I will extol thee O Adoni I Jah Ras Tafari for you are worthy to be praised!
Weeping may tarry for the night
But joy comes with the morning
His favor is for a lifetime
You have turned for me
My mourning into dancing by loosening
The heavy load of my sack clothing
And have clothed me with gladness;
That my glory may sing Jah yehuda and not be silent
O Adoni I Jah I will
Give thanks to your name forever!
Give thanks to your name forever!
Give thanks to your name!
Weeping may tarry for the night
But joy comes with the morning
His favor is for a lifetime
His anger but for a moment
Weeping may tarry for the night
But joy comes with the morning
His favor is for a lifetime
His anger but for a moment
His anger but for a moment
What profit is there in my death?
If I go down to the pit
Tell me, will the dust praise thee
And tell of your faithfulness?
What profit is there in my death?
If I go down to the pit
Tell me, will the dust praise thee
And tell of your faithfulness?
Weeping may tarry for the night
But joy comes with the morning
His favor is for a lifetime
His anger but for a moment
Weeping may tarry for the night
But joy comes with morning
His favor for a lifetime
Oh Haile I
Oh Haile I Selassie I, Jah
You have turned for me
My mourning into dancing by loosening
The heavy load of my sack clothing
And have clothed me with gladness;
That my glory may sing Jah yehuda and not be silent
O Adoni I Jah I will
Give thanks to your name
Weeping may tarry for the night
But joy comes with the morning
His favor is for a lifetime
His anger but for a moment
Weeping may tarry for the night
But joy come
His favor is for a lifetime
