Newyddion o lawenydd orch'mynwyd roi ar led
Newyddion o newyddion orch'mynyd roi ar led

Newyddion o lawenydd
    orch'mynwyd roi ar led;
Cān gwynfyd ar ol gwynfyd
    a fydd i bawb a'u cred:
  Newyddion rhad i ddynion,
      i Dduw newyddion drud;
  Meddyliau hen y Duwdod
      cyn gosod
          seilfaen byd.
o lawenydd :: y newyddion
gwynfyd ar ol gwynfyd :: bendith ar ol bendith
I Dduw :: i Grist
seilfaen :: sylfaen

[Mesur: 7676D] 

News of joy
    which was commanded to be put abroad;
A song of blessing after blessing
    which shall be to all who believe them:
  Free news to men,
      to God costly news;
  The old thoughts of the Godhead
      before the setting
          of the foundation of the world.
of joy :: of the news
blessedness after blessedness :: blessing after blessing
To God :: To Christ
