KRIST' KI 'JOBA RE DE

-
Words: Lewis Hensley, 1867
Music: St. Cecilia, Kingsland

Krist' ki 'joba Re de,
Ki ase Re bere;
F' opa-rin Re fo
Gbogbo ipa ese.

Ijoba ife da,
Ati t' Alafia?
Gbawo ni irira
Yio tan bi t'orun?

Akoko na ha da,
T' ote yio pari,
Ika at' ireje,
Pelu ifekufe?

Oluwa joo, dide,
Wa n'nu agbara Re;
Fi ayo fun awa
Ti o nsaferi Re

Eda ngan ooko Re,
'Koko nje agbo Re;
Iwa 'tiju pupo
Nfihan pe 'fe tutu.

Ookun bole sibe,
Ni ile keferi:
Dide 'Rawo ooro,
Dide, mase wo mo.
Amin.

Source: Yoruba Baptist Hymnal #149 		English
Thy kingdom come, O God!
Thy rule, O Christ begin!
Break with thine iron rod
the tyrannies of sin!

Where is thy reign of peace,
and purity and love?
When shall all hatred cease,
as in the realms above?

When comes the promised time
that war shall be no more,
oppression, lust, and crime
shall flee thy face before?

We pray thee, Lord, arise,
and come in thy great might;
revive our longing eyes,
which languish for thy sight.

Men scorn thy sacred Name,
and wolves devour thy fold;
by many deeds of shame we
learn that love grows cold.

O'er heathen lands afar thick
darkness broodeth yet: arise, O Morning Star, arise, and never set!


Hensley, Lewis, M.A., born May, 1824, and educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, where in 1846 he graduated as Senior Wrangler, and first Smith's Prizeman. From 1846 to 1852 he was a Fellow and Assistant Tutor of Trinity College. Taking Holy Orders in 1851, he held successively the Curacy of Upton-with-Chalvey, Bucks; the Vicarage of Ippolyts-with-Great-Wymondly, Hertfordshire, and that of Hitchin, in the same county; Rural Dean, 1867. His works include Household Devotions; Shorter Household Devotions, &c. His hymns appeared in his Hymns for the Sundays after Trinity, London, Bell & Daldy, 1864; and Hymns for the Minor Sundays from Advent to Whitsuntide, London, Bell & Daldy, 1867. His Advent hymn, "Thy Kingdom come, O God," is from the latter of these works.

--John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)

    God bless you darling sis. My spirit is highly lifted through your collection of hymns, as I prefer them being sung in Yoruba than English. Do give me a deeper inspiration/ministration.

    Wow, just now this hymn came to my mind. After singing it I decided to Google it (a trial) and it came out.
    Lovely, may God Almighty continues to strengthen and uphold you for this.
    Many of our youths (especially in Churches), and Churches should be thinking along this line, but rather doing otherwise.
    God bless you my Sister.

    I commend your effort for this good work but there's something misleading in the attribution of numbers to the hymns from your source (The Baptist Hymnal). I have two English editions of The Baptist Hymnal (1956 and 1991, plus an Android app of the 1956...), none of which correspond to the numbering here. Pls check that. Thanks.

      I didn't attribute The Baptist Hymnal at all. I referenced the Yoruba Baptist Hymnal for the Yoruba lyrics. Can you please check again?
