Mawr ei enw'n ninas ein Duw,
A hynod yw yr Arglwydd;
Ei drigfan ef yno y sydd,
Yn mynydd ei sancteiddrwydd.
Adwaenir Duw yn mhlasau hon
Yn gymhorth digon hynod:
Ac wele, nerth
breninoedd byd
Dont yno i gyd-gyfarfod.
Sef hyn yn ninas ein Duw ni,
Sicrhâ Duw hi byth bythoedd:
Duw, dysgwyliasom am dy ras
I'th deml, ac addas ydoedd.
Ewch, ewch oddi amgylch Sion sail,
A'i thyrau adail rhifwch;
Ei chadarn fur, a'i phlasau draw,
I'r oes a Dduw mynegwch.
Can's ein Duw ni byth yw'r Duw hwn;
Hyd angau credwn ynddo:
A hyd angau hwnw a fydd
Yn dragywydd i'n t'wyso.

Tonau [MS 8787]: |
Great his name in the city of our God,
And remarkable is the Lord;
His residence which is there
In the mountain of his holiness.
God is to be known in these palaces
As a remarkably sufficient help:
And see, the strength
of the kings of the world
Come there to meet together.
This stands in the city of our God,
God will establish her forever and ever:
God, we had hoped for thy grace
To thy temple, and it was worthy.
Go, go around Zion's foundation
And count her built towers;
Her strong wall, and her palaces yonder,
Expound to the age of God.
Since our God is forever this God;
Until death let us believe in him:
And until death he will
In eternity lead us.
His residence which is there :: His residence also is there tr. 2011 Richard B Gillion |
1 The Lord, the only God, is great,
and greatly to be praised
In Zion on whose happy mount
his sacred throne is raised.
3 God in her palaces is known;
his presence is her guard:
4 Confed'rate kings
withdrew their siege,
and success despaired.
9 Not in our fortresses and walls
did we, O God confide;
But on the temple fixed our hopes,
in which thou dost reside.
12 Compass her walls in solemn pomp,
your eyes quite round her cast;
Count all her tow'rs, and see if there
you find one stone displaced.
13 Her forts and palaces survey,
observe their order well;
That with assurance to your heirs
this wonder you may tell.
14 This God is ours, and will be ours,
while we in him confide;
Who, as he has preserved us now,
till death will be our guide.
