Gwyn a gwridog hawddgar iawn,
Yw fAnwylyd,
Doniaur nef sydd yn ddon llawn
Per aidd, hyfryd;
Daear faith, nac uchder nef,
Byth ni ffeindia
Arall tebyg iddo Ef,
Haleliwia.

Yn ddoi Hunan y maen llawn
Bob Trysorau
Dwyfol berffaith werth fawr iawn,
Am fy meiau
Gwir ddoethineb hedd a gras,
Gwerth fawr o ca.
Nerth i hollol garior, maes,
Haleliwia.

Dyma sylfaen gadarn gref,
Trwy fy mywyd,
Credu ae edrych arno Ef
Yw fy ngwyn fyd.
Ynddo bellach trwy bob pla
Y gobeithia;
Ac mewn rhyfel canu wna. Haleliwia.
Amen, Amen, Amen.
