HYMN: King of my life, I crown thee now | Oba aye mi, mo yin O

ENGLISH LYRICS: King of my life, I crown thee now

and Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane. Matt.26:36

1.  King of my life, I crown thee now,
    Thine shall the glory be
    Lest I forget Thy thorn-crown brow
    Lead me to Calvary

Chorus:
    Lest I forget Gethsemane
    Lest I forget Thine agony
    Lest I forget Thy love for me
    Lead me to Calvary

2. Show me the tomb where
    Thou waist laid
    Tenderly mourn'd and wept
    Angels in robes of light arrayed
    Guarded Thee whilst Thou slept.

3. Let me, like Mary, through the gloom
    Come with a gift to Thee
    Show to me now the empty tomb
    Lead me to Calvary.

4. Fill me, O Lord, with Thy desire
    For all who know not Thee
    Then touch my lips with holy fire
    To speak of Calvary.

Amen.

   Fi Emi Mimo kun ‘nu mi
   Ki nso ti Kalfari.
