Ko To K' awon Mimo Beru / The Saints Should Never Be Dismayed

-

Ko to k' awon mimo beru,
Ki nwon so 'reti nu;
'Gba nwon ko reti 'ranwo Re,
Olugbala yio de.

Nigbati Abram mu obe,
Olorun ni, "Duro;"
Agbo ti o wa lohun ni
Y'o dipo omo na."

Dafid' dabi eran Soolu;
Sugbon gbo! ota de!
Soolu yi owo re pada
Lati ja fun 'le naa.

Gba Jona ri sinu omi,
Ko ro lati yo mo;
Sugbon Olorun ran eja
T' o gbe lo s' ebute.


B' iru ipa at' ife yi
Ti po l' oro Re to!
Emi ba ma k' aniyan mi
Le Oluwa lowo!

E duro de iranwo Re,
B' o tile pe, duro;
B' ileri na tile fa 'le
Sugbon ko le pe de.

Stanza 3 translated by Ayobami Temitope Kehinde (08/16/2019)


The saints should never be dismayed,
Nor sink in hopeless fear;
For when they least expect His aid,
The Savior will appear.

This Abr’am found: he raised the knife;
God saw, and said, Forbear!
Yon ram shall yield his meaner life;
Behold the victim there.

Once David seemed Saul’s certain prey;
But hark! the foe’s at hand;
Saul turns his arms another way,
To save th’invaded land.

When Jonah sunk beneath the wave,
He thought to rise no more;
But God prepared a fish to save,
And bear him to the shore.

Blest proofs of power and grace divine,
That meet us in His Word!
May every deep felt care of mine
Be trusted with the Lord.

Wait for His seasonable aid,
And though it tarry, wait:
The promise may be long delayed,
But cannot come too late.

    My heart was so heavy because of something l was expecting seems to be delayed. l was so deep in thought and fear stared me in the face, then this hymnal popped up in my mind. Thank you Jesus for l will not be afraid because you will come through for me.

    This hymn dropped in my spirit while praying amidst tears few days back as I have been looking up to God for a divine miracle of healing in the life of my son. I know his Promise never fails.

      God is faithful to His promises. When they seem to delay, it's because He is coming in a big way.

      God will surely come through for you. No good thing will He withhold from those whose ways are blameless. Psalm 84:11

    The first line of this hymn dropped in my spirit as i was pondering with sorrow how perversion has crept into the church and saints are beginning to compromise their faint....Strengthen your Church Lord

    As i was praying this morning, over my children's life, the song dropped in my heart and i keep singing it, along the line, the lord asked me to share it on a platform to encourage someone, i pray it fulfil this purpose in the life of everyone in Jesus name.
