Ni aned neb erioed i'r byd
Fel Iesu Grist;
Ni fu un gÅṁr o'i fewn i gyd
Fel Iesu Grist;
O'r holl greadigaeth, gorau gwawr,
Sydd yn y nef a'r ddaear lawr,
Nid oes, ni fu yr un mor fawr
Ag Iesu Grist;
A chofio geni hwn yw'r gÃḃn
Sy'n gwneud y nefol deulu'n dÃḃn,
Yn don o glod i'w enw glÃḃn,
O Iesu Grist!
Ac nid yn unig yn y nef
Mae'r gÃḃn i gyd:
Datseinia'r ddaear lafar lef
I Brynwr byd.
Ar ÃṀl y codwm mawr a'i loes,
O Eden draw y dyn a droes
I weled Iesu Grist a'i groes
A chael iachÃḃd;
Edrychai'r tadau hwythau'n hir
Am Iesu gwiw, Feseia gwir,
Ar ddiwrnod byddai'n dod i dir
O dÅṖ ei Dad.
Ebenezer Thomas (Eben Fardd) 1802-63
[Mesur: 8484.8884.8884] |
No-one was ever born to the world
Like Jesus Christ;
There never was one within it all
Like Jesus Christ;
Of all the creation, the best dawn,
That is in heaven and the earth below,
There is not, there was not one so great
As Jesus Christ;
And remembering his birth is the song
That makes the heavenly family a fire,
A wave of praise to his holy name,
O Jesus Christ!
And not only in heaven
Is all the song:
The earth resounds with a loud cry
To the world's Redeemer.
After the great fall and its anguish,
From yonder Eden the man who turned
To see Jesus Christ and his cross
And get healing;
Their fathers looked long
For worthy Jesus, true Messiah,
Upon the day when he would come to the land
Of his Father's house.
tr. 2023 Richard B Gillion
