Jesus Lord, how joyful you have made us 
to come together here with you now! 
In your mercy you have called us. 
You say, "I am the way." We hear you call us. 
We ask you, "Come lead us day by day." We follow your way.

                        Je-sus A, Na-he-to-tae-ta-no-me
                        tseh-ma-no'-ee'-to-va-tse-me-no-to,
                        tse-'o-noo-me-me-no-to.
                        "Na-nee-hoo-ve  me-o-'o,"  tsex-he-se-me-no-to.
                        Neh-pa-ve-a-me-otse-se-me-no  ne-me-o-ne-va!
