O believe that God gives you
All that he promises,
A Saviour who forgives you,
A perfect Saviour,
A Saviour full of power
On the earth and in the heavens,
A Saviour whose presence
Alone makes happy.

This Saviour will make you live
As he has lived,
You will be able to follow him everywhere
Without being conquered.
Right to the end, in the conflict,
His arm will protect you
And in the dark valley
He will lead you.
