Ose, Ose Rere

Ose, ose rere, Iwo ojo 'simi; O ye k' a fi ojo kan, Fun Olorun rere; B' ojo mi tile m' ekun wa, Iwo n' oju wa nu; Iwo ti s' ojo ayo, Emi fe dide re. Ose, ose rere, A k'yo sise loni; A o f' ise wa gbogbo Fun aisimi ola, Didan l' oju re ma dan, 'Wo arewa ojo; Ojo mi nso ti lala, Iwo nso t' isimi. Ose, ose rere, Ago tile nwipe, F' Eleda re l' ojo kan, T' O fun O ni mefa; A o f' ise wa sile, Lati lo sin nibe, Awa ati ore wa, Ao los' ile adua. Ose, ose rere, Wakati re wu mi; Ojo orun n' iwo se, 'Wo apere orun, Oluwa je ki njogun 'Simi lehin iku, Ki nle ma sin O titi, Pelu enia Re. Source: Yoruba Baptist Hymnal #37

Hallowed Day and Holy Thou holy day of rest We ought to give one full day To God, the good and kind Other days bring the tear drops Thou wipes the tears away Thou art a day of gladness I love thy happy morn. Hallowed Day and Holy There is no work today We will suspend our labour Until tomorrow's day How beautiful and how bright Thou blessed day of rest Other days speak of troubles But thou give hope of rest. Hallowed Day and Holy Hear how the church bell says Give one day to thy Maker Who gave to you six days. We shall take leave of labour To go and worship there Both we and all our dear friends On to the house of prayer. Hallowed Day and Holy Thy hour delight me so A taste of heaven you give us Like that eternal rest Lord, let me be partaker Of rest beyond the grave To sing and serve thee ever With all thy saints above.
