1 Nipa ife Olugbala
Ki y’o si nkan;
Ojurere Re ki pada
Ki y’o si nkan.
Owon l’eje t’o wo wa san
Pipe l’edidi or’-ofe
Agbara l’owo t’o gba ni,
Ko le si nkan.

2 Bi a wa ninu iponju
Ki y’o si nkan:
Igbala kikun ni ti wa,
Ki y’o si nkan;
Igbekele Olorun dun,
Gbigbe ininu Kristi l’ere,
Emi si nso wa di mimo,
Ko le si nkan

3 Ojo ola yio dara
Ki y’o si nkan.
’Gbagbo le korin n’ iponji,
Ki y’o si nkan.
A gbekele ’fe Baba wa;
Jesu nfun wa l’ohun gbogbo
Ni yiye tabi ni kiku
Ko le si nkan.

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 >
