1. How great is the honor, Jehovah,

To build you a place for your name!

We offer it now with rejoicing

To add to your glory and fame.

Whatever the things we may give you,

They rightly were yours from the start.

Our labor, our skill, our possessions,

We joyfully give from the heart.

2. And now may we honor you, Father,

By filling this place with your praise.

May glory ascend with the increase

Of those who are learning your ways.

Committing this place to your worship,

We give it our generous care.

And long may it stand as a witness,

Supporting the message we bear.

1. Nọyanmwa ma y’ekhọe hia kpọnmwọ

Y’ẹse hia nu wa ru n’ima!

Ekhọe ọghomwa vuọn n’oghọghọ

N’ima na sẹtin b’owa ruẹ.

Emwi hia n’ima ya ruiyobọ,

Ẹse nọ k’obọ ruẹ rre nọ.

Iwinna ruẹ ma wa muaro yi.

T’ima khian ga ruẹ s’ufomwẹ.

2. Enọyanmwa n’Osa n’oghodua,

Ma wa rhi’uyi vbe ’kpọnmwẹ nuẹ.

Lahọ giowa na gha vuọn ne ’mwa

Ni ga ruẹ vb’od’ọgh’ẹmwata.

T’ima khian gha dọl’owa na yi;

Lahọ rhi’ẹtin vb’ẹrhiọn n’ima.

T’ima khian gha y’ẹmwẹ ruẹ wewe;

Mai khian giegbe wuẹ ma hiehie.
