Ma tan lo, 'wo ihinrere, Ma segun lo, ma duro: K' ijoba re aiyeraiye Ma bi si, k' o si ma re; Olugbala Wa, joba gbogbo aiye. |
Millions groping yet in darkness Think, my heart and be thou still! Each of God's own promise tells us Of a glorious happy morn Day of gladness, day of gladness, May that day dawn on me soon Let all India and Africa Men of different tribes and creed Know the great and glorious vict'ry Freely giv'n on Calvary May the Gospel, may the Gospel, Be proclaimed from shore to shore All the kingdoms yet in darkness Send the gospel light to them From the sunrise to the sunset May the light dispel the gloom May Redemption, may Redemption, Freely bestowed have full sway. March on, March on blessed Gospel March on to full victory May Thy everlasting kingdom Multiply and never cease, Blessed Saviour, blessed Saviour, Come and reign all o'er the earth. |
