Egbe
Wo, k‘o ye, Arakunrin,
Wo Jesu ki o si ye,
A ko s‘inu Oro Re, Aleluya!
P‘eni t‘o ba wo Jesu y‘o ye.


A ran mi n‘ise ife, Aleluya! 
N o j‘isena fun o ore mi;

Sodo Jesu to so mi dotun
Mo gbagbo n'nu oruko Re, Aleluya!
Mo gbekele O si gb'okan mi.

Verse 4 translated by Ayobami Temitope Kehinde, October 23, 2018		I’ve a message from the Lord, hallelujah!
This message unto you I’ll give,
’Tis recorded in His word, hallelujah!
It is only that you “look and live.”

Refrain:

"Look and live", my brother live
Look to Jesus now, and live;
’Tis recorded in His word, hallelujah!
It is only that you “look and live.”

I’ve a message full of love, hallelujah!
A message, O my friend, for you,
’Tis a message from above, hallelujah!
Jesus said it, and I know ’tis true. [Refrain]

Life is offered unto you, hallelujah!
Eternal life thy soul shall have,
If you’ll only look to Him, hallelujah!
Look to Jesus who alone can save. [Refrain]

I will tell you how I came, hallelujah!
To Jesus when He made me whole—
’Twas believing on His name, hallelujah!
I trusted and He saved my soul. [Refrain]

William A. Ogden, 1841-1897 Born: October 10, 1841, Franklin County, Ohio. Died: October 14, 1897, Toledo, Ohio. When Ogden was six years old, his family moved to Indiana. He began studying music in local singing schools at age 8, and could read church music fairly well by age 10. A little later, he could write a melody by hearing it sung or played. When he was 18, he became a chorister in his home church. At the outbreak of the American civil war, Ogden enlisted in the 30th Indiana Volunteer Infantry. During the war he organized a male choir, which became well known throughout the Army of the Cumberland. Read more here.
