O Fa Mi Yo Ninu Erofo/He Brought Me Out Of The Miry Clay

-
Yoruba Translator: Ayobami Temitope Kehinde
Okan mi gbogbe labe 'binu  Jehofa,
Ninu ogbun ti ese mi ti mi si;
Mo ke p' Oluwa lati 'nu erofo,
T'O fi 'yonu fa mi yo sojo wura

Egbe:
O fa mi yo ninu erofo
O gbese mi sori apata
O f'orin sin' okan mi loni
Orin iyin, alleluia 

O gbe mi lori Apata egbe Re,
Isise mi mule, n o duro nibi;
Ko sewu isubu 'gba mo wa nihin,
Sugbon n o duro titi n o fi gbade.

O fun mi l'orin, orin   iyin tuntun;
L'owuro, l'ale n o maa koo titi ni;
Okan mi kun fayo, mo dominira;
N o yin Olurapada mi t'O gba mi.

N o korin aanu iyanu Re si mi,
N o yin tit' aye yoo fi mo p'O dara;
N o korin 'gbala nile leyin odi,
K'opo le gbotito Re k'ọn si gbaa gbo.

N o royin ogbun ati okunkun re,
N o yin Baba mi to gbo adura mi;
N o korin titun, orin ayo t'ife,
N o si gberin pel' awon mimo loke.

My heart was distressed ’neath Jehovah’s dread frown,
And low in the pit where my sins dragged me down;
I cried to the Lord from the deep miry clay,
Who tenderly brought me out to golden day.

Refrain:
He brought me out of the miry clay,
He set my feet on the Rock to stay;
He puts a song in my soul today,
A song of praise, hallelujah!

 He placed me upon the strong Rock by His side,
My steps were established and here I’ll abide;
No danger of falling while here I remain,
But stand by His grace until the crown I gain.

He gave me a song, ’twas a new song of praise;
By day and by night its sweet notes I will raise;
My heart’s overflowing, I’m happy and free;
I’ll praise my Redeemer, Who has rescued me.

I’ll sing of His wonderful mercy to me,
I’ll praise Him till all men His goodness shall see;
I’ll sing of salvation at home and abroad,
Till many shall hear the truth and trust in God.

I’ll tell of the pit, with its gloom and despair,
I’ll praise the dear Father, who answered my prayer;
I’ll sing my new song, the glad story of love,
Then join in the chorus with the saints above.
