Verse 1
Asafon' wɔ fapem k'ro Ɛne Kristo, ne W'ra; Ɔnam nsu ne asɛm so Yɛ N'abɔde fofro; Ofi s'ro bɛhwehwɛɛ no, Yɛɛn' ayef'ro kronkron; Ɔde Ne mogya tɔɔ no, Na ne nkwa nti n'Owui.
Verse 2
Wɔapaw no aman nyinaam', Na ɔyɛ k'ro wiase; Ne nkwagye botae no yɛ 'W'rade k'ro, gyidi k'ro; Din kronkron k'ro na ohy'ra, Odi 'duan kronkron k'ro, Na ɔde 'nidaso k'ro Nante wɔ ɔdom mu.
Verse 3
Sɛ nipa di ne ho fɛw N'ahohia kɛse mu; Sɛ tammfo dw'riw botan a Ɔhome so no mpo` a; Ahotefo de gyidi Su sɛ: 'nkɔsi da bɛn? Ɛrenkyɛ na 'nadwo su Adan 'nɔpa dwonto.

English Lyrics
Verse 1
The church has one foundation 'Tis Jesus Christ her Lord; She is His new creation By water and the Word. From heaven He came and sought her To be His holy bride; With His own blood He bought her, And for her life He died.
Verse 2
Elect from every nation, Yet one o'er all the earth; Her charter of salvation, One Lord, one faith, one birth; One holy name she blesses, Partakes one holy food, And to one hope she presses, With every grace endued.
Verse 3
Though with a scornful wonder Men see her sore oppressed, Though foes would rend asunder, The Rock where she doth rest, Yet saints their faith are keeping; Their cry goes up, “How long?” And soon the night of weeping Shall be the morn of song.
Verse 4
'Mid toil and tribulation, And tumult of her war, She waits the consummation Of peace forevermore; Till with the vision glorious, Her longing eyes are blest, And the great church victorious Shall be the church at rest.
