Opening Song – Sa Hapag ng Panginoon

Sa hapag ng panginoon Upang pagsaluhan ang kaligtasan

Buong bayan ngayo'y nagtitipon Handog ng Diyos sa tanan
Upang pagsaluhan ang kaligtasan
Handog ng Diyos sa tanan Ang mga dakila't dukha
Ang banal at makasalanan
Sa panahong tigang ang lupa Ang bulag at lumpo ang api at sugatan
Sa panahong ang ani sagana Ang lahat ay inaanyayahan
Sa panahon ng digmaan at kaguluhan
Sa panahon ng kapayapaan Sa hapag ng panginoon
Buong bayan ngayo'y nagtitipon
Sa hapag ng panginoon Upang pagsaluhan ang kaligtasan
Buong bayan ngayo'y nagtitipon Handog ng Diyos sa tanan
