O Lord our God we exalt (Yehowa yeyi w'aye)
(Refrain)
O Lord, our God, we exalt
and magnify your name;
your greatness we proclaim,
Amen! Alleluya!
In this world our hearts will sing
to your holy name our praise;
till the ending of our days,
Amen! Alleluya!
O Lord, our God ...
Every knee will bend in awe,
every tongue confess your worth;
so, until we leave this earth
Amen! Alleluya!
