O flaen gorseddfainc Ior y nef
Ymgrymed pawb - eu dyled yw,
Yr unig fythol Dduw yw ef,
Gall greu, gall ladd, neu gadw'n fyw;
Ei rym, heb ddim o'n cymhorth ni,
A'n gwnaeth o'r pridd
yn hardd i gyd,
Ac, er in' grwydro
'mhell o'i dŷ,
Fe'n dug yn ol i'w gorlan glyd.
I'th byrth awn oll
â llawen gerdd,
Hyd lŷs y nef
derchafwn gân,
Tafodau fyrdd y ddaear werdd
Adseiniant fawl
drwy'th demlau glân.
Lled byd sydd i dy gyfraith bur,
Maith fythol yw y cariad roi,
Fel craig ddiysgog
saif dy wir
Pan beidio rhôdau amser droi.
[I'th byrth awn oll

Hyd lŷs y nef
derchafwn gân,
Tafodau fyrdd y ddaear werdd
Adseiniant fawl
trwy'th demlau glân.
Un led â'r byd yw'th gyfraith bur,
Dy gariad byth nid yw'n ysgoi,
Fel craig dragwyddol saif dy wir
Pan fyddo'r nef a'r ddae'r yn ffoi.]

Tonau [MHD 8888D]: |
Before the throne of the Lord of heaven
Let everyone bow - their duty it is,
The only everlasting God is he,
He can create, can kill, or keep alive;
His power, without any of our help,
Has made us all beautifully
from the soil,
And, although we wandered
far from his house,
He brought us back to his secure fold.
To his courts let us all go
with joyful music,
Up to the court of heaven
let us raise a song,
A myriad tongues from the green earth
Resound praise
throughout thy holy temple.
World wide is thy pure law,
Everlasting is the love it gives,
Like an immovable rock
thy truth shall stand
When the wheels of time cease to turn.
[To thy gates we all shall go
with joyful music,
Up to the courts of heaven
we shall raise a song,
A myriad tongue for the green earth
Shall resound praise
throughout thy holy temple.
The same world-wide is thy pure law,
Thy love shall never be moved,
Like an eternal rock thy truth shall stand
When heaven and the earth shall flee.]
tr. 2020 Richard B Gillion

Before Jehovah's aweful throne,
Ye nations, bow with sacred joy;
Know that the Lord is God alone:
He can create, and he destroy.
His sovereign power, without our aid,
Made us of clay,
and formed us then;
And, when like wandering
sheep we strayed,
He brought us to his fold again.
We'll crowd thy gates
with thankful songs,
High as the heavens
our voices raise;
And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
Shall fill thy courts
with sounding praise.
Wide as the world is thy command,
Vast as eternity thy love;
Firm as a rock
thy truth must stand,
When rolling years shall cease to move.
[We'll crowd thy gates
with thankful songs,
High as the heavens
our voices raise;
And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
Shall fill thy courts
with sounding praise.
Wide as the world is thy command,
Vast as eternity thy love;
Firm as a rock thy truth must stand,
When rolling years shall cease to move.]
