The song is sung straight across, but if read vertically says "Pray, Yevon=Ju. Dream, Fayth. Until eternity, bring glory." in Japanese.

Notes
You can hear nearly a dozen versions of this song in the game, a version for Yunalesca, and even a promotional one of Yuna singing a pop rendition of it.

The Al Bhed tribe sings it as they destroy their own Home, and the Ronso tribe sings it to bless Yuna and her guards on their journey. Aside from that, Tidus hums it in a flashback and Yuna hums it not in the game but in a secret track at Luca Theatre.

It was composed and written by Nobuo Uematsu. He previously used an anagram in FFVIII; Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec = Succession of Witches & Love. For more about him, visit NobuoUematsu.com.
