Ay-e-kwus kut-whaylum taswas lalam
Kwul-awtul ay-e skwi-la-wal,

Owe-awts staa tomuk ay-e mestayokh.

ENGLISH
1 All people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice;
Him serve with mirth, his praise forth tell,
Come ye before him, and rejoice.
2 Know that the Lord is God indeed,
Without our aid he did us make;
We are his flock, he doth us feed,
And for his sheep he doth us take.

O Tchee-tchilth-See-am, talowa lay Mal,

O Tchee-tchilth-See-am, talowa lay Mal,
Lo hayluk tal skwilawal whulam talowa;
Ay-e-ilth tatsel ta Jesus, whimay tila tumokh,
Lam kulstokh tal skwilawal whulam ta ay-e se-ize.
C.M.T.
ENGLISH
How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in his excellent word!
What more can he say, than to you he hath said,
To you, who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
"Fear not, I am with thee; oh, be not dismayed!
For I am thy God, I will still give thee aid;
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by my gracious, omnipotent hand.
"When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
For I will be with thee thy trials to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress."

ENGLISH
There is a happy land,
Far, far away;
Where the bright angels stand,
Bright, bright as day.
There, we will always sing,
Glory to our Savior, King,
Loud let his praises ring,
Praise, praise for aye.
