Head of the church triumphant
We joyfully adore Thee;
Till Thou appear, Thy members here
Shall sing like those in glory;
We lift our hearts and voices
With bless'd anticipation
And cry aloud, and give to God
The praise of our salvation
Gbe Oluwa ga pelu mi (O Magnify the Lord with me)
Eyin eniyan Re (Ye people of His choice)
Ki gbogbo eda alaye (Let all to whom He lendeth breath)
Ma yo l‘oruko Re (Now in His name rejoice)
Fun ife ti O nfihan (For love's blest revelation)
Fun isimi l‘okan wa (For rest from condemnation)
Fun igbala kikun Re, (For uttermost salvation)
Tire l‘ope (To Him give thanks)
Ki gbogbo wa f'ope fun (Let all …the people praise Thee)
Ki gbogbo wa f'ope fun (Let all …the people praise Thee)
Ki gbogbo wa yin oruko (Let all …the people praise Thee)
Oluwa wa titi laelae, (Let all …the people praise Thy name For ever and for ever more)
Ani, titi laelae (For ever and ever more)
Praise Him, praise Him, Jesus our blessed Redeemer
Sing, O earth, His wonderful; love proclaim
Hail Him! Hail Him! Highest archangels in glory, Strength and honor give to His holy name
Like a shepherd, Jesus will guard His children
In His arms He carries them all day long
O ye saints that dwell on the mountain of Zion
Praise Him! Praise Him! Ever in joyful song
Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!
That calls me from a world of care
And bids me at my Father's throne
Make all my wants and wishes known;
In seasons of distress and grief
My soul has often found relief
And oft escaped the tempter's snare
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer
Oluwa ran mi ni ‘se, Aleluya! (I've a message from the Lord, Hallelujah!)
Iwo ni uno je ise na fun (The message unto you I'll give,)
A ko s‘inu Oro Re, Aleluya! (‘Tis recorded in His Word, Hallelujah!)
P‘eni t‘o ba wo Jesu y‘o ye (It is only that you "look and live")
Wo, k‘o ye, Arakunrin, (Look and live," my brother, live!)
Wo Jesu ki o si ye, (Look to Jesus now and live,)
A ko s‘inu Oro Re, Aleluya! (Tis recorded in His Word, Hallelujah!)
P‘eni t‘o ba wo Jesu y‘o ye. (It is only that you "look and live!)
Krist‘ ki ‘joba Re de, (Thy kingdom come, O God,)
Ki ase Re bere; (Thy rule, O Christ, begin)
F‘opa irin Re fo (Break with Thine iron rod)
Gbogbo ipa ese (The tyrannies of sin)
When we all get to heaven
What a day of rejoicing that will be?
When we all see Jesus
We'll sing and shout the victory
