Lyrics

Hol hit ott szeretet;

hol szeretet ott béke.

Hol béke ott áldás;

hol áldás ott Isten.

Hol Isten ott szükség nin csen.

Where there is faith there is love;

where there is love there is peace.

Where there is peace there is blessing;

where there is blessing there is God.

Where there is God, there is no need.
