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!
Eliseus Williams (Eifion Wyn) 1867-1926
Tonau [8787337]: |
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!
