by: Pinehills

Hi-gatayon aagin wadan haya We who are gathered here today
Nemnemen tayo ay hiyaya agi tayo Let us remember that this our brethren
Illan APO DIYOH annan law i biyag to The LORD has taken back his Life
Ta hi APO DIYOH namohot ni biyag tayo. For it is the LORD who (lit. holds) our life

Isunga ag kiho koma law mallinggayoh So may we not be grieved
Ta hay inhel to diman od ngihmon hapit to For He said in His words
Hakey alin eggew at mambiyag kiho mowan That One day we will resurrect
Ingah toy nambiyagan, Apo tayon Jesu-Cristo Like Jesus Christ our Lord

Papigsam i nemnem mi APO ni DIYOH mi Give us courage o LORD
Nihayan timpon mi kapallinggayohi At this time of our grief
Hota hemek mo iha-nib mon hi-gami Cover us with your love
Ta Hi-gam ni aboh i papigsan hi-gami For our strength is in You only

O Apo Diyoh biyag min hi-gamin too O Lord the life of us human
Amtam dadango hota pamelpegan to You have known it’s end
Pambiyagan mi binibilang mon dagoh Our life you have already counted
At gandat matongpal nonta kuston timpo. And surely it will come to pass at the right time
