Cyfansoddwyd y dôn ar gyfer yr emyn Cymraeg “Calon Lân” gan John Hughes. Ysgrifennwyd geiriau'r emyn yn y 1890au gan Daniel James, a adnabyddir hefyd fel Gwyrosydd. Erys y gân yn un o ganeuon enwocaf Cymru. The tune for the Welsh hymn “Calon Lân” was composed by John Hughes. The words of the hymn were written in the 1890s by Daniel James, also known as Gwyrosydd. The song remains one of the most famous songs in Wales. Here is a rough translation of the Welsh words (I do not ask for a luxurious life, The world’s gold or its fine pearls, I ask for a happy heart, A truthful heart, a pure heart. Chorus: A pure heart full of goodness Is fairer than the pretty lily, none but a pure heart can sing, sing in the day and sing in the night. If I wished for worldly wealth, it would swiftly go to seed; The riches of a virtuous, pure heart Will bear eternal profit. Chorus Evening and morning, my wish Rising to heaven on the wing of song for God, for the sake of my Saviour, to give me a pure heart.)
