Translation of the Haitian Creole text:
God Be With You
God is with us,
God is among us,
God is in the depths of our hearts,
Amen, Alleluia.
For a very long time
We’ve been searching, seeking, asking:
When will the light come, at last, to deliver us?
The light of peace,
The light of truth,
The light of joy,
The light of hope,
The light of love,
The light of life.
Today, let us sing:
“Dominus vobiscum”
God is with us,
God is among us,
God is in the depths of our hearts,
Amen, Amen, Alleluia.
Search, seek, ask…
God is among us.
Search, seek, ask…
God is in the depths of our hearts.
“Dominus Vobiscum,” by Sydney Guillaume
