Ako'y nakipagbaka, natapos ang aking takbo, Aakyat sa l'walhati, pag-asa ko; Iningatan ko ang pananampalatayang ito, Kaharia'y premyo ko.

Paa at kamay nangalay sa baku-bakong daan, T'wing ang baya'y maisip, lumalakas; Kahit may luha ang mata, puso'y para sa bayan, Pupuntahang pangwakas.

Ang takbo'y may layunin, di sumusuntok sa hangin, Sa pinakamabuti'y magtumulin; Nilimot nasa lik'ran, hinaharap tutunguhin, Gantimpala'y kakamtin.
Chorus
Dakilang pag-ibig at biyaya ng Panginoon, Manahan sa Bagong Herusalem; Umaawit at nangagalak mga banal doon Sa Bagong Herusalem.
