Okan Mi Sunmo 'Te Anu / Approach, My Throne, The Mercy Seat

-

Author:John Newton

Okan mi, sunmo 'te anu,
Nibi Jesu ngb' ebe,
F' irele wole l' ese Re,
'Wo ko le gbe nibe.

Ileri Re ni ebe mi,
Eyi ni mo mu wa;
Iwo npe okan t' eru npa,
Bi emi, Oluwa.

Eru ese wo mi l' orun,
Esu nse mi n' ise;
Ogun l' ode, eru ninu,
Mo wa isimi mi.

Se Apata at' Asa mi,
Ki nfi O se abo;
Ki ndoju ti Olufisun,
Ki nso pe Kristi ku.

Ife iyanu! Iwo ku,
Iwo ru itiju;
Ki elese b' iru emi,
Le be l' oruko Re.

Approach, my soul, the mercy seat
where Jesus answers prayer;
there humbly fall before his feet,
for none can perish there.

Thy promise is my only plea;
with this I venture nigh:
thou callest burdened souls to thee,
and such, O Lord, am I.

Bowed down beneath a load of sin,
by Satan sorely pressed,
by war without and fears within,
I come to thee for rest.

Be thou my shield and hiding place,
that, sheltered near thy side,
I may my fierce accuser face,
and tell him thou hast died.

O wondrous love! to bleed and die,
to bear the cross and shame,
that guilty sinners, such as I,
might plead thy gracious name!

    Ayobami, thank you for this great blog post. I've found answers to some of my searches through your blog. Keep it up.

    I will, however, appreciate if you can put me through on how to get a blog running and get search engines to lead people to my blog.

    Thanks once again.
