1. Here with us are aged ones,

Those whose youth has passed.

Here among us they endure;

Still they’re holding fast.

Loss of strength besets them all;

Loss of mates for some.

Father, please confirm their faith

In the life to come.

2. Splendid is gray-headedness

Found in ways of right.

Beautiful are faithful ones

In Jehovah’s sight.

May we always recognize

They were once young too.

Loyally they gave their best

When their strength was new.

1. Ma keghi daa n’avbe ’tẹn

Ni wa khiọn maẹn nẹ.

Etẹn na wa ye sun khian;

Gia rhie ’tian n’iran.

Eso vbuw’avbe ’tẹn na

Keghi r’okhiọnkpa.

Osa ne ’rha mwa lahọ

Rhi’ ’giọdu n’iran.

2. Ọ khẹke na gha rhi’uyi

Ne ’tẹn ni fuedẹ.

Jehova keghi ya ’ro

Nọ ghaan ya gh’iran.

Etẹn na ye mwẹ ’yobọ

N’iran ye n’ima.

Ma gha mi’emwiẹwaẹn nibun

Wa ruẹ vb’ob’iran.
