1. Bugbe Re ti l‘ewa to N‘ile ‘mole at‘ife! ‘Bugbe Re ti l‘ewa to L‘aye ese at‘osi! Okan mi nfa ni toto Fun idapo eeyan ...
N‘ile ‘mole at‘ife!
‘Bugbe Re ti l‘ewa to
L‘aye ese at‘osi!
Okan mi nfa ni toto
Fun idapo eeyan Re
Fun imole oju Re
Fun ekun Re Olorun.
2. Ayo ba awon eye
Ti nfo yi pepe Re ka,
Ayo okan t‘o nsimi
L‘aya Baba l‘o poju,
Gege b‘adaba Noa
Ti ko r‘ibi simi le,
Won pada s‘odo Baba
Won si nyo titi aye.
3. Won ko simi iyin won
Ninu aye osi yi;
Omi sun ni aginju,
Manna nt‘orun wa fun won
Won nlo lat‘ ipa de ‘pa
Titi won fi yo si O;
Won si wole l‘ese Re
T‘o mu won la ewu ja.
4. Baba, je ki njere be;
S‘amona mi l‘aye yi;
F‘ore-ofe pa mi mo;
Fun mi l‘aye l‘odo Re;
Iwo l‘orun, at‘asa;
To okan isina mi,
Iwo l‘orisun ore,
Ro ojo Re s‘ori mi.
Amin.
1. Pleasant are Thy courts above,
In the land of light and love;
Pleasant are Thy courts below,
In this land of sin and woe,
O my spirit longs and faints;
For the converse of Thy saints
For thy brightness of Thy face,
For Thy fullness, God of grace!
2. Happy birds that sing and fly
Round Thy altars, O most High
Happier souls that find a rest
In a heavenly Father's breast!
Like wandering dove that found
No repose on earth around,
They can to their ark repair,
And enjoy it ever there.
3. Happy souls! Their praises flow
In this vale of sin and owe;
Waters in the desert rise,
Manna feeds them from the skies,
On they go from strength to strength,
Till they reach Thy throne at length;
At Thy feet adoring fall
Who hast led them safe through all
4. Lord, be mine this prize to win
Guide me through a world of sin;
Keep me by Thy saving grace;
Give me at Thy side a place,
Sun and shield alike Thou art;
Guide and guard my erring heart:
Grace and glory flow from Thee;
Shower, O shower them, Lord on me!
