Author: John Fawcett, pub. 1782 'Bukun ni fun ohun, T' o de wa po n'nu 'fe; Idapo awon olufe, Dabi ijo t' orun. Niwaju 'te Baba, Li awa ngbadura; Okan n' ireti at' eru, Ati ni itunu.

Source: YBH #318 Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love; The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above. Before our Father’s throne, We pour our ardent prayers; Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one— Our comforts and our cares.

When we asunder part, It gives us inward pain; But we shall still be joined in heart, And hope to meet again. From sorrow, toil, and pain, And sin we shall be free; And perfect lo...

Source: Stanzas 1-3 & 5-8 from YBH #259 Stanza 4 translated by Ayobami Temitope Kehinde (07/04/2020) Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin? The blood of Jesus whispers peace within.

Peace, perfect peace,...
