Wa s'adura ooro

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.

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.
