Olorun Awa Fe / We Love The Place, O God

-
Olorun awa fe,
Ile t' ola Re wa;
Ayo ibugbe Re
Ju gbogbo ayo lo.

Ile adura ni,
Fun awon omo Re
Jesu si wa nibe,
Lati gbo ebe won.

Awa fe ase Re,
Ti nte okan l' orun
Iwo l' onje iye,
Ti onigbagbo nje.

Awa fe oro Re,
Oro alafia
T' itunu at 'iye
Oro ayo titi.

Awa fe orin Re,
Ti a nko l' aiye yi;
Sugbon awa fe mo,
Orin ayo t' orun.

Jesu Oluwa wa,
Busi 'fe wa nihin;
Mu wa de 'nu ogo,
Lati yin O titi.

Source: Yoruba Baptist Hymnal #42		 We love the place, O God,
in which your honour dwells:
the joy of your abode,
all earthly joy excels.

We love the house of prayer:
for where Christ's people meet,
our risen Lord is there
to make our joy complete.

We love the word of life,
the word that tells of peace,
of comfort in the strife
and joys that never cease.

We love the cleansing sign
of life through Christ our Lord,
where with the name divine
we seal the child of God.

We love the holy feast
where, nourished with this food,
by faith we feed on Christ,
his body and his blood.

We love to sing below
of mercies freely given,
but O, we long to know
the triumph-song of heaven.

Lord Jesus, give us grace
on earth to love you more,
in heaven to see your face
and with your saints adore.
