TO GOD BE THE GLORY (OGO N'F'OLUWA)

TO GOD BE THE GLORY

To God be the glory, great things He has done;
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
And opened the life gate that all may go in.

Refrain

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father, through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory, great things He has done.

O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,
To every believer the promise of God;
The vilest offender who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.

Refrain

Great things He has taught us, great things He has done,
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
But purer, and higher, and greater will be
Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.

OGO N’F’OLUWA

Ogo ni f’Oluwa, to se ohun nla;
Ifelo mu k’o fun wa ni Omo Re,
Eniti O f’emi Re lele fese wa,
To si silekun iye sile fun wa.

Egbe

Yin Oluwa, yin Oluwa,
F’Iyin fun Oluwa!
Yin Oluwa, yin Oluwa,
E yo ni waju Re!
K’a to baba wa lo, L’oruko Jesu,
Jek’a jo f’ogo fun Onise ’yanu.

Irapada kikun, ti eje Re ra,
F’enikeni t’ogba ileri Re gbo;
Enit’o buruju boba le gbagbo,
Lojukanna y’ori idari gba.

Egbe

O s’ohun nla fun wa, o da wa l’ola.
Ayo wa di kikun ninu Omo Re;
Ogo ati ewa Irapada yi
Y’oya wa lenu ’gbat’a ba ri Jesu.
