Ki N Mo Nipa Jesu Sii / More About Jesus

-
Author: E. E. Hewitt (1887)
Mo fe mo nipa Jesu sii,
F'or' ofe Re h' elomiran;
Ki n le ri 'gbala kikun Re,
Ki n mo 'fe 'ni to ku fun mi.

 Egbe:
Ki n mo nipa Jesu sii,
Ki n mo nipa Jesu sii;
Ki n le ri 'gbala kikun Re,
Ki n mo 'fe 'ni to ku fun mi

 N o ko nipa Jesu sii,
Ki n da 'fe Re mimo mo si i;
K' Em' Olorun j'oluko mi,
Fi ona ti Kristi han mi.

 Ki n mo Jesu si n'oro Re,
Ki n ma b'Oluwa mi soro;
Ki n si gbo 'ro Re lokokan,
So 'ro 'tito Re di t'emi.

 Ki n mo Jesu l 'ori 'te Re,
Pel' oro gbogbo Ogo Re;
Mo bi'joba Re ti n po si,
Bibo Re Oba 'lafia

More about Jesus
 would I know,
More of His grace to others show;
More of His saving fulness see,
More of His love who died for me.

 Refrain:
More, more about Jesus,
More, more about Jesus;
More of His saving fulness see,
More of His love who died for me.

 More about Jesus let me learn,
More of His holy will discern;
Spirit of God my teacher be,
Showing the things of Christ to me.

 More about Jesus; in His Word,
Holding communion with my Lord;
Hearing His voice in every line,
Making each faithful saying mine.

 More about Jesus; on His throne,
Riches in glory all His own;
More of His kingdom’s sure increase;
More of His coming, Prince of Peace.

The Story Behind More About Jesus

Eliza Edmunds Hewitt was born in 1851, graduated as valedictorian of her normal school class and went on to teach in the public schools in Philadelphia. All of this suddenly ended when she suffered a debilitating back injury and became bed-ridden for an extended period of time.

Could she have been bitter? Certainly. Could she have complained to God about the unfairness of it all? None of us would have blamed her if she did.

But the truth is, she didn't. From her bed, she studied English literature and began to sing and write.

She took this time to learn more about Jesus. This was her prayer to her Lord, that he open her eyes so she would see more of Him and reflect more of Him.

More about Jesus let me learn,
More of His holy will discern;
Spirit of God, my teacher be,
Showing the things of Christ to me.

Some of her poems became known to Professor John R. Sweeney, who set them to music.

Eliza's back condition improved and she was able to resume some of her duties, though she struggled with pain the rest of her life. She became Sunday school superintendent of the Northern Home for Friendless Children and later at Calvin Presbyterian Church. She died in 1920.
