Yoruba hymn: Ma koja mi Olugbala

Ma koja mi Olugbala Pass me not o gentle Savior
1. Ma koja mi, Olugbala,
Gbo adura mi,
'Gba t'Iwo ba n p'elomiran,
Mase koja mi!

CHORUS
Jesu! Jesu! Gbo adura mi!
Gba t'Iwo ba n p'elomiran,
Mase koja mi.

2. N'ite anu je k'emi ri,
Itura didun;
Teduntedun ni mo wole,
Jo ran mi lowo.

3. N'igbekele itoye Re,
L'em' o w'oju Re;
Wo 'banuje okan mi san,
F'ife Re gba mi.

4. 'Wo orisun itunu mi,
Ju 'ye fun mi lo;
Tani mo ni l'ayƩ l'orun
Bikose Iwo?

1) Pass me not, O gentle Savior,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.

Refrain:
Savior, Savior,
Hear my humble cry,
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.

2) Let me at Thy throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief;
Kneeling there in deep contrition,
Help my unbelief.

3) Trusting only in Thy merit,
Would I seek Thy face;
Heal my wounded, broken spirit,
Save me by Thy grace.

4) Thou the spring of all my comfort,
More than life to me,
Whom have I on earth beside Thee,
Whom in Heav’n but Thee.
