lyrics

ONISEGUN nla wa nihin,
Jesu A-bani-daro;
Ọrọ rẹ mu ni l'ara ya,
A gbọ ohun ti Jesu.

CHORUS:
Iro didun l'orin Séráfù
Orukọ didun l'ẹnu eniyan,
Orin ti o dun julọ,
Ni Jesu! Jesu! Jesu!

Orukọ Rẹ le ẹru mi,
Orukọ Jesu nikan!
B'ọkan mi ti fẹ lati gbọ,
Orukọ Rẹ 'yebiye.

Ọmọde at'agbalagba,
T'o fẹ orukọ Jesu,
Le gba ipe ore-ọfẹ,
Lati sisẹ fun Jesu.

CHORUS:
Iro didun l'orin Séráfù
Orukọ didun l'ẹnu eniyan,
Orin ti o dun julọ,
Ni Jesu! Jesu! Jesu!

Nigba t'a ba si de ọrun,
Ti a ba si ri Jesu,
A o kọrin y'itẹ Rẹ ka,
Orin Orukọ Jesu.

CHORUS:
Iro didun l'orin Séráfù
Orukọ didun l'ẹnu eniyan,
Orin ti o dun julọ,
Ni Jesu! Jesu! Jesu!

Christ-follower. Proudly Nigerian.

"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
