Oda Mi Loju, Mo Ni Jesu

Representative Text

1 Oda mi loju, mo ni Jesu!
Itowo adun oorun l’eyi je!
Mo di ajogun igbala nla,
Eje Re we mi, a tun mi bi.

Egbe:
Ngo so itan na, ngo korin na,
Ngo yin Olugbala mi titi;
Ngo so itan na, ngo korin na,
Ngo yin Olugbala mi titi.

2 Ngo teriba fun tayotayo,
Mo le ri iran ogo bibo Re;
Angeli nmu ihin didun wa
Ti ife at’anu Re si mi. [Egbe]

3 Ngo teriba fun, ngo simi le
Mo di ti Jesu, Mo d’eni ’bukun,
Ngo ma sora, ngo si gbadura,
Ki ore Re ma fi mi sile. [Egbe]
