These are the lyrics how I translated them in November and December of 2015, when I acted as translator, transliterator, and Amharic speech coach to Ms. Lauryn Hill (baptized EOTC, amongst some luminaries as Bob Marley and Nina Simone). She wanted to render O Come All Ye Faithful from English into Amharic.
