Come to the Morning Prayer

1) Wa s'adura ooro, Kunle k'a gbadura; Adura ni opa Kristiani, Lati b'Olorun rin. 2) Losan, wole labe, Apat' ayeraye; Itura ojiji Re dun, Nigba t'orun ba mu. 3) Jẹ ki gbogbo ile, Wa gbadura l'ale; Ki ile wa di t'Olorun, Ati 'bode orun.   4) Nigbat' od'oganjo, Je k'a wi l'emi, pe, Mo sun, sugbon okan mi ji Lati ba O sona.

1) Come to the Morning Prayer, Come let us kneel and pray; Prayer is the Christian pilgrim's staff To walk with God all day. 2) At noon, beneath the Rock Of Ages, rest and pray; Sweet is that shadow from the heat, When the sun smites by day. 3) At eve, shut to the door, Round the home-altar pray, And finding there "the House of God," At "heaven's gate" close the day. 4) When midnight seals our eyes, Let each in spirit say, "I sleep, but my heart waketh, Lord, With Thee to watch and pray.

Now thank we all our God, with heart and hands and voices, Who wondrous things has done, in whom this world rejoices; Who from our mothers’ arms has blessed us on our way With countless gifts of love, and still is ours today. O may this bounteous God through all our life be near us, With ever joyful hearts and blessèd peace to cheer us; And keep us in His grace, and guide us when perplexed; And free us from all ills, in this world and the next! All praise and thanks to God the Father now be given; The Son and Him who reigns with Them in highest Heaven; The one eternal God, whom earth and Heaven adore; For thus it was, is now, and shall be evermore..

My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus’ blood and righteous;  No merit of my own I claim But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.  On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;  All other ground is sinking sand.  When darkness veils his lovely face,  I ret on his unchanging grace;  In every high and story gale  My anchor holds within the veil.  On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;  All other ground is sinking sand.  His oath, his covenant, his blood Sustain me in the raging flood;  When all supports are washed away,  He then is all my hope and stay.  On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;  All other ground is sinking sand.  When he shall come with trumpet sound,  Oh, may I then in him be found,  Clothed in his righteousness alone,  Redeemed to stand before the throne!  On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;  All other ground is sinking sand
