(Translation of the original Japanese hymn) When life is fair and sunlight guilds the day, When fortune smiles and flowers adorn our way; Oft let us pause with grateful hearts to say Namo Amida Butsu. Even though our way leads ‘neath a darkened sky, And to our loved ones pain and death draw nigh; Our tears may flow, yet trustingly we cry Namo Amida Butsu”
