IGBAGBO MI DURO LORI

By Edward Mote
Igbagbo mi duro lori
Eje atododo Jesu
N'ko je gbekele ohun kan
Leyin oruko nla Jesu
Mo duro le Krist' apata
Ile miran, iyanrin ni

B'ire ije mi tile gun
Ore-ofe Re ko yi pada
Bo ti wu k'iji na le to
Idakoro mi ko ni ye
Mo duro le Krist' apata
Ile miran iyanrin ni

Majemu ati eje Re
L'emi o ro mo b'ikunmi de
Gbati ohun aye bo tan
O je ireti nla fun mi
Mo duro le Krist' apata
Ile miran iyanrin ni

Gbat'ipe kehin ba si dun
A! m ba le wa lodo Jesu
Ki nwo ododo Re nikan
Ki n duro niwaju ite
Mo duro le Krist' apata
Ile miran iyanrin ni
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteous;
No merit of my own I claim
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness veils his lovely face,
I ret on his unchanging grace;
In every high and story gale
My anchor holds within the veil.
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

His oath, his covenant, his blood
Sustain me in the raging flood;
When all supports are washed away,
He then is all my hope and stay.
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

When he shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in him be found,
Clothed in his righteousness alone,
Redeemed to stand before the throne!
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.



Edward Mote was a pastor and hymn writer. Born in London on 21 January 1797, his parents managed a pub and often left Edward to his own devices playing in the street.[1] Speaking of these childhood years he once said, "So ignorant was I that I did not know that there was a God."[2]He was finally exposed to the Christian gospel and was baptized the age of 18. He was trained as a cabinet maker and worked in London for 37 years. Only in his 50's did he enter the ministry and was pastor at Rehoboth Baptist Church in Horsham, West Sussex for 26 years.[3] He was well liked by the congregation in Horsham and they offered him the church building as a gift. Mote replied "I do not want the chapel, I only want the pulpit; and when I cease to preach Christ, then turn me out of that." He died on 13 November 1874 and is buried in the church yard at Rehoboth Church.

  20. This song is a mystery, the holy spirit gave it to me, but Dropped me only one line in Yoruba Language, and asked me to sing for 7 days.
    I searched for it, on Google and find it both English and Yoruba Language "Hallelujah".

    Since then, whatever any situation around me, once I started singing this song, my faith in Lord Jesus Christ grown strong and stronger.

    This song, always give me peace within me and all storm silent, I will continue to praise God with this song.

    I am so so greatful and Thank God for His goodness.

    God bless you for obeying and accomplished Almighty God Work.

  22. Hi Admin.. this is an excellent work. You cannot imagine how blessed i feel singing this Yoruba Hymns which connect me back to my root. I gather my kids and try to teach them though difficult but we are trying. Its a life long Legacy you are putting up online to ensure the Yoruba culture do not die. If there are no sites like this, extinction is imminent so a BIG Thank you.

    To make this dream transcend you, i suggest you setup a donate button that visitors can also use to donate to support the work. No matter how little am sure it will go a long way to support this good work.

    Good job!
