From the mouth of our friends,
That we should gather in Zion
To keep the holy day
2. Its env'rons and the gates l keep
The decorated house
The house that we built for our God
Where His mercy, to show
3. The courtyard of the house of joy
Where holy tribes went forth
On the throne, the son of David
Is judging matter there
4. He hears our praises and our cries
Like His tremendous voice
That separate sinners to his doom
In tremble we rejoice
5. Let Thy blessing be in the place
And joy of often time
Let us give friends, and His goodness
To all that serves Him there.
6. My soul's now pleading for Zion
While l am still alive
There all the relatives and friend
Our Saviour too is there.
Amen.
1. Bi mo ti yo lati gb‘oro
L‘enu awon ore;
Pe, ‘Ni Sion‘ ni k‘a pe si
K‘a p‘ojo mimo mo.
2. Mo f‘ayika at' ita re;
Ile t‘a se loso,
Ile t‘a ko fun Olorun;
Lati fi anu han.
3. S‘agbala ile ayo na,
L‘eya mimo si lo,
Omo Dafid ‘wa lor‘ite,
O nda ejo nibe.
4. O gbo iyin at‘igbe wa;
Bi ohun eru re
Ti nya elese sib‘ egbe,
A nyo ni wariri.
5. K‘ibukun pelu ibe na
Ayo nigbakugba;
K‘a fi ore ati ore,
F‘awon ti nsin nibe
6. Okan mi bebe fun Sion‘
Nigbati emi wa;
Nibe ni ‘batan at‘ore
At‘ Olugbala wa.
AMIN
