Oluwa Mi Mo N Jade Lo

Charles Wes­ley, Hymns and Sac­red Po­ems, 1749.

OLUWA mi, mo njade lo,
Lati se ise ojo mi;
Iwo nikan l' emi o mo,
L' oro, l' ero ati n' ise.

Ise t' O yan mi l' anu Re
Je ki nle se tayotayo;
Ki nr' oju Re n'nu ise mi,
K' emi si fi ife Re han.

Dabobo mi lowo 'danwo,
K' O pa okan mi mo kuro
Lowo aniyan  aiye yi,
Ati gbogbo ifekufe.

Iwo t'oju Re r' okan mi,
Ma wa lowo otun mi lai,
Ki nma sise lo l' ase Re,
Ki nf' ise mi gbogbo fun O.

Jeki nreru Re t'o fuye,
Ki nma sora nigbagbogbo,
Ki nma f' oju si nkan t' orun,
Ki nsi mura d' ojo ogo.

Ohunkohun t' O fi fun mi,
Jeki nle lo fun ogo Re,
Ki nf' ayo sure ije mi,
Ki mba O rin titi d' orun.

 Forth in Thy Name, O Lord, I go,
My daily labor to pursue;
Thee, only Thee, resolved to know
In all I think or speak or do.

The task Thy wisdom hath assigned,
O let me cheerfully fulfill;
In all my works Thy presence find,
And prove Thy good and perfect will.

Preserve me from my calling’s snare,
And hide my simple heart above,
Above the thorns of choking care,
The gilded baits of worldly love.

Thee may I set at my right hand,
Whose eyes mine inmost substance see,
And labor on at Thy command,
And offer all my works to Thee.

Give me to bear Thy easy yoke,
And every moment watch and pray,
And still to things eternal look,
And hasten to Thy glorious day.

For Thee delightfully employ
Whate’er Thy bounteous grace hath giv’n;
And run my course with even joy,
And closely walk with Thee to Heav’n.

    Thanks so much for sharing this hymn. I used to sing it every morning with my grandma when I was much younger in the 80's. I've been looking for the full lyrics. Now I found it. Thanks!

I’m pressing on the upward way, New heights I’m gaining every day; Still praying as I onward bound, “Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.” Refrain: Lord, lift me up, and let me stand By faith on Canaan’s tableland; A higher plane than I have found, Lord, plant my feet on higher ground. My heart has no desire to stay Where doubts arise and fears dismay; Though some may dwell where these abound, My prayer, my aim, is higher gr...
