Wel dyma'r dydd! ni fyddaf drīst,
Cyfododd Crist, cōf ydyw;
O'r achos, galar gwyllt sy'n gwau,
Drwy erchyll
beiriau distryw!
Amlygodd Crist ei werthfawr rās,
Pan sengodd deyrnas angeu;
I lawr fe sathrai'r gelyn sur,
Gan ddryllio ei fur yn foreu!
Fe seliai'n llwyr faddeuant llawn,
A nawdd i'w
gyfiawn eiddo:
Y rhai a wneir
drwy rinwedd grās
Yn ddeiliaid addas iddo.
Agorodd ffordd,
o eigion bedd,
I ddinas hźdd oddiyno:
Am hyn diolchaf i fy Nāf,
Os nerth a gāf i'w gofio.
efel. Corph y Gaingc 1810

See, here is the day! I will not be sad,
That Christ arose, to remember it is;
Because of this, wild lamenting is fleeing,
Through the hideous
cauldrons of destruction!
Christ made evident his valuable grace,
When he trod the kingdom of death;
Down he trampled the bitter enemy,
By shattering his rampart in the morning!
He would seal completely full forgiveness,
And protection for his
righteous possession:
Those shall be made
through the virtue of grace
Worthy tenants to him.
A way was opened,
from the depth of a grave,
To the city of peace from there:
Therefore I will give thanks to my Chief,
If strength I get to remember him.
tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion

This is the day when Christ arose,
So early from the dead;
Why should I keep my eye-lids closed,
And waste my
hours in bed?
This is the day when Jesus broke
The pow'r of death and hell;
And shall I still wear Satan's yoke,
And love my sins so well?
Today with pleasure Christians meet,
To pray and
hear thy word:
And I would go
with cheerful feet
To learn thy will, O Lord.
I'll leave my sport
to read and pray,
And so prepare for heav'n;
O may I love this blessed day
The best of all the seven!
