Wo Oju Sanma

Wo oju sanma ohun ni, Wo lila orun ooro; Ji loju orun, okan mi, Dide ko si ma sora; Olugbala Tun n pada bo wa saye. Ope ti mo ti n reti Re, L'are lokan mi n duro, Aye ko ni ayo fun mi, Nibi ti ko tan 'mole, Olugbala, 'Gbawo n'Iwo o pada? Igbala mi sunm' etile, Oru fere koja na, Je ki n wa nipo irele, Ki n s'afojusona Re, Olugbala Titi n o fi roju Re. Je ki fitila mi ma jo, Ki n ma sako kiri mo, Ki n sa ma reti abo Re, Lati mu mi lo sile; Olugbala Yara k'O ma bo kankan.

Behold, see yonder horizon Behold the morning sunrise Wake from thy deep sleep, thou my heart Arise and be thou watchful; Blessed Saviour, blessed Saviour Coming again to the earth It's long I've been expecting Thee My weary heart long doth wait The world has no more joy for me, E'er its light has become dark Blessed Saviour, blessed Saviour, When will Thou come back again My salvation doth draw nearer The dark night is almost gone Let me be in humble estate Let me keep watching for Thee, Blessed Saviour, blessed Saviour, Until I, Thy face behold Let my lamp now keep burning That I may not stray again, Just to expect Thy coming back And to take me to Thy home Blessed Saviour, blessed Saviour, I am waiting, quickly come.
