Verse 1
Akwaaba, ɔhome da, Wɔde kyɛɛ adasa kwa; Megyew' ɔdwo koma yim' Sɛ hann a efi s'ro hy'rɛn.
Verse 2
Ɔdɛw ne ɔhome da, Wo mmere resen brɛoo yi; Dwudwo yɛn haw ne mmusu, Kosi sɛ yɛn b'rɛ bɛsa.
Verse 3
Da Kronkron, wo bo yɛ den, Ayeyi ne mpaebɔ da; Dá a ɛky'rɛ nkwasea nyansa, Wo nhy'ra dɔɔso dɛn ara!
Verse 4
Akwaaba, ɔhome da, Ɔs'ro tumi kawo ho; Nhyira nka wo mm're kronkron, Mma me komá a ɛretwɛn.
English Lyrics
Verse 1
Welcome, welcome day of rest, To the world in kindness given; Welcome to this humble breast, As the beaming light from heaven.
Verse 2
Day of calm and sweet repose, Gently now thy moments run; Balm to soothe our cares and woes, Till our labor here is done.
Verse 3
Holy day that most we prize, Day of solemn praise and prayer, Day to make the simple wise, O, how great thy blessings are!
Verse 4
Welcome, welcome, day of rest With thy influence all divine; May thy hallowed hours be blessed To this waiting heart of mine.
