Mawu ƒe nublanui kpɔkpɔ Keke abe ƒu ene Dɔmenyonyo le 'ƒe Fiatsotso me si nyo wu abloɖe
English
There’s a wideness in God’s mercy, Like the wideness of the sea; There’s a kindness in His justice, Which is more than liberty.
Verse 2
Eʋegbe
Edoa dzaa na nuvɔ̃wɔla Vea nyuie wɔ la wo nu Blanui kpɔkpɔ le Ðela gbɔ Dɔyɔyɔ le 'ƒe ʋu me
English
There is welcome for the sinner, And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Savior; There is healing in His blood.
Verse 3
Eʋegbe
Mawu ƒe lɔlɔ̃ keketa, Wu 'gbetɔwo ƒe susu Ye Mawu fia mavɔ la ƒe dzi Yɔ kple dɔmenyonyo
English
For the love of God is broader Than the measure of man’s mind, And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind.
Verse 4
Eʋegbe
Ne miaƒe lɔlɔ̃ le sue hã Mìaxɔ eƒe nya dzi ase Eye miaƒ 'agbe'o woanɔ keklẽm Le mia 'ƒetɔ la me.
English
If our love were but more simple, We should take Him at His word; And our lives would be all sunshine In the sweetness of our Lord.
