1 E yo ninu Oluwa, E yo
Eyin t’okan re se dede
Eyin t’o ti yan Oluwa
L’ibanuje ati aro lo.

Egbe:
E yo, e yo
E yo nin’Oluwa e yo
E yo, E yo
E yo nin’Oluwa e yo.

2 E yo, to r’oun l’Oluwa

O l’agbara l’ati gbala. [Egbe]

Poju awon ota yin lo. [Egbe]

Fi duru ati ohun ko
Halleluyah l’ohun goro. [Egbe]

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
