Oh in the large crowd, there is not any place for the Lamb King to dwell;
Aw lungngaihna leh lawmna Kalvari tlang a lo lang e.
Oh the sorrowful and the joyful Calvary mount can be seen.

Aw hnam zawng zawng leh chi tin tawng tin hi,
Oh of all the nations and all the tongues (in the world)
Vanlal nau ang a tahna Kalvari ah an dang chuang lo ve;
No difference is there at Calvary where the King of heaven wept;
An dang chuang love chitin tawngtin hi
Yeah, no differences are there among nations and tongues
Vanlal nau ang a tahna Kalvari ah an dang chu,ang lo ve.
At Calvary where the King of Heaven cried – they have no difference.

Would you ever find one who could speak and tell adequately of His love?

A hmangaihna a ka chawlhin ka Pan min hre tawh,
When I rest in His love my Father already knew me,
A duhzawng ka tih apiangin mal min sawm fo thin;
Whenever I do His will, He always blesses me;
Thahnemngaih nachang ka hriatin ka tan malsawmna,
When I learn how to persevere then it becomes my blessing
Lungngaiha inchhir avangin hmangaihna ka hmu.
As I sorrow over my sin I receive His grace

Even before I became His son, My Father already knew me

When I was in a difficult desert he always protected me;
Tun thleng in min la hruai fova hlauhawm zingah pawh,
Even this day he always leaded me through all sorts of danger,
Lawmtakin keiin ka zui ang Zion tlang thlengin.
So I will follow Him gladly till the mount of Zion.

Offer yourself to praise Him while still here on earth,

Come to him with your load of sin He will relieve you;
I lawmna chu a chuai lovang Lalpa hma ah chuan,
Your joy will never grow old in the presence of the Lord
Lalpa chu fakin lo zai la Zion tlang thlengin.
Come singing praising the Lord till you reach mount Zion.
