

Cenir mwy am Gethsemane,
  Lle'r ymdrechodd Mab y Dyn:
Cofir am y weddi ddyfal
  A weddïodd wrtha'i Hun:
     Dwed o hyd pa mor ddrud
   Iddo Ef oedd cadw'r byd.

Cenir am y croesbren garw
  Lle y cuddiwyd ŵyneb Duw;
Lle gorffennodd Iesu farw,
  Lle dechreuais innau fyw;
     Dwed o hyd pa mor ddrud
  Iddo Ef oedd cadw'r byd.

Melys dreulir tradwyddoldeb
  Maith, yng ngolwg Calfarî;
Iesu Grist, ei Groes, a'r breseb
  Fydd yn nefoedd byth i ni:
     Canu 'nghyd, pa mor ddrud
  Iddo ef oedd cadw'r byd!

(The Song about saving the World)
Sing more about Bethlehem of Judah,
  The theme of the song of sinners it is;
Remember that crib
  Which was the delight of the love of God:
    Tell still how more costly
  To Him who saved the world!

Sing more about Gethsemane,
  Where the Son of Man struggled:
Remembered the earnest prayer
  Which he prayed about Himself:
    Tell still how more costly
  To Him who saved the world!

Sing about the rough cross
  where God's face was hidden;
Where Jesus finished dying,
  Where I began to live;
    Tell still how more costly
  To Him who saved the world!

Sweetly spend a vast
  Eternity, in view of Calvary;
Jesus Christ, his Cross, and the crib
  Will ever be heaven to us:
    Sing together, how more costly
  To Him who saved the world!
Sing (To be sung) :: Remember (To be remembered)
