Author: James Montgomery Wa s'adura ooro, Kunle k'a gbadura; Adura ni opa Kristiani, Lati b'Olorun rin. Losan, wole labe, Apat' ayeraye; Itura ojiji Re dun, Nigba t'orun ba mu. Jẹ ki gbogbo ile, Wa gbadura l'ale; Ki ile wa di t'Olorun, Ati 'bode orun.   Nigbat' od'oganjo, Je k'a wi l'emi, pe, Mo sun, sugbon okan mi ji Lati ba O sona. Come to the morning prayer, Come let us kneel and pray; Prayer is the Christian pilgrim's staff To walk with God all day. At noon, beneath the Rock Of Ages, rest and pray; Sweet is that shadow from the heat, When the sun smites by day. At eve, shut to the door, Round the home-altar pray, And finding there "the House of God," At "heaven's gate" close the day. When midnight seals our eyes, Let each in spirit say, "I sleep, but my heart waketh, Lord, With Thee to watch and pray."

Words: Edward Henry Bickersteth, 1881 Baba mi gbo temi 'Wo ni Alabo mi, Ma sunmo mi titi; Oninure julo! Jesu Oluwa mi, Iye at'ogo mi, K'igba naa yara de, Ti n o de odo Re. Olutunu julo, 'Wo ti n gbe inu mi, 'Wo to mo aini mi, Fa mi, k'o si gba mi. Mimo, mimo, mimo, Ma fi mi sile lai, Se mi n'ibugbe Re, Tire nikan lailai. Holy Father, hear me; thou art my defender, be thou ever near me, loving, true and tender. Jesus, blessèd Savior, Lord of life and glory, grant me now thy favour as I kneel before thee. Comforter benignest, who abiding in me all my need divinest, move me, draw me, win me. Holy, holy, holy, come, and leave me never, thine abode most lowly, only thine for ever.
