1. Welcome to all who gather here this day

To hear God’s Word and to learn his way.

Life-giving truth he offers to us all;

With thankfulness of heart, we respond to his call.

2. Thanks to our God for brothers such as these,

Who welcome us and who seek to please.

May we keep holding men of that sort dear,

And now we welcome others who meet with us here.

3. God’s invitation reaches all mankind,

That all sincere ones the truth may find.

God by his Son has drawn us to His side.

So welcome one another with hearts opened wide.

1. Ma wa y’ọyẹnmwẹ gbọbokhian n’uwa.

T’ima rrie ’mwa do g’Osanobua.

Ukpamuyọmọ nọkhua ’na wa khin.

Ma y’ekhọe hia khuẹnniẹ y’itie ọgh’Osa mwa.

2. Ma wa kpọnmw’Osa ye ’diọn ni rr’iko,

Ni gbọbokhian n’ima vb’ẹghẹ hia.

Etẹn vberriọ wa sẹ na rhi’ọghọ na.

Ma gbọbokhian ne ’mwa hia ni do debaima.

3. Osa ne ’rha mwa gie na tie ’mwa hia;

’Rẹn keghi hoo ne ’mwa hia miẹn fan.

’Rẹn mw’ahoẹmwọmwa kevbe ’kh’itohan.

Rhun’d’ọni gima gha gbọbokhian ne ’mwa hia.
