Tenor (melody) line, top staff: John K, John W
Descant line, second staff: Jeremy, David
Bass line, bottom staff: Charlie, Gordon

We'll divide into two trios,

• Group A: John W, Jeremy, Charlie
• Group B: John K, David, Gordon

and split the words  (see below).   I've prepared a new "score" (downloadable via the link) with slightly revised phonetics, and with the words

• in "regular" text for group A
• in italic text for group B
• in bold text when both groups sing together.

And here's the performance for reference - worth listening to while reading the phonetics.

Read on for - more performances; the phonetic text (with the allocation to groups); the Welsh text with a translation.

More performances:

• This is the one that I linked from my original e-mail.
• This is from Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog, which is deep in my "ancestral territory".
• This and this are also interesting and possibly useful.

Welsh text and translation:

Cydganed dynoliaeth am ddydd gwaredigaeth,
Let mankind sing together for the day of salvation,

Daeth trefn y Rhagluniaeth i'r goleuni,
The light of divine providence shines out,

A chân 'Haleliwia' o fawl i'r Gorucha,
And the song "alleluya" of praise to the Highest,

Meseia Jwdea, heb dewi;
The Messiah of Judea, without restraint ["tewi" means "being silent"]

Moliannwn o lawenydd! Gwir ydyw fod Gwaredydd!
Let us praise with rejoicing! True, He is the Redeemer!

Fe anwyd Ceidwad inni, sef Crist, y Brenin Iesu,
A Saviour is born for us, that is Christ, Jesus the King,

Cyn dydd, cyn dydd ym Methlem yn ddi-gudd
Before day[break], before day, in Bethlehem in poverty [lit., "sadly"]

Y caed Gwaredydd ar foreuddydd! O wele ddedwydd ddydd!
The Redeemer is found at break of day! O see the blessed day!


Ein Meichiau a'n Meddyg dan fflangell Iddewig
Our Surety and our Healer beneath a Jewish scourge

Ar agwedd un diddig yn dioddef,
Suffering meekly,

A'i farnu gan Peilat, a'i wisgo mewn sgarlad
And his judgement by Pilate, and his clothing in scarlet

Gan ddynion dideimlad, rhaid addef;
By unfeeling men - we must confess;

A phlethu draenen bigog yn goron anrhugarog
And plaiting sharp thorns into a despicable crown

A'i gosod mewn modd creulon ar ben Iachawdwr dynion:
And putting it cruelly on the head of the Saviour of men:

Fel hyn, fel hyn y gwisgwyd Iesu gwyn,
Even so, even so was blessed Jesus clothed

O dan arteithiau ein mawrion feiau, i boenau pen y bryn.
Under the tortures of our great faults, to agonies on the hill top.


Defnyddiwn ein breintiau, mae perygl o'n holau,
Danger is close, let us use the privilege [that he offers]

Cyn delo dydd angau, dihangwn;
Before the day of death comes, let us escape;

Mae heddiw'n ddydd cymod a'r swper yn barod
Today is the day of reconciliation and the feast is ready

A'r bwrdd wedi ei osod, O brysiwn!
And the table is set, O let us make haste!

Mae'r dwylo fu dan hoelion yn derbyn plant afradlon
The hands that were nailed receive the prodigal children

I wlad y Ganaan nefol i wledda y dragwyddol.
Into the land of Canaan to feast eternally.

Amen. Amen. Boed moliant byth! Amen.
Amen. Amen. Let there be everlasting praise! Amen.

Haleliwia i'r Meseia sy'n maddau byth! Amen.
Halleluja to the ever-forgiving Messiah! Amen.
