Covenant of Mercy

For Covenant of Mercy patiently I waited

I was consoled all my sorrows faded

Mother of God our Lady Mary

For all my days bestow grace upon me 

Dej tenahu qoyiche Kidane Mehretin

Tetsnanahugn resahu hazenen

Yamlak enat Emebetachin

Moges hugnign qeriw zemenen

The times of misery, with ease I left behind

Drawing nearer to you, redemption of mankind

The grace of your Child and your benevolence

Protected your servant from a worrisome death

My mother, as I called your name

All of my torments I overcame

In front of, you tears fell down my face

You dried them, for I’m in your embrace

Peace be unto you

For Covenant of Mercy patiently I waited

I was consoled all my sorrows faded

Mother of God our Lady Mary

For all my days bestow grace upon me 

My heart grew firm by you and it became lifted

Upon my enemies, my mouth spoke convicted

By your healing wonders, your servant is happy

Your child has broken arrows of the mighty

My mother, as I called your name

All of my torments I overcame

In front of, you tears fell down my face

You dried them, for I’m in your embrace

Peace be unto you

For Covenant of Mercy patiently I waited

I was consoled all my sorrows faded

Mother of God our Lady Mary

For all my days bestow grace upon me 

My loved ones fled when my hands weren’t full and sufficed

When they tried to divide with their cursed advice

I told them that He had taken what He first gave

But I have my Lady, they were quickly ashamed

My mother, as I called your name

All of my torments I overcame

In front of, you tears fell down my face

You dried them, for I’m in your embrace

Peace be unto you

For Covenant of Mercy patiently I waited

I was consoled all my sorrows faded

Mother of God our Lady Mary

For all my days bestow grace upon me 

As I stood on the stage, calling her name to praise

With gentle compassion, towards me she had gazed

No one mirrors your rare and unique thoughtfulness

Through you Mother Mary, I found my true solace

Enate simshin sitera

Alefe ya hulu mekera

Enbaye kefitish fesese

Emiye banchi yetabese

Selam leki

Dej tenahu qoyiche Kidane Mehretin

Tetsnanahugn resahu hazenen

Yamlak enat Emebetachin

Moges hugnign qeriw zemenen

For Covenant of Mercy patiently I waited

I was consoled all my sorrows faded

Mother of God our Lady Mary

For all my days bestow grace upon me
