English

O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness, Bow down before Him, His glory proclaim; With gold of obedience, and incense of lowliness, Kneel and adore Him; the Lord is His name.

Eʋegbe

English

Low at His feet lay thy burden of carefulness; High on His heart He will bear it for thee, Comfort thy sorrows and answer thy prayerfulness, Guiding thy steps as may best for thee be.

Eʋegbe

Megavɔ̃ wò vɔ̃'o nagbe egbɔ yiyi o Akpɔe adze si wò ahedada. Nyateƒe si dze kple lɔlɔ̃ vavatɔ la Woanye eƒe vɔsanu le egbɔ.

English

Fear not to enter His courts in the slenderness Of the poor wealth thou wouldst reckon as thine. Truth in its beauty and love in its tenderness, These are the offerings to lay on His shrine.

Eʋegbe

Míetsɔ esiawo vɛ kple vɔvɔ̃ geɖe hã Axɔ wò le eƒe ŋkɔ nyui la ta. Ŋdi dzidzɔ xɔ zã vevesesewo teƒe Míafe dzodzo kple vɔvɔ̃ atrɔ keŋ.

English

These, though we bring them in trembling and fearfulness, He will accept for the name that is dear; Mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness, Trust for our trembling, and hope for our fear.
