Dy foliant, O! Dduw, a ddyrchafwn,
Di Frenin y saint y mhob oes;
Gwroniaid y ffydd a ganmolwn,
Fu ffyddlon hyd
angau a'i loes;
Dy ras a'u cynhaliodd
ym mheiriau
Gorthrymder a
phechod y byd,
Dy ffydd oedd eu tarian ym mrwydrau
Cyfiawnder a heddwch cyhyd.
Dy fawrion weithredoedd a welir
Ym mywyd a buchedd dy saint;
Eu henwau a'u clod
a ddyrchefir
Ym moliant dy eglwys,
ein braint;
Brenhinoedd, proffwydi, bugeiliaid,
Arweinwyr dy braidd ym mhob rhad,
Merthyron, a'r lluoedd ffyddloniaid,
Gwŷr cedyrn eu heglwys
a'u gwlad.
Moliannwn dy enw am ddoniau
Dy blant mewn cerddoriaeth a chân
Dy Ysbryd eneiniodd eu salmau
Yn aberth mawl
cariad yn dân;
Boed moliant i'th enw
am olud
Holl ddawn a daioni
pob oes,
Ond molwn di'n bennaf, yn unfryd,
Am ddoniau anhraethol
y groes.
Canmolwn dy seintiau anenwog,
Na wybu mo'r ddaear eu gwerth;
Cafiawnion o'ent hwy a thrugarog,
Mewn gwendid tydi oedd eu nerth;
Fe'u rhwymaist o fewn dy gyfamod,
Fe'u cedwaist a'u
plant yn y byd,
A bendith dy gariad diymod
Yn harddu eu llwybrau ynghyd.
Moliannwn dy enw, Dduw cadarn,
Wrth gofio hen
seintiau ein gwlad
Am Ddewi, a Theilo, a Phadarn,
A Deiniol, mewn oesol fawrhad.
Dyrchafed dy eglwys ei moliant
I'th enw trwy
gyrrau'r holl fyd,
Rhoed daear a nef y gogoniant
I'r Drindod mewn Undod ynghyd.
Arthur Simon Thomas (Anellydd) 1865-1935
Tonau [9898D]: |
Thy praise, O God, we will raise,
Thou King of the saints of every age;
The heroes of faith we extol,
Who were faithful unto
death and its throes;
'Twas thy grace that upheld
them in the cauldrons
Of the oppression and
sin of the world,
Thy faith was their shield in the battles
Of righteousness and peace for so long.
Thy great deeds are to be seen
In the life and conduct of thy saints;
Their names and their esteem,
which are exalted
In the praise of thy church,
our privilege;
Kings, prophets, pastors,
Leaders of thy flocks in every grace,
Martyrs, and the hosts of the faithful,
Stedfast men of their church
and their land.
We pray thy name for the gifts
Of thy children in music and song
Thy Spirit that anointed their psalms
As a sacrifice of praise
of love as a fire;
May there be praise to thy name
for the wealth
Of all the gift and goodness
of every age,
But we praise thee chiefly, of one mind,
For the inexpressible gifts
of the cross.
We extol thy unnamed saints,
Whose worth the world does not know;
Righteous were they a merciful,
In weakness thou wast their strength;
Thou didst bind them within thy covenant,
Thou didst keep them and their
children in the world,
With the blessing of thy stedfast love
Beautifying their paths altogther.
We praise thy name, mighty God,
On remembering the old
saints of our land:
David, and Teilo, a Padarn,
And Deiniol, in everlasting majesty.
May thy church exalt her praise
To they name through the
corners of the world,
May heaven and earth render the glory
To the Trinity in Unity altogether.
tr. 2019 Richard B Gillion
