Hymn

ENGLISH LYRICS: Safe in the arms of Jesus

...eternal God is Thy refuge. Deut.33:27

1.  Safe in the arms of Jesus,
    Safe on His gentle breast,
    There by His love o'er shaded,
    Sweetly my soul shall rest.
    Hark 'tis the voice of angels
    Borne in a strong to me,
    Over the fields of glory
    Over the jasper sea.

    Safe in the arms of Jesus,
    Safe on His gentle breast,
    There by His love o'er shaded,
    Sweetly my soul shall rest.

2. Safe in the arms of Jesus
    Safe from corroding care
    Safe from the world's temptations
    Sin cannot harm me there
    Free from the blight of sorrow
    Free from my doubt and fear
    Only a few more trials
    Only a few more tears.

3. Jesus, my heart's dear refuge,
    Jesus has died for me;
    Firm on the Rock of ages
    Ever my trust shall be.
    Here let me wait with patience,
    mp Wait till the night is o'er;
    cr Wait till I see the morning
    Break on the golden shore.

Amen.


YORUBA LYRICS: Laifoya l’apa Jesu

Olorun ayeraye ni ibugbe Re. Deut. 33:27.

1. Laifoya l’apa Jesu,
   Laifoya l’aya Re;
   Labe ojij’ ife Re
   L’okan mi o simi
   Gbo! ohun angeli ni,
   Orin won d’eti mi
   Lati papa ogo wa,
   Lati okun Jaspi;

   L’aifoya l’apa Jesu,
   L’aifoya l’aya Re,
   L’abe ojij’ ife Re
   L’okan mi o simi.

2. L’aifoya l’apa Jesu,
   Mo bo low’ aniyan;
   Mo bo lowo idanwo,
   Ese ko nipa mo;
   Mo bo lowo ‘banuje,
   Mo bo lowo eru;
   O ku idanwo die,
   O k’omije die,
   Laifoya l’apa Jesu
   Laifoya l’aya Re
   L’abe ojij’ ife Re
   L’okan mi o simi.

3. Jesu, abo okan mi,
   Jesu ti ku fun mi;
   Apata ayeraye
   L’emi o gbekele;
   Nihin l’emi o duro
   Tit’ oru y’o koja;
   Titi uno fi ri ‘mole
   Ni ebute ogo.
   Laifoya l’apa Jesu,
   Laifoya l’aya Re,
   L’abe ojij’ ife Re
   L’okan mi Osimi.
Amin
