ENGLISH LYRICS: Rock of Ages, cleft for me
In the secret of his tabernacle shall He hide me. Ps. 27:51. Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy riven side which flowed
Be of sin the double cure,
Cleanse me from its guilt and power.
2. Not the labours of my hands
Can fulfil Thy law's demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears for ever flow,
All for sin could not atone:
Thou must save, and Thou alone.
3. Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to Thy Cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress;
Helpless, look to Thee for grace;
Foul, I to the fountain fly;
Wash me, Saviour, or I die.
4. While I draw this fleeting breath.
When my eyelids close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment throne;
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
YORUBA LYRICS: Apata ayeraye
On O pa mi mo ninu ago Re. OD. 27:51. Apata ayeraye,
Se ibi isadi mi;
Je ki omi on eje
T'o san lati iha Re

K'o si so mi di mimo.
2. K’ise ise owo mi
L’o le mu ofin Re se,
B’itara mi ko l’are
T’omije mi nsan titi,

'Wo nikan l'o le gbala.
3. Ko s'ohun ti mo mu wa,
Mo ro mo agbelebu;
Mo wa k’o d'aso bo mi,
Mo nwo O fun iranwo;
Mo wa sib' orisun ni,
We mi, Olugbala mi.
4. 'Gbati emi mi ba pin,
T'iku ba p'oju mi de,
Ti mba lo s’aye aimo,
Ki nri O n’ite ‘dajo;
Apata ayeraye
Se ibi isadi mi.
Amin.
