Bangor Goleuni’r Byd…For our beloved Queen and the Prince of Wales in the Old British (Welsh)

Rydych chi yn y halen y ddaear. Ond os yw’r halen hwn a colli ei arogl, a’r hwn bydd yn cael ei halltu? Mae’n hyn allan yn dda i ddim ond i’w fwrw allan, ac i gael eu sathru dan draed. Rydych chi yn y Goleuni’r Byd. Ni all dinas a osodir ar fryn yn guddiedig. Nid yw cannwyll cuddio ac yn rhoi dan lestr, ond ar ganhwyllbren, ac mae’n rhoi golau i bawb yn y tŷ. Gadewch Llewyrched felly eich goleuni y gall eich gweithredoedd da i’w gweld, ac felly gogoneddont eich Tad yr hwn sydd yn y nefoedd.

Iesu o Nasareth

Mae Golau mawr goleuo Byd wedi cael ei gyneuodd, a godwyd ar ganhwyllbren, disgleirio dros yr holl ddaear, yn ddinas gaerog brenhinol dda ac yn gosod ar fryn, lle mae poblogaeth fawr sy’n perthyn i Dduw.

Emyn i Sant Padrig … Antiphonary Bangor.

Mae’r murlun gan Kenneth Webb yn Abaty Bangor Comisiynwyd dan arweiniad Canon James Hamilton. Mae’r defnydd o’r triongl, sy’n dynodi y Drindod Sanctaidd, yn treiddio drwy’r cynllun cyfan ac yn ein harwain i fyny oddi wrth y ffigurau o Comgall, Columbanus a Fustl yn y tu blaen i’r ffigur canolog y Esgynnol Grist. Mae nodweddion Crist yw rhai’r person Black, gan bwysleisio natur cyfriniol y Mab y Dyn. Mae’n cael ei genhedlu fel rhoi ei Command diwethaf:”Ewch i’r holl y Byd ac bregethu’r Efengyl”

You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt hath lost its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is henceforth good for nothing but to be cast out and to be trodden underfoot. You are the Light of the World. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither is a candle hid and put under a bushel, but on a candlestick, and it gives light to everyone in the house. Let your light so shine that your good works may be seen and so glorify your Father who is in heaven.
Jesus of Nazareth
A great Light illuminating the World has been kindled, raised on a candlestick, shining over the whole earth, a royal city well fortified and set on a hill, in which there is a great population who belong to God.
Hymn to Saint Patrick… Bangor Antiphonary.
The mural by Kenneth Webb in Bangor Abbey was commissioned under the guidance of Canon James Hamilton. The use of the triangle, denoting the Holy Trinity, pervades the whole design and leads us upwards from the figures of Comgall, Columbanus and Gall in the foreground to the central figure of the Ascending Christ. The features of Christ are those of a Black person, emphasising the mystic nature of the Son of Man. He is conceived as giving His Last Command:
” Go ye into all the World and preach the Gospel”
