  罪多き 我身我家を赦しませ 大慈大悲の大御心に

May the many sins of myself
And those of my family
Be forgiven by the almighty
Divine heart of great mercy
And great compassion.

    病きの 悩みも今日の喜びに 変わりて嬉し大き恵みに
 2   Happy I am that
Through tremendous
Blessings has changed
From even the suffering of illness
To happiness today. 
S4-95A
         
   

大前に 額く我となりにけり 神に背きし罪を悔みて

 3   Repenting of the sin
Of turning my back on God,
Become one have I
Who prostrates himself
Before Almighty God.
S4-95B
  
   

嬉しさの 湧く喜びを知りにけり 神に額く事を知りてゆ

 4   Come I have to understand
The joy that springs
From happiness,
Learning as I have to
Prostrate myself before God.
S4-95C 
   
   

淋しさも 忘らへにけり霊の祖 守りますかも朝な夕なに

 5   Forgotten is the
Loneliness; protecting
Me day and night are
The spirits of
My predecessors.
S4-95D
   
   

小さなる 人の力に頼りける 儚なさ知れり神力知りて

 6   Known is
The power of God
When is understood
The emptiness of relying
On human power.
#6, S4-93C
 
Having known God’s power,
I came to know
How empty is to
Rely on the smallness
Of human power.

小やかな 賤が伏屋も守りませ 大慈大悲の大御光に

 7   In the almighty divine light
Of great mercy
And great compassion,
Please protect this humble,
Wretched hovel that is my home. 
S4-96A
 
   

今日よりは 祝詞の声もいと清く 朝な夕なに拝み奉らん

 8   From today is
Clear and pure my voice
As I recite prayers
At the altar of God
Morning and evening.
