Ma toju mi, Jehofah nla,
Ero l' aiye osi yi,
Emi ko n' okun, iwo ni,
F' ow' agbara di mi mu,
Ounje orun, ounje orun
Ma bo mi titi lailai.
S' ilekun isun ogo ni,
Orisun imarale;
Jeki imole Re orun
Se amona mi jale;
Olugbala, Olugbala

Gba mo ba te eba Jordan'
F'okan eru mi bale
Iwo t' O ti segun iku,
Mu mi gunle Kenaan je;

Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but Thou art mighty,
Hold me with Thy pow’rful hand.
Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven,
Feed me now and evermore
Open now the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing stream doth flow;
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through.
Strong Deliv’rer, strong Deliv’rer,
Be Thou still my Strength and Shield;
When I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside;
Death of death and hell’s Destruction,
Land me safe on Canaan’s side.
Songs of praises, songs of praises,
I will ever give to Thee;

"Let me write the songs of a nation, I care not who writes its laws."
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
