87. VIN MIN NOKKI KAZHIPAAI (As with gladness men of old)

1.       Vin min nokki kazhlipaai

          Saasthrimaarthaam aavalaai,

          Pinsentraar avvezhliyay

          Munnadathum jothiyay.

          Nesa karthaa, naankazhlum

          Ummai pinselvom enttrum.

2.       Thaazhlvaam kottil nokkiyae

          Makizhlvodu virainthae,

          Vin mannorum vanakkum

          Paatham veezhlnthaar paninthum,

          Manathaara naankazhlum

          Thaedi paatham saeravum.

3.       Munnanaiyin munnathaai

          Pon padaithaar panivaai,

          Padaippomae naakazhlum

          Pon sampathu yaavaiyum

          Thooimai pakkthi poorippai

          Kiristhuvaam vin vaentharkaai.

4.       Thooya yesu nithamum

          Jeeva paathai nadathum;

          Paarin vaazhlkai mudivil

          Aaviyay neer motchathil

          Serppeer, unthan maatchiyae

          Podhum; vaendaam jothiyae.

5.       Ozhlir motcha naatilae

          Vaendaam sishti jothiyae;

          Neerae nithiya sooriyanum

          Jothi inpam kireedamum,

          Vaenthae, entrum pottruvom,

          Alleluia paaduvom.
