Fe gwympa/gwympir muriau Babylon fawr

1A,1B,1C;  1,2.
(Cwymp Babilon)
Fe gwympir muriau Babylon fawr,         [A]
Fe'i gwneir yn wastad gyda'r llawr:
  Cydlawenhewch anwyliaid nef,
  Duw a wrandawodd ar eich llef.
I lawr, i lawr i'r dialeddfor mawr,     [B]
Hi gwymp, hi gwymp mewn mynyd awr:
  Rhyw ddychrynadwy foddion fydd
      i ddymchwel hon;
  Ac mwyach bydd yn brudd ei bron:
O ddedwydd awr! tra mawr                [C]
    gorfoledd fydd,
Pan welir meibion Sion
    oll yn rhydd;
  Pryd hyn y dedwydd fyd ag uchel gân,
  Ddadseinia foliant
      y Gwaredwr glân.
Haleluia, Amen. 

Daw'r byd yn un
   i foli'r Ion,
Am fuddugoliaeth Crist
    bydd son:
  Gorchfygu wna,
      caiff anghrist glwy',
  Babel a syrth, ni chyfyd mwy,
Hi gwymp, ei seiliau'n crynu sydd,
A thost ddymchweliad
    arni bydd:
  Dadseinir hyn trwy'r
      nef a'r llawr,
  "Daeth dystryw llwyr
      ar Babel fawr."
Neshau mae'r dydd i
    ganu'r Anthem bêr
I Dduw a'r Oen gan
    seintiau rif y sêr,
  "Y ddraig sy'n rhwym,
      fe ddaeth y Jubili,
  Aeth Iesu'n frenin dros ein daear ni."
Haleluia, Amen.

(The Fall of Babylon)
The walls of great Babylon shall fall,
It shall be seen level with the ground:
  Rejoice together ye dear ones of heaven,
  God has listened to your cry.
Down, down to the great sea of retribution,
She will fall, fall within a minute:
  Some terrible means there will be
      for this overthrow;
  And thereafter sad will be her breast;
O happy hour! such great
    rejoicing there shall be,
When the sons of Zion
    shall all be seen free;
  Then the happy world with a loud song,
  Will echo the praise of
      the holy Deliverer.
Hallelujah, Amen.

The world will come as one
    to praise the Sovereign,
About the victory of Christ
    will mention be made:
  Overcome he shall,
      the antichrist will get a wound,
  Babel shall fall, no more will she rise,
She shall fall, her foundations are shaking,
And there will be a sore
    overthrow upon her:
  This is to be echoed throughout
      heaven and the earth,
  "Total destruction has come
      upon great Babel."
Approaching is the day to
    sing the sweet Anthem
To God and the Lamb by
    saints as numerous as the stars,
  "The dragon is bound,
      the Jubilee has come,
  Jesus has gone as king over our earth."
Hallelujah, Amen.
