My life has seen great troubles since my youth
And yet I stand here still as living proof
My back is scarred and furrowed
By the wicked whips and plows
And yet the Lord is righteous even now
And yet the Lord is righteous even now
The Blessing of the Lord be upon you
We bless you in the Name of the Lord
The Blessing of the Lord be upon you
We bless you in the Name of the Lord
Stand strong; God is your shield in the battle
And all who hate him shall be put to shame
They will be like the grass
Grown on a roof that withers fast
The reaper returns home with empty hands
The reaper returns home with empty hands
