I do this with Spanish lyrics from the Christian Science Hymnal (hymn #7), just to mix things up a bit:
La luz del día aquí conmigo está
Desaparece ya la oscuridad
Tú das la fuerza y la libertad
Siempre contigo viviré, Verdad
No temo si te siento junto a mí
Triunfante soy del mal y la inquietud
Pues quien confiadamente vive en Ti
Tiene amor, bondad, valor, salud
Poder y paz encuentro en Ti, Señor
Viviendo en Ti no pido nada más
Y nada temeré, divino Amor
Pues, sé que Tú conmigo siempre estás
I'm posting a song a day from the Rise Up Singing songbook, which you may or may not know. It's a pretty invaluable resource for song leaders, and useful for anyone who likes to sing in groups. The book doesn't include the melodies to the songs, just the lyrics and some chords, so I’m trying hard to find the tunes I don’t know, learn them, and post them on YouTube for anyone to learn. That’s where these videos are hosted; the blog is just pretty packaging.
