lyrics

Oh Saláanaa díi ḵulaa,
Oh Lord my God

Gin an ḵ'aldangáa uu hl ḵínggang,
When I in awesome wonder

Gin 'wáadluwaan stlaang eihl dang tlaahláayaan
Consider all the worlds your hands have made


K'ayhlt'gaay uu ḵinggang
I see the stars


Yíilangaay uu hl gudanggáng
I hear the rolling thunder


Dang dagwíigaay hlan gwaay únngkw daangáa hl ḵinggang.
Your power throughout the universe displayed.

(Chorus)
'Wáagyaan, díi G̱áahlaandaay!
Then sings my soul!

Saláanaa dang aa hl k’ajúugang
My Savior God to thee

Saa uu dang G̱íidang
How Great Thou Art

Saa uu dang G̱íidang!
How Great Thou Art!

‘Wáagyaan, díi G̱áahlaandaay!
Then sings my soul!

Saláanaa dang aa hl k’ajúugang
May Savior God to thee

Saa uu dang G̱íidang
How Great Thou Art

Saa uu dang G̱íidang!
How Great Thou Art!
