Yah ribbon D¨i Sovereign of the world, and timeless master, You rule above all rulers we obey. Many deeds of Your might, and Your wonders, My praise I bring You, morning and evening, God who makes all of Your creation live; holy messengers, each human being, beasts and birds their form You give. Sovereign of the world ... Numberless and powerful are Your actions. The proud You teach humility, the weak You raise. If our years would be a thousand we could not express Your praise. Sovereign of the world ... it delights You to display. Sovereign of the world ...
