Hymn
By Lee and Frost
Ak-ah eg-lah-lam en-si-kah1.
Mi-kah Ish-tam-ah em-e-hol-ew
Kup-et mi-kam toke-ta mi-mah
Mi-kah ek-ah-tlah gum-ohah
Mi-kah dow-ah gum-e oh
Kom-a-wa e-toke-ta ten-mah
Mi-kah an-kut-e gum-toh.
Here we now unite in singing
Glory, Lord, unto thy name,
Only good and worthy praising,
Thou art always, Lord, the same.
Of the sun thou art Creator,
And the light was made by thee,
All things good, yea, every creature,
At the first thou madest to be.
