Bethlehem

Bethlehem Lyrics

Ewch yn Hawen, ewch a'ch doniau
Unwaith eto i Feth'lem dref,
Gwelwch Faban mewn cadachau,
Iesu ydyw, D'wysog nef.

Cenwch yno, blant y gwledydd,
Am un bychan yn gwair,
Er ei wrthod gan aelwydydd
Croeso gafodd ar lin Mair.

Rhowch eich dagrau, famau tirion,
Dros y Ceidwad gwan ei wedd;
O! mor oer y byd a'i roddion –
Coron ddrain, a chroes a bedd.

Gyfaill, a ddoi dithau heno
I gyfrannu o olud Duw?
Deil yr hen addewid eto
Fod y Baban yma'n fyw.

Go happily, take your gifts
Once again to the town of Bethlehem,
See the Babe in swaddling clothes
It is Christ, the Prince of Heaven.

Sing, children of all nations
About the child in the hay,
Although rejected by other homes,
He is welcome in Mary's bosom.

Shed your tears, gentle mothers,
For the meek Saviour,
How cold is the world and its gifts –
A crown of thorns, a cross and a tomb.

Friend, will you come tonight
To partake of God's splendour?
The old promise still holds good
That the Babe is here and alive!
