(Salamat Nang Walang Hanggan)
(English Translation)
By Bienvenido Lumbera
Oh, what an immense grace is this
that in every moment of our trial and darkness,
we discover the light that saves.
Oh, what a boundless mercy this
that each tear we shed on our lonely way,
turns to a pearl that gleams in the sun.
Oh, what an endless thankfulness this
that for every sorrow we bear in this life,
we receive solace that knows no end.
Let us, therefore, in every step we take,
offer an unending thanks,
to the grace that guides us,
to the mercy that sustains us,
to the thankfulness that gives us life.
Oh, what an immense grace is this,
oh, what a boundless mercy this,
oh, what an endless thankfulness this!
Let us, therefore, sing an unending hymn,
a song of praise to the divine,
who in every moment of our lives,
shows us the light,
keeps us in hope,
and fills our hearts with love.
Oh, what an immense grace is this,
oh, what a boundless mercy this,
oh, what an endless thankfulness this!
