Chairing of the Bard

The chairing of the bard is a welsh event in which a 'bard' is named by winning a poetry competition.
We had a small one at our school, and they read some welsh which I thought would be fun to share.
and, no, it does not sound anything like it looks.

Dyro, Druw, dy nawdd;
ac yn nawdd, nerth;
ac yn nerth, deall;
ac yn neall, gwybod;
ac o wybod, qwybod y cyfiawn;
ac o wydob y cyfiawn ei garu;
ac o garu, caru Duw.
Duw a phob daioni.

The translation into english is:

Grant, God, thy refuge;
and in refuge, strength;
and in strength, understanding;
and in understanding, knowledge;
and from knowledge, knowledge of what is right;
and from knowledge of wat is right, the love of it;
and from loving, the love of God.
God and all goodness.
