English

God’s free mercy streameth Over all the world, And His banner gleameth, By His church unfurled; Broad and deep and glorious, As the heaven above, Shines in might victorious His eternal love.

Eʋegbe

Ɣe le keklẽm nyuie Ðe 'nyigba kple ƒu dzi Dzidzɔ kekeli do L' agbɔsɔsɔ me Nusianu kpɔ dzidzɔ Le keli sia me Gbe akpewo kafui L'anyigba sia dzi

English

Summer suns are glowing Over land and sea; Happy light is flowing, Bountiful and free; Everything rejoices In the mellow rays; Earth’s ten thousand voices Swell the psalm of praise.

Eʋegbe

Mawu kɔ wò kɔkɔenyenye ɖe mia dzi Le wo dɔmenyo ta mìa lɔ̃ wo ɖa hee Ne alilikpo do, blukɔ le yame. Ne ŋu le kekem hã, Fofo nɔ mia gbɔ.

English

Lord, upon our blindness Thy pure radiance pour; For Thy lovingkindness we would love Thee more; And when clouds are drifting Dark across the sky, Then, the veil uplifting, Father, be Thou nigh.

Eʋegbe

Ne Eɣla ɖe mi hã Mia gbe Wòa kpɔ o Wò manɔ me la, agbe nye viviti Kekeli klẽ na mi, l'agbe mɔ sia dzi Fofo dzeŋgɔ na mi, yi ɖe mavɔ me.

English

We will never doubt Thee, Tho’ Thou veil Thy light; Life is dark without Thee, Death with Thee is bright. Light of light, shine o’er us On our pilgrim way, Go Thou still before us To the endless day.
