O ry Ray ô... mba iantrao ireo havanay
1 Ô ry Ray ô... mba iantrao ireo havanay
Voaantsonao hialoha lalana anay
Sy 'zay rehetra nino anao
Tafandry mandry am-piadanana.
Raiso re ho an-dapanao izy ireo,
Mba hidera anao, ry Ray ô;
Ka hanenika azy ilay hazavana,
I Kristy mandrakizay.
2 Hoy i Jesoa... Jesoa Kristy nampianatra anay
Fa ianao anie no Ray be fitia:
Rahefa mody ny zanakao, tsinjovinao ka raisinao.
3 Fa ny ota... ny otanay ve hotananao,
Ka iza moa, ry Ray ô, no ho madio?
Fa ianao e be indrafo, ka iantrao 'reo havanay.
4 Ny finoana... fa ny finoan'ny Eglizinao
Fanantenana ho an'ireo havanay:
Na dia mpanota, nino anao, zanak'ilay
Vahoakanao.
5 Any andro... mbola ho tonga ilay andro iray,
Hangoninao 'zahay hanotrona anao:
Feno haravoana, velona indray,
Tsy hisy very 'reo havanay.
