about

One of my all time favorite hymns, first single off of the album "Orin Adura" the LP, Volume 1.

"Ẹ Jẹka Jumo F'ọpẹ F'Ọlorun" (Let Us Give Thanks, Together) is a classic Yoruba hymn. The melody is enticing and the truths of God's greatness, timeless. If you listen to this song, you will sing it over and over again. <----This is my aim. The glory of God on the lips and every man and woman. Additionally, you will dance. :)

lyrics

Ẹ Jẹ ka jumọ f'ọpẹ f'Ọlọrun
Orin iyin, at'ọpẹ lo yẹ wa
Iyanu n'ifẹ Rẹ si gbogbo wa
Ẹ kọrin 'yin s'Ọba Olore wa

Let us give thanks, together to our God
Songs of praise and thanks we will give
Wonderful in His love unto us all
Sing praises to our benevolent God

Chorus:
Halleluyah! Ogo ni fun Baba
A f'ijo ilu yin Ọlọrun wa
Alaye ni o yin Ọ bo ti yẹ
Halleluyah! Ogo ni fun Baba

Hallelujah! Glory be to our God
We’ll with music and dance praise our Lord
Only the living can worship in truth
Hallelujah! Glory be to our God

Ki l'a fi san j'awọn t'iku ti pa?
Iwọ lo f'ọwọ wọ wa di oni
'Wọ lo n sọ wa to n gba wa lọw'ewu
Ẹ kọrin 'yin s'Olutọju wa

How are we better than those who are dead?
You have showed us kindness even today
You protect us and save us from danger
Sing praises to Him cares for us

Ohun wa ko dun to lati kọrin
Ẹnu wa ko gboro to fun ọpẹ
B'awa n'ẹgbẹrun ahọn nikọkan
Wọn kere ju lati gb'ọla Rẹ ga

Our voices are not sweet enough to sing
Our mouths not able to declare Your true praise
O for a thousand tongues to sing
It wouldn’t be enough to tell of Your worth o King!

The reason why I do hymns? Because the 7 year-old and the 70 year-old alike will sing them. Additionally, they are sound doctrine and theology placed to anointed melodies that have stood the test of time! ... more
