1 O Frym’ e jetës, ti përshkona
Na mbush me jetë dhe fuqi.
O eja, Frymë, dhe pastrona,
Për këtë orë pajisna ti.

2 Fryj, Erë e Zotit, dhe mësona,
Dob’sitë tona t’i kuptojmë;
Dhe në but’si, Zot, rikrijona.
Ringjallna sot. Këtë kërkojmë.

3 Mbushna vullnetin, zemrën, mendjen,
Me frym’ të re të dashurisë.
Gjith’ ne ripërtërijna brenda.
Ringjall çdo pjesë të bashkësisë.

4 Po, Zot, u thye zemra jote,
Që t’gjejm’ ne paqe dhe fuqi.
Midis stuhive të k’saj bote
Jep forcë, durim dhe shpresë ti.

5 Ringjallna, Zot, se ësht’ e bardhe
Fusha e pjekur për shpëtim.
Pajisna për k’të punë të madhe,
Njer’zit t’i çojmë, tek ti të vijnë.
