Rachie

Rachie is another of the real "belters" that gets Cwrs goers going at full tilt. The music is by Caradog Roberts (1878 - 1935). The words are by Henry Lloyd (1870 - 1946), better known by his bardic name of "Ap Hefin".

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!

   

Rachie

"Rachie" (or "Rachel") was the daughter of Caradog Roberts. As can be seen in the translation, Ap Hefin's words are a call to battle.

 

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
