Tra peraidd seinia'r angel
Ei nefol euraidd dant,
Dyrchafer mawl i'r Iesu
O galon serchog plant;
Bu yntau ar y ddaear
Unwaith yn friw ei fron;
A'i galon lawenycha
Pan glyw ein lleisiau llon.
Ein Iesu mawr bedigaid,
Tywysog nef y nef,
Tywysog iachawdwriaeth
Molianus fyddo Ef.
Yr haul sy'n gwrido'r nefoedd
Mewn cariad pur at ddyn,
Fendithio blant yr Ysgol
Sabbothol bod ag un;
Bendithier ein hathrawon
I fod i ni byth mwy
Yn fendith, fel bo'm ninau
Yn fendith iddynt hwy.
Mor dirion yw yr Arglwydd
Ei air i ni a roes,
I'w gofio ac i'w gadw
Cysegrwn foreu'n hoes;
Parhawn i'w wasanaethu,
Nes gorphwys yn y nef,
A'r gorphwys fydd gwasanaeth
Tragwyddol iddo Ef.

Tôn: <1897 Anad. (D H Thomas) |
How sweetly sounds the angel
His heavenly golden string,
Praise is raised to Jesus
From the affectionate heart of children;
He himself was on the earth
Once his breast wounded;
And his heart will rejoice
When he hears our cheerful voices.
Our great blessed Jesus,
The Prince of the heaven of heaven,
The Prince of salvation
May he be praised.
The sun reddens the heavens
With the pure love towards man,
Which blessed the children of the Sunday
School, that they be as one;
May our teachers be blessed
To be to us evermore
A blessing, that we ourselves may be
A blessing to them too.
How tender is the Lord,
Who gave his word to us,
To remember it and to keep it
Let us consecrate the morn of our age;
Let us continue to serve him,
Until resting in heaven,
And the rest shall be an eternal
Service for him.
tr. 2020 Richard B Gillion

With raptured soul the angels
To God their anthem raise;
Let children's happy voices
Re-echo Jesus' praise;
He once on earth abided,
Weary and lone and sad;
But children's hearty voices
Would then His heart make glad.
O Jesus, blessed Jesus,
The heavens Thy name adore;
Salvation's mighty Captain,
We'll praise Thee evermore.
As shines in realms of glory
The Sun of righteousness,
So may salvation's story
Our loving children bless:
May every teacher scatter
the seeds of heavenly love,
Until a glorious harvest
Be raised to Christ above.
the Lord is good and gracious,
He gave His word that we
In youth might find a treasure
For all eternity.
Oh let us never weary
His erring sheep to tend,
Until the gates of glory
Our earthly labours end.
