English translation

1. First the voice said, Let there be light. And there were lights in the sky; He placed them at the will of the Lord, to divide day and night. (bis)

2. Every day is not yet born, And the moon is not yet born. We just say that the day is better than the day of the world , And shines even in the night of the heart. (bis)

3. Among us and to those who are far away, to all the ends of the earth The Word brings people out of paganism Come, you who are not cast far away The spirit of the potter roams the deep. (bis)

4 A man has not yet risen to life, has not yet come out of the dust of death, He raises his hands to Jesus With determination, with will, with prayer.

5. May the work of the king be far-reaching, In all the nations under the sun, And the seas, and the lands. Let them hear him, and bow down to him . May the work of the creator be accomplished. (bis)
