Gbogbo Aye, Gbe Jesu Ga

Author: Edward Perronet

Gbogbo aye, gbe Jesu ga,
Angeli', e wole fun:
E mu ade Oba Re wa,
Se l'Oba awon oba.

E se l'Oba, eyin Martir'
Ti n kepe n' ite Re;
Gbe gbongbo-igi Jesse ga,
Se l' Oba awon oba.

Enyin iru-omo Israel',
Ti a ti rapada;
E ki Enit' o gba nyin la.
Se l' Oba awon oba.

Gbogbo enia elese,
Ranti 'banuje nyin;
E te 'kogun nyin s' ese Re,
Se l' Oba awon oba.

Ki gbogbo orile-ede,
Ni gbogbo agbaiye;
Ki nwon ki "Kabiyesi,"
Se l' Oba awon oba.

A ba le pel' awon t' orun,
Lati ma juba Re;
K' a ba le jo jumo korin,
Se l' Oba awon oba.

All hail the power of Jesus' name!
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all. 

Crown him, ye martyrs of your God, 
who from his altar call; 
Extol the Stem of Jesse's Rod, 
and crown him Lord of all. 

Ye chosen seed of Israel's race,
Ye ransomed from the Fall,
Hail Him who saves you by His grace,
And crown Him Lord of all.

Sinners, whose love can ne'er forget
The wormwood and the gall,
Go spread your trophies at His feet,
And crown Him Lord of all.

Let every kindred, every tribe
On this terrestrial ball,
To Him all majesty ascribe,
And crown Him Lord of all.

O that with yonder sacred throng
We at His feet may fall!
We'll join the everlasting song,
And crown Him Lord of all.
