Yoruba hymns With lyrics in English and Yoruba: my hope is built on nothing else


Igbagbo mi duro lori My hope is built on nothing else
Igbagbo mi duro lori
Eje atododo Jesu
N'ko je gbekele ohun kan
Leyin oruko nla Jesu
Mo duro le Krist' apata
Ile miran, iyanrin ni

B'ire ije mi tile gun
Ore-ofe Re ko yi pada
Bo ti wu k'iji na le to
Idakoro mi ko ni ye
Mo duro le Krist' apata
Ile miran iyanrin ni

Majemu ati eje Re
L'emi o ro mo b'ikunmi de
Gbati ohun aye bo tan
O je ireti nla fun mi
Mo duro le Krist' apata
Ile miran iyanrin ni

Gbat'ipe kehin ba si dun
A! m ba le wa lodo Jesu
Ki nwo ododo Re nikan
Ki n duro niwaju ite
Mo duro le Krist' apata
Ile miran iyanrin ni.

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
