God is our Song, and every singer blest Who praising Him finds energy and rest. All who praise God with unaffected joy Give back to us the wisdom we destroy, Give back to us the wisdom we destroy.

English
God is our Song, for Jesus comes to save; While praising Him we offer all we have. New songs we sing, in ventures new unite, When Jesus leads us upward into light, When Jesus leads us upward into light.

Eʋegbe
Kafuha sia mehea tɔtɔ vɛ o Ame si kafunɛ ɖea veve ɖa Lɔlɔ̃ sɔŋ le ekafukafu me Mawu hea tsitsi-ɖe-dzi nyuitɔ vɛ. Mawu hea tsitsi-ɖe-dzi nyuitɔ vɛ.
English
This is the Song no conflict ever drowns; Who praises God our human wrath disowns. Love knows what rich complexities of sound God builds upon a simple common ground, God builds upon a simple common ground.
Verse 4
Eʋegbe
Ne ɖoɖoe zi ha Ma'u nye miaƒe ha Ne dzidzɔ, alo veve lé mìaƒ'aɖe hã Dzidzɔtɔ tɔe nye ame si ɖoato kpoo. Vaseɖe sime, mìagbe'o aga do. Vaseɖe sime, mìagbe'o aga do.
English
God is our Silence when no songs are sung, When ecstasy or sorrow stills the tongue. Glorious the faith which silently obeys Until we find again the voice of praise, Until we find again the voice of praise.
