Hymn

ENGLISH LYRICS: When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. Romans 8:18

 1.  When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed,
     When you are discourage, thinking all is lost,
     Count your many blessings-name them one by one,
     And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Count your blessings, name them one by one;
Count your blessings, see what God hath done.
Count your blessings, name them one by one
Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.

2.  When you look at others with their lands of gold,
     Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;
     Count your many blessings' money cannot buy
     Your reward in heaven nor your home on high.

3.  So amid the conflict, whether great or small,
     Do not be discouraged; God is over all.
     Count your many blessings; angels will attend,
     Help and comfort give you to your journey's end.


YORUBA LYRICS: Nigbati ‘gbi aye ba dide si o

Iya igba isisiyi ko ye latifi se aka we ogo ti a ofi han wa. Rom. 8:18.

 1. Nigbati ‘gbi aye ba dide si o,
   To si dabi enipe gbogbo re pin,
   Ka ibukun re, siro won l’okokan,
   Ise Oluwa yo je ‘yanu fun o

Ka ‘bukun re, ka won l’okokan, 
Ka ‘bukun re, wo ‘se Olorun; 
Ka ‘bukun re, ka won l’okokan, 
Ka ‘bukun re, wa ri ‘se t’Olorun se. 

2. Eru aniyan ha nwo ‘kan re l’orun!
   Ise t’a pe o si ha soro fun O;
   Ka ‘bukun re, ‘yemeji yo si fo lo,
   Orin iyin ni yo si gb’enu re kan.

3. ‘Gbat’ o ba nwo awon oloro aye,
   Ronu oro ti Jesu ti se leri;
   Ka ibukun re, owo ko le ra won,
   Ere re l’orun ati ‘le re l’oke.

4. Ninu gbogbo ayidayida aye,
   Mase foya, Olorun tobi julo;
   Ka ‘bukun re, awon angel’ yo to o
   Won yo si ran o lowo titi d’opin.
Amin.
