Y Gwr wrth Ffynnon Jacob Eisteddodd gynt i lawr, Tramwyodd drwy Samaria, Tramwyed yma'n awr; 'R oedd syched arno yno Am gael eu hachub hwy, Mae syched arno eto Am achub llawer mwy. Mwy, mwy am achub llawer mwy, Mae syched arno eto Am achub llawer mwy. Y Gwr fu ar Galfaria A welir ddydd a ddaw, Yn eistedd ar ei orsedd, A'r glorian yn ei law; A phawb a gesglir ato I'w pwyso ger ei fron, O! f'enaid, cais dduwioldeb A dry y glorian hon. Hon, hon a dry y glorian hon. O! f'enaid, cais dduwioldeb A dry y glorian hon.
