Geiriau/Lyrics:
I bob un sydd ffyddlon
Dan Ei faner Ef,
Mae gan Iesu goron
Fry yn nheyrnas nef:
Lluoedd Duw a Satan
Sydd yn cwrdd yn awr:
Mae gan blant eu cyfran
Yn y rhyfel mawr.
Cytgan:
I bob un sydd ffyddlon
Dan Ei faner Ef
Mae gan Iesu goron
Fry yn nheyrnas nef.
Awn i gwrdd y gelyn
Bawb ag arfau glân;
Uffern sydd i'n herbyn
A'i phicellau tân.
Gwasgwn yn y rhengau,
Ac edrychwn fry;
Concrwr byd ac angau
Acw sydd o'n tu!
Haleliwia, Haleliwia
Moliant iddo byth amen
Haleliwia, Haleliwia
Moliant iddo byth amen
English:
To everyone who is faithful
Under his banner,
Jesus has a crown
Up in the kingdom of Heaven.
The forces of God and Satan
Are now meeting:
The children have their contribution
In the great war
Chorus:
To everyone who is faithful
Under his banner,
Jesus has a crown
Up in the kingdom of Heaven.
We'll go meet the enemy
Everyone with holy weapons;
Hell is against us
With it's pikes of fire.
We'll squeeze into the ranks
And we'll look up;
The conqueror of the world and death
Is all around us
