Gbo 'Gbe Ayo/Hark the Glad Sound

-
Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751
Gbo 'gbe ayo! Oluwa de,
Jesu t' a seleri;
Ki gbogbo okan mura de,
K' ohun mura ko ' rin

O de lati t' onde sile,
L' oko eru Esu;
'Lekun 'de fo niwaju Re,
Sekeseke 'rin da.

O delarin 'baje aiye
Lati tan 'mole Re,
Lati fun awon afoju
N' iriran f' oju  won.

O de! 'Tinu f' okan 'rora,
Iwosan f' agbogbe;
O de pel' opo 'sura Re
Fun awon talaka.

Hosanna wa, Oba 'lafia
Ao kede bibo Re;
Gbogbo orun y'o ma korin
Oruko t' a feran.

 Hark the glad sound! The Savior comes,
The Savior promised long;
Let every heart prepare a throne
And every voice a song.

He comes the prisoners to release,
In Satan's bondage held.
The gates of brass before Him burst,
The iron fetters yield. 

He comes from thickest films of vice
To clear the mental ray
And on the eyeballs of the blind
To pour celestial day. 

He comes the broken heart to bind,
The bleeding soul to cure,
And with the treasures of His grace
To enrich the humble poor.

Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace,
Thy welcome shall proclaim
And heaven's eternal arches ring
With Thy beloved name.

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...
