N o mọ riri Rẹ, n o bu ọla fun Ọ
'Wọ, ogo, ayọ, ade ọkan mi.

Didara lawọn ọdan, sibẹ igi 'gbo dara ju
Ta wọ pel' ogo igba 'ruwe

O mọkan 'banujẹ kọrin

Didara ni oorun, sibẹ oṣupa dara ju,
Ati awọn irawọ ti n tan

Olugbala arẹwa, Oluwa ilẹ gbogbo,
Ọm' Ọlọrun at' Ọmọ eeyan!
Ogo ati ọla, iyin ati' juba,
Ko jẹ Tirẹ titi lailai.

Fairest Lord Jesus, ruler of all nature
O thou of God and man the Son
Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honour
Thou, my soul's glory, joy, and crown

Fair are the meadows, fairer still the woodlands
Robed in the blooming garb of spring
Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer
Who makes the woeful heart to sing

Fair is the sunshine, fairer still the moonlight
And all the twinkling starry host
Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer
Than all the angels heaven can boast.

Beautiful Saviour! Lord of all the nations
Son of God and Son of Man
Glory and honour, praise, adoration
Now and forevermore be thine
